Permalink Reply by Sean Michael Andrews on August 6, 2009 at 1:52am I have personally met six world's fastest hypnotists and have seen a number of folks out there who claim the title. While I tell folks I am a speed hypnosis expert, I don't claim to be the fastest but I am THE WORLD'S HANDSOMEST HYPNOTIST (tm). Sean owns the webpage and he understands marketing. There are a couple folks who claim the title who are not so honest and who are rather pushy and denigrating toward others. There is no way to truly determine "fastest" as one man's fast is another man's slow boat to Asia. I recently had a comment on one of my youtube videos (one of the "stare inductions") which said that I was too slow and that another guy was obviously so much faster . . . the induction was fifteen seconds with a person in for a first-ever session and I never even posted it was my fastest, just a demonstration of a technique . . . when I looked at the other guy's video, it appeared that it was less than one second but he had seven minutes of interview first and was working with a professional hypnotist who he had hypnotized repeatedly before . . . so which induction was truly faster? The measures tend to get fuzzy.
In all honesty, and this is coming from someone who teaches speed hypnosis - why, I'll be seeing Sean in just one short week on the beach in sunny California - it isn't being the FASTEST that matters so much, it's using the most appropriate induction with that person at that time in the most effective way. Fast inductions are great and they do tend to shift people into highly responsive patterns very effectively. However, in terms of what you do with 'em after the induction, it really isn't whether or not you've a speed record under your belt that matters but whether or not you've guided the person effectively and comfortably into a trance place where they can have a meaningful experience.
Of course, as hypnotists, playing with speed can be fun . . . without the stop watches . . . but our trance partner's couldn't care less whether you took five minutes, fifteen seconds, five seconds, two point three seconds or less than one second to get 'em where they need to be in a way that maximizes the experience itself.
Oh, yes, Sean is fast . . . and so am I . . . and so are all the other folks who have become specialists in this sort of induction pattern . . . but . . . I seriously doubt that a meaningful conclusion could ever be made regarding who's the "fastest" . . . as the variables really are too high.
It ain't the speed, but the getting there that matters.
In my opinion.
All the best,
Brian
