Induction to all or volunteers only
Hi to all,
I have another question. What are the pros and cons to pre-induction to the whole audience or after pre-talk just ask for volunteers? Should I ask for volunteers even with a small group or it is safer to engage the whole audience? Any thoughts on my dilemma?
Appreciate your input,
Gyula

When I have had small groups (say 15-20) I have done a goup induction with all, then pulled my volunteers onstage after the group induction from the audience. Both ways will work.

Audiences in general love to participate, so I say give them something to do at the beginning of the show. Any performer is in some sense a hypnotist--when I do storytelling or music, I'm guiding my audience through various states and getting them to do what I want. So you might as well establish that kind of relationship with your entire audience before you call for volunteers, imho.

Pre-talk usually is helpful and I would suggest to do that. And some simple hypno-experiments.
The point is, that you never know what kind of assumptions or excpectations people in the audience have.
If you work together with the whole audience, you have a chance to build more trust in your work.
Believe it or not- but people have sometimes really weird perception of hypnosis, your skills, what may or may not happen.
Running some "hypnotic tests" is IMHO far better than simply talking to those guys. And it simply helps to relax them. Then when they are more relaxed- better chances for you to get really honest volunteers.
I have heard many years ago, that level of understanding and remembering from someone's speech is about 7%.
You talk- the audience grasps 7%.
It is far better when they are engaged. They simply start to really EXPERIENCE something and this makes them more at ease.
If you have a look at different areas of life- CROWDS love action. Not talking.
As simply as that. This rule applies everywhere.
Another psychological opinions say, that "crowd's intelligence" (level of IQ) is smaller than total amount of separate IQ's.
Simply- crowd is "slower" than each single person alone:)
The more you SHOW the better for you. The more you make them to really EXPERIENCE- the better for your show.
After almost 18 years on stage- audience is like a bing child. Easy to manage. And more emotional than "verbal".
Again- less talking and more emotional action.

James,
You're right. Since lately I had larger groups especially at colleges and high schools, I think I neglected engaging with the audience enough. Thanks for the feedback.

Ian,
Great reminder of the 7%, I long forgotten. Thank for your opinion.
