No matter who you’re hypnotising, a successful session depends on capturing the subject’s attention. Distractions draw focus away from you. When someone focuses on a loud noise or moving, they aren’t listening to you speak and will be less likely to reach a trance state.  This applies to self-hypnosis as well. You’re going to have a hard time reaching a relaxed state with the TV on, your phone buzzing, and the dogs barking. Street or stage hypnotists create a quiet atmosphere by drawing eyes to themselves. With practice, they learn how to do this even in public. For example, the hypnotist may describe a beautiful scene or have you do a simple task like join your hands together. Hypnotism must only be performed on willing participants. For hypnotherapists, consent also involves discovering what a client needs to gain from the session. Then, you tailor your session to suit the client’s needs.  For example, some common goals for hypnotherapy are quitting smoking, gaining confidence, and achieving goals. With performance hypnotism, you need consent, but you don’t need to spend time discussing the session. Your goal is to get someone to do something like lock their hands together, not work through deep personal issues. Hypnotism is all about convincing people. If you don’t sound convincing, do not expect someone else to believe what you’re saying. Describe scenes with clear, crisp language and offer suggestions with authority. For example, when using a direct suggestion, you say, “You will feel happy and positive when you wake up.” Read up about hypnotic language and find words to adapt in your practice. In particular, look for “power” words or “hot” words that pack plenty of emotion. By bringing up strong emotions in a subject, you engage their unconscious mind more, leading to more effective hypnotism.  Some powerful words are “imagine,” “you,” and “because.” When you’re describing a scene to draw a subject’s focus, use these words to make the image more vivid. Choose words that pack a descriptive punch. Phrases like “beautiful lake” and “strong mountain” are a few examples. Keep them vague so you don’t interrupt trance states. Street and stage hypnotists need to get audience members into a trance very quickly. After you master the basic techniques, work on simplifying them to move quickly from inducing a trance state to suggesting an action and ending the trance.  Performers often are in environments with lots of distractions, so dragging out the hypnotism increases the likelihood of it being unsuccessful. They perform hypnotisms in 60 seconds or less. For quick hypnotism, approach the other person with energy. Use concise sentences to induce the trance, deepen it, then provide the hypnotic suggestion before ending it.
