I have always wanted to know how hypnotists make someone fall backwards like that, ive never been able to figure it out. Of course ive never seen it live, I'm sure it must be in the patter.

LOL funny to see the "from the devil" comments....
You have music not patter on this video. Simple waking hypnosis, right out of Ormond McGills book encyclopedia of hypnosis... The patter instructs people to the suggestion, the wacky hand motions have NOTHING to do with them falling backwards, it is just theater. The paper spinning is physics and nothing new, I am sure this is described somewhere on themagiccafe. So is it real? It is real suggestability. Suggestability/expectation is real hypnosis if hypnosis is defined as suggestability. Is it real 'mesmerism', shamanism, voodoo, sanatanism, magik, etc? About at real as any of the bizzarro magicians ala Euguen Burger, max maven, Tony Andruzzi

Oooh. I take that it's a bogus workshop then. What got me really confused was why there's that many people attending even though it's fake.

Its not fake suggestion. Its fake "supernatural". Why so many people in class? Looks like he only had 30 out of 6 billion, but that's another post....
Lots of people go to seminars to learn things that look real, but are not. For example, how many people go to a magic convention, knowing cards are marked, black-art abounds and ladys really don't get sawed in half? They go becasue they can learn something that will give them a sense of power or mystery. People don't mind doing fake stuff if some people are believers. Take Uri Geller for example.... Take Peter Popoff... or any other "supernaturalist" mindreading, spoonbending, metnalist. Have the people in the video learned how to influence others and gain power and control - even if its not true "magik"? The asnwer is yes, and that is why people go.... Come to our class in March, I will teach you how to draw people over using "Animal Magnatism" if that what you want to learn... It does look good on stage!

Scary people!
That music is er... I wouldn't class shamanism with bizzare magic its a completely different thing altogether. And people also learn "fake" things like walking over hot coals, broken glass or breaking arrows not for a sense of power. But for a metaphor for change. Doing something they thought was impossible contextulizes to other parts of their lives and can facilitate some profound personal changes. To compare these types of seminars with magic seminars is like comparing apples and oranges. I'm surprised Richard wouldn't make this distinction. |
