I have heard of Ericksonian hypnotic language. What is it? Why is it used? Can you basically hypnotize spectators without the audiance knowing? Is it difficult to learn. I am currently a mentalist looking to become mindreader. I was wondering if I could use hypnotic language to perform effects such as hand stuck to table, induce toothaches, etc. Hypnotic language can be a powerful tool for a mindreader since the audiance is unaware that any form of hypnosis is being used. What are some good sources on hypnotic language? Is Ericksonian language the best or are there other kinds?
