How To Amaze & Inspire People With Street Hypnosis

The simple, tried and tested method to amaze and inspire people with hypnosis is:

  1. Induce a waking trance (see Session 1)
  2. Demonstrate a “suggestibility test” – or other suggestion experiments – like Arm Levitation or Catalepsy

Keep things interactive so that everyone is involved. From there expand into a meaningful
routine like:

  • The Hypnotic Pendulum (where you calibrate for yes/no and ask the unconscious mind questions.) This shows hypnosis as a useful and practical tool rather than just a cheap trick.
  • Hypnotic Anaesthesia. To do this, directly suggest that a particular part of their upper forearm (this is the safest area) is…
“becoming completely numb, you can still feel things there but nothing that happens
there will bother you at all, you will notice it but it will be comfortable and easy to
ignore.”

Then you can pinch quite hard the skin at the top of the forearm, and then ask the subject
afterwards if they felt pain, typically they will say no.

From this point you could easily do an instant induction, or a mini hypnosis show.

Your Mini Hypnosis Show

You have no music, stage or equipment, but you do have a crowd – so you’re on a roll!

Rules For A Succesful Mini Hypnotic Show

  1. The subjects have to do what you say; they must be conditioned to follow your instructions instantly without consciously checking what you say. You have to move fast so that you overload them and shut their thinking off. From the start keep issuing instructions, layering them and compounding your suggestions and building compliance. As soon as you have a response issue another suggestion. Start with simple suggestions at first.
  2. From there build up, make your suggestions and instructions larger and more significant. Create behaviours. To create behaviours, actions, it helps to build a little social pressure.
  3. Now go through some kind of quick induction, or rapid induction. One way to do this is to convert a suggestibility experiment into an induction. E.g. the Finger Vice:
  • Just when the fingers touch gently nudge the back of their head forward and say Now just close your eyes and sleep.”
  • When you do a rapid induction they spike into trance, but will soon rise again, so you have to quickly move into your deepener to keep them under.
  • Use the four words of power and use a basic induction/deepener.
  1. Now you have to escalate your suggestions and keep the momentum going. You have to escalate smoothly, such as:

  • Give simple suggestions (“someone has walked in with a batch of rotting eggs, and they smell terrible and you have to edge away from the smell”)
  • Build it up, escalate the behaviours: “it’s cold in here, freezing, so you have to move and try and warm yourself up.”
  • Build it up further and deal with each subject individually (“in a minute I will tap you on the shoulder and when I do you will be unable to talk”)

  1. Now you will have enough compliance to become even more complicated and dramatic. Always remember:

  • Be nice to the subjects. Use Hypnosis as a Force For Good – so make sure that it is a pleasant experience for them. Avoid embarrassing them!
  • Avoid Regressions (as there is a possibility of abreaction).
Trouble Shooting Tip: Rapid Inductions

If they don’t shut their eyes when you say “Sleep!!”, take it in your stride. They will take their
cue from you – so if you get worried they will too! Simply stay calm and gently suggest things
like: “close your eyes and sleep” again.

Then keep adding suggestions to comfort them: “That’s right, now close your eyes and sleep!
Such a good, safe, comfortable feeling…”

How To Use Street Hypnosis As A force For Good

After you have built up compliance and have you subject(s) in a deep trance (see above) you
could try using a Dynamic Mental Imagery journey (see the Dynamic Principle masterclass) or
you might like to do some “secret” changeword (e.g. where the subject does not tell you their
problem).

The 6 Step Reframe is a great technique for “secret” changework.
The Simplified 6 Step Reframe


  1. Set up yes/no signals with their unconscious mind (finger signals or otherwise)
  2. Get the to pick a problem they have been working on
  3. Ask them to go to the creative part of their mind, the “dream machine” and get it to present 10 different behaviours to solve the problem
  4. Go into the future and test them all
  5. Take 3 that you will remember and use over the next couple of months
  6. Wake them up.
Another way to use street hypnosis as a force for good is by creating Generative Changes
(improvement without doingtherapy)

One way to do this is to create Future Memories, e.g. to improve in golf:


  1. Ask “how do you know when your golf swing will be successful”
  2. Feed this back to them
  3. Take them into the future with them feeling like that every time “wouldn’t it be nice if...”
  4. Here you may want to distract them so that they do not consciously interfere with the processes.
Remember that all this is of course being done within a hypnotic context – which is why it
works better than just a pep talk!

Street Hypnosis Routines Which Have A Dramatic Impact On People.

1. Deep Trance Identification (do not do with people with instabilities).

Before you do a Deep Trance Identification always get consent from the person first. A Deep
Trance Identification is one of the most powerful learning tools that exist.

