the Free Hypnosis Social Network
I never expected Hypnosis to be this big of a hit. Need some help though.
Once the news emerged that I had successfully hypnotized someone, everyone started asking. So I decided to take the increased attention and use it to my advantage. I did some research and began memorizing and learning some speed trance inductions since of course they are more entertaining, and more practical in a room of 6-7 people.
My third attempt at hypnotizing someone, EVER, turned out to be a crowd of 5 people, and they were all eager to see my hypnotize people, and start making them do ridiculous things. To my surprise I was able to drop all but 2 into trance instantly with arm catalepsy convincer, followed by fingers fluttering in front of their eyes. The next was out after some group Progressive Relaxation, and the last took much longer, she was constantly in and out of it, she would go into her lap, and after 10 seconds, wake up and say she wasn't hypnotized, then I'd snap, and she'd fall again, and get pack up a few seconds later, exclaiming it wasn't working.
After some sillyness, some glued hands together, group laughing, thinking hair was cotton candy etc, everyone had a good time, and it was an amazing boost in confidence. Next night, new group of people, again a complete success, I hypnotized everyone again.
Now tonight I had just 2 friends over, and one had been previously hypnotized, so she was extremely easy to put into trance, but the other took about an hour to convince enough to go into trance, but any further than trance, was impossible, she would not follow suggestions, glued hands wouldn't work, but when I snapped and said sleep, she went right down.
So now that my confidence on a sort of stage is high, I need some help;
How do you deepen those who are hypnotized in a type of public/stage like setting? I tried a million different ways of suggesting, "you don't know why/ you don't care/ it's funny/ it's just stuck, keep repeating it's stuck/ you know you can remove it you just choose not to" etc etc. But a majority of the time, about half were completely unresponsive, and had no trouble unsticking their hands, or just not responding.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to deepen those who are new to hypnosis in a type of stage show?
How will I know if what I am suggesting is going to work, they always look focused, but in the end it just fails?
I feel as if, I able to get everyone into a state of trance, but unable to move further, with my limited knowledge, what would be my next step in learning how to deepen them, and make a more theatric and fun experience for everyone?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Jordan

Perhaps you need to increase your rapport, or or you have a mismatcher, in which case you might say something like, I can't make you...or, you may not want to...right NOW..., at this moment..if you don't WANT to.

Remember to pyramid your effects. Start with the easiest effects to achieve, and then work your way up. Do that every single time. Every suggestion a person accepts makes them more likely to accept the next, which btw is a deepener on its own.
You can also fractionate a group. If you don't know fractionation, now is the time to look it up and learn.

Try saying something along these lines:
"Every word I say, every beat of your heart, every gentle breath you exhale helps you to relax and go deeper. From this point on everything I tell you will become your reality, you know what I say you know, you believe what I say you believe, you see what I say you can see and you hear what I say you can hear. Nod your head if you understand."
This is paraphrased from Anthony Jacquin and it works great because they are agreeing to go along with everything you tell them.

Give the suggestion. Then say...
"If you understand this nod your head"
It works wonders.
