Hi
I am interested in Kreskin material particularly his approach for getting people into the right state
I.E The state where they are suggestible and and he can do his stuff
I already have
They call it hypnosis
This is quite helpful
and
The amazing Kreskin mental marvels DVD and
Amazing world of Kreskin book are on order
I have tried Google and Amazon but can't get any hard facts on contents of
the other Kreskin books and DVDs
I am able to use Covert Hypnosis but that usually is too slow for doing Mentalism
effects
I want to be able to quickly put specs in a suggestible state so that the effects I do work better
Kreskin is famous for doing this but do any of his products reveal the real works
behind his methods?
Can anybody tell me?
Or, for that matter, tell me about any other works by other people that will help me
Cheers
TJ

I "suggest" reading:
Monsters and magical sticks by Steven Heller
Training trances by John Overdurf and Julie Siverthorn
Sleight of mind by Ian Harling and Martin Nyrop
Almost everything by Ormond Mcgill, especially the Encyclopedia
Trance This by Kenton Knepper
Waking Hypnosis DVD by Gerald Kein
Learn the basics of the pattern interrupts, like the handshake interrupt Derren Brown uses often. (from Erickson's books)
BTW what do you mean by saying covert hypnosis is too slow for mentalism? covert hypnosis is a way of communication. Of course the longer you get to know a person's map of the world, the greater your influence is but you don't have to go that deep to affect someone. What is the environment you perform at regularly?

Hi Hypnotize
I have all of them except Trance This by KK
I have the Kein book but not the DVD
My curiousity was aroused by reading They Call It Hypnosis
I thought that if it is all done by suggestion and compliance, then how can I become an expert in making suggestions and increasing the spectators' state?
I do Tarot readings and do some well chosen mentalism effects to increase my
"mystic persona"
You are 100% right
I do not have to go that deep for a reading
What I would like to do is get better at doing Covert Hypnosis so that
I can get my clients into a suggestible state so they accept the reading
better
I am doing OK now but I want to make improvements
I will go through the books you mentioned again but focus more on what I want
this time
i.e getting a light trance quickly
Thanks for the help:-