They unconscious mind does not know how to pretend, so what you pretend about yourself
eventually becomes real (Stanford Prison Trials).

How To Do A Deep Trance Identification

  1. Get lots of behavioural responses first, so that they are conditioned to respond
  2. Ask them to look at the person they want to DTI with (if the person is there) or imagine them being there
  3. Ask them to begin to copy their movements, become their shadow
  4. Start copying their mental ideas
  5. Suddenly they become the other person
  6. Then suggest that the actual person is an imposter, trying to copy them, they are the actual person, not them.
You can end the deep trance identification by asking them to float out of the new body and
enter their own; bringing with them all the learnings they gained.

2. Healing Energy

You can do this with physical healing or emotional energy. This is not necessarily real energy,
but perhaps a psychological/hallucinated version. You could even suggest something like Reiki.

Get them to remember the experience of love, health & vitality etc. – and then use suggestion to
amplify the experience so their whole body is immersed in it. By the end of this experience they
should be buzzing with whatever type of “healing energy” you invested them with!

Street Hypnosis and Magic
Magic is meaningless in its raw form, what gives it the excitement is the story’s told around the
routines: i.e. the patter, the story, the set up.

Street Hypnosis is the same. The routine becomes the release mechanism for all the expectation
build up in the story and set up.

So, for Healing Energy

  • Build an indirect story around something significant (a ring or similar) can have spiritual significance, can carry the essence of the person who gave them
  • Directly suggest that when you touch the ring etc, something amazing will happen, you will feel a tingling, an essence, it will be like you were with that person again, all those feelings, concentrated and magnified, focused in the palm of your hand.
  • Have the good feeling travel across the body, and settle in the hear
  • Remind that them, every time they see/feel the object that can bring back the good feelings and the connection with the person.
You can use this for the glow of love, a healing warmth, a blanket of happiness, a 1000 volts of
excitement (use this metaphor carefully, don’t mention the word electricity or volts to someone
that has had bad experiences with these – eg got electrocuted before!)

With any health issue – especially pain reduction – be sure that the subject has already seen a
doctor and all the appropriate medical people – never treat pain or any other health condition
without a doctors consent/involvement.

3. The Control Panel

One way of giving people control of their mind is to give them a control panel to their mind,
were they can turn up good feelings and down bad ones.

Be sure that with this it becomes a gift, not something to aspire to – i.e. if they don’t respond to
this metaphor then give them a different gift.

4. The Hypnotic Blitz

The blitz is a great technique for overloading the critical factor, and persuading people to your
point of view. (The benediction is also a form of blitz).

To Use The Blitz
When you use the blitz you generally want to:

  • Use a powerful hypnotic gaze.
  • At the same time deliver an intense monologue of hypnotic suggestions.
  • Mingle logic with passion and intuition.
The Step By Step Approach To The Blitz

  1. Grab their attention with a shocking statement, or physical touch.
  2. Ramp up the suggestions, pick up the pace, rivet their attention, and don’t let them escape.
  3. Always make sure that everything that you say starts off as logical – you’re setting up a conflict between what you’re saying (logically correct) and how you’re saying it.
  4. Be very intense, but with acceptant, kind, logical mannerisms.
You are mixing logical statements with completely irrational behaviour. This both bypasses the
critical factor and stimulates the unconscious, so is a great induction to use.

How To Use The Blitz To Invigorate A Personal Relationship
You can use the blitz in relationships.

To use the blitz, simply use the “Benediction” protocol and


  • Playfully, but intently, blame your partner for being... everything they want to be (attractive, smart, sexy, kind etc)
  • throw compliments at them, with a glint in your eyes, as if blaming them for being everything that they aspire to in the relationship
  • Be sure to ramp yourself up, go first, and really see them as such and\ amazing person.
Other Uses Of The Blitz

The hypnotic blitz can be used as a benediction, mixing logic with hypnotic overload to blitz all
maledictions and install benedictions. The hypnotic blitz teaches the “power” element of
hypnosis, when you understand the power element of hypnosis your mastery over hypnotic
technique soars to new heights!

“Power” is often misunderstood by modern hypnotists. “Power” does not come from power over
someone, but personal power from yourself!

Milton Erickson was so effective as before he turned to his softer style he used very authoritarian
hypnosis, so when he turned to indirect hypnosis he still had “10,000 volts of power” running in
the background to back up his indirect suggestions.

Though he was gentle, kindly and respectful, people still comment on how imposing and
powerful a figure he was – even near the end when he was sitting crippled in a wheelchair.

To become a great hypnotist you must master the performance and the power elements ofmhypnosis. Street Hypnosis teaches you this, and is a force for good, so why not use it as this, and let other people benefit from it too.
