Hey guys,
Alex here. I just recently bought and received Flex 5 from Craig over at Promystic, and thought I should share my thoughts with you all, in case you were interested, or curious. I first heard about Flex 5 from Justin Lewis who was over at Mindvention, and one of the first people to get this from Craig there. He said it was awesome, and plus the price was very affordable at $50.00. I spoke to Craig about it, when he would release, etc, and a couple of days later, voila, there it was on the Promystic site, and I ordered it. It arrived in about 2 days, and I quickly opened it up, and watched both DVDs. You get 2 DVD's and a special deck of cards. What exactly is Flex 5?? Well, as Craig puts it, "Have you ever wanted to add a hypnosis demonstration during your magic or mentalism show, but were afraid to do so, because you thought you might fail." Well Craig and Michael have both created a No Fail approach, that even if the people on stage do not experience hypnosis, at the end of it, it will seem as if they did. It is called Out of Your Mind. Both Craig and Michael explain everything you need to know to go out and have the confidence to perform this, even if you have never hypnotized before. On DVD 2, one of Craig's employees was taught the system in 1 hour, and he was then told he would apply his learning during a show at Craig's house with what he just learned, and he did just that. For a first timer, I give him mad props, because even though he forgot a few things, he still did a good job and the spectators believed they were under hypnosis after the fact. This is a great utility tool to have at any given time, and you can get 7 min of solid performance from this using the No Fail method. I learned hypnosis myself from James Tripp over in the UK, in his Hypnosis Without Trance course, as well as his No Fail protocol. Basically, what I learned there, and what I learned from the Hypnosis Without Trance tie in together quite well, and compliment each other really well. This is a great product that I recommend, since it puts you into the drivers seat, and lets the magician/mentalist have the confidence to go out and perform this. All in all, this is worth the $50.00, and the first batch SOLD OUT within an hour or two of it coming out, so if you want to learn more, go to the Promystic site, and take a look at the demo. Thanks Alex Alejandro

Just got an email saying this is back in stock again - quick question for those of you that have it. I get that it's a system, but the main "effect" in the promo video seems to be having people go to sleep/in a trance (sorry if I'm using the terms wrong, I'm pretty much a newbie to hypnosis). However, the ad copy seems to focus on one effect with cards. Is the card effect related to the effect of putting people under, or is that two different things? I can't see how they would be related, but was just wondering. As I'm not really interested in the card effect(s), just learning straight hypnosis.
Thanks. |

All,
If you watch the demo video from 1:15 to 1:45 it explains it. To simplify, Flex5 is a system for learning/performing Hypnosis and 'Out of Your Mind' is a great effect you can perform to practice what you learn. You don't have to use the effect if you don't like. Thanks, -Craig

I've always assumed that hypnosis requires lots of pre-show work. Is that the case with this? And where do the deck of cards come into the routine?

This system rocks guys!! Saw Craig perform this live and was blown away!! So far all that have bought this system have given it a well deserved review!
You can't and won't go wrong with this system. Even if it's just for the education in this genre of the mystery Arts it's well worth it. Can't go wrong with something so complete for 50.00

This is not a handshake induction and yes it works in noisy rooms, we specifically cover that as part of 'incorporation'. The demo video is just like the rest and you see the higlights.
It is quite simple really, Flex5 is Hypnosis training created by Michael Swenson (seen on the video), this is how I learned hypnosis. It explains the nuts and bolts of Hypnosis so you can create your own inductions or use the one provide. I always wanted to put a hypnosis demonstration in my show without doing a full hypnosis show. I created an effect called 'Out of Your Mind'. When you learn hypnosis you need to practice. You can practice in your show, in a no fail environment on real people. The routine is entertaining and a great demonstration of your ability. I believe this is one of the first products that combines real Hypnosis training with a well structured effect that allows you to perform a 7 minute routine in your show, you usually get one or the other but I could be wrong. Now I often take it further and do other demonstrations. There is really nothing hidden here, just solid material IMHO. Best, Craig

At MindVention, Craig performed this, and a friend of mine was one of the participants. In just a few minutes, my friend was completely under. It was really amazing. The whole induction was very fast, as advertised, and fascinating to watch. The process won't bore an audience, and the demonstrations are quite dramatic. I've been waiting for this product to come out for uite some time now, and it was worth the wait.
