For any of you who use, or want to use, the subconscious as part of the world of your mentalism show... and why wouldn't you?... I highly recommend Bob Burns' The Swan.
You can find out more about it here: http://lifelinehypnotherapy.com/The-Swan(2875521).htm There's certainly an "Hypnosis with Trance" vibe to it, but it's not hypnosis and there's certainly no trance I don't want this to get lost in "Sleepy" this is work that has great value to mystery performers of all stripes. I use "imagination tests" in my performance and The Swan is definitely making an appearance. You don't have to play any role... this is fun... but powerful fun. I had no idea what I was in for and I couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks Bob! d

Well, that's me out then.
I only buy instant downloads that are no longer than seven minutes. Anything longer than that cannot possibly be worthwhile.

Hi guys,
As some of you will know I CAN BE a bit of a plonker ie: some of the guys who bought this (THE SWAN) I truly believed were hypnotists/clinical hypnotherapists, and was surprised later to discover they were mentalists (some of whom I had been chatting to 'in here' for many years). I just discovered literally 5 mins ago that the fella' called Dave Moses is in fact 'dmoses' who's posts I have been happily reading in here... forever. LOL! Thankyou very much for posting this Dave. As you will know I used to post daily on 'Penny For Your Thoughts' and suddenly backed off. To be honest, until I received an email just a few moment s ago I don't remember being aware of 'Mentally Speaking' (what a great idea ) If I can say very quickly that although I work as a pro mentalist I have also been hypnotising since 1977 so I've dropped a few you might say. I run a fairly successful practice here in Montrose (the home of James Esdaile)where I mentor visiting therapists and also do workshops around Europe revealing my particular take. THE SWAN came about by accident whilst working on myself (hey, it's what I do ) and since then I've taught it to a couple hundred therapists and stage hypnotists. But I now use it in my mentalism work, both one on one and in group work. If I can very quickly thank Andy Fisher for posting the SWAN CLIP (thankyou Andy). That particular clip was taken during a coffee break and I honestly had no idea that someone was even filming it till we were well into the protocol. But I actually like it as it reveals that not ALL specs/clients are 'naturals' and sometimes we have to work a wee bit? It was taken during a workshop I was doing in London and the gentleman involved (Philippe) and I have since become very good friends. The guy filming it eventually popped over from Athens to spend a couple days being mentored by me (it's a funny old world huh?)where he saw me perform THE SWAN, again & again, in its full glory! I also want to thank IAIN DUNFORD (cool thinker)for contacting me recently with some truly wonderful ideas of performing THE SWAN that I simply never thought about and might want to take further (with him). I guess I should honestly end by saying that although THE SWAN is 'a keeper' in any mentalist act I do believe it is also a revelation in how to TRULY contact our very own subconscious. You don't really need to hypnotise. You can simply summon THE SWAN. Yours aye, bobser (Bob Burns)

Please Atlas-- don't encourage him!
ps. performed The Swan for the first time today. The reaction was terrific-- from both the subject, and the people who were watching it unfold. Anything that can make your mentalism visual is a gift. And this "mental game" has a terrific theatrically to it. For those who have it, I added one last phase to Bob's "routine" which is to end with a positive affirmation as the Swan lays down its head ( "...only as quickly as Sarah's subconscious is ready to... etc. etc.) I'm never going to stop performing this.

I've just arrived in Southampton (over a 550 mile drive and clicked into The Café... 'I'm buggered! LOL!!).
Thanks Amira, and Dave that's a lovely line, thankyou. Sometimes we don't NEED to lead... we can simply 'pace', and THAT for me is a lovely 'pacing line'to close with. I'll steal it of course

I cant decide if I am happy for Bob, or disappointed that so many people are going to be doing this..... and I wonder if they will now start to think I am using trickery when I do "the swan" with clients!
It is actually a lovely piece either for groups or one on one......
If you never fail, you're not trying hard enough.
