I got the chance to watch this set at a friends house yesterday.
I found it to be a pretty comprehensive project. Spidey goes over all of the key elements that make up a stage hyp show which I found to be right on target. This is solid material that will serve as a good blue print for you to start building and practicing your show. Spidey also gives good advice on where to go to further your education on Hypnosis, which you should do. I have seen quite a few training videos out there and I think this is definitely one of the better ones. I did have a couple of minor quips here and there, but I think this is an excellent starting point if you are interested in jumping in. Oh and Spidey ... Having that guy "butt in" a few times made me want to force choke him over the tv! LOL I recommend this product, but this should only be the beginning for the serious student.

So I'm starting to get into hypnosis... read the books, etc. several people have told me that you need to be certified by a hypnosis training program to be a hypnotist... is this true? Or can I just watch Spidey's DVD, and other sources and go out and do it (assuming the DVD teaches everything I need to know). like are you required to have a certification to be a hypnotist entertainer (not clinical hypnotist)?

This is a very important and interesting read regarding practising/performing hypnosis and the law...

Thank you Prince! It's very useful. I was just looking for information like this.

No probs, the importance of this quite often gets overlooked. Or more worrying not gets looked at at all because the awareness and knowledge of this importance is not addressed enough - to cover performers. If people do get caught etc etc, then its the same old excuse from others... "its the individuals responsibility to know about it and the legal/law side" With great power, comes great responsibility

In the US it is regulated (or not) on a state-by-state basis. I know Connecticut requires a license (issued by the state of Connecticut) and there's a few others. I think 5 in total require licensing. There's a few more that specify when licensing is NOT required, and then the rest are a free-for-all.
You can generally find this information through the National Guild of Hypnotists, or more simply by Googling "Hypnosis law for *state*"

I'm in Texas, I googled around a lot and found laws restricting hypnotherapy, but I couldn't find anything regarding Hypnosis for entertainment. Does anyone know anything about that?

This DVD set looks amazing! A stage hypnotist came to my school once and I would love to be able to do this.

I find it very odd that this is being discussed here rather than where it should be which is in the Hypnosis section of the Café where you would actually get thoughts and insights from real working stage hypnotists.
As Ray Thompson well pointed out (A very skilled hypnotist), stage hypnosis is both a science and an art. It is NOT a magic trick or effect you can learn and toss in your act. The only thing worse than a bad or unskilled, improperly trained hypnotist, is magician that is pretending to be a hypnotist or pseudo hypnotist. With hypnosis there are serious safety and health concerns that should be realized and understood BEFORE even beginning to start playing with someones mind and abilities. There are two elements that must be presented at the same time - the actual understanding and application - all facets from pre-talk and conditioning to post hypnotic suggestions and how to properly remove or bring someone out of the state. There is a right way and many wrong ways. Then there is the art of performing with hypnosis. It's not just something you quickly learn and "add to your" magic show. Let's be real here. Ask yourself are you looking for a quick shortcut to look like you are doing hypnosis or are you serious about becoming a skilled and trained hypnotist? I too questions much or the hype in the promotion of hypnosis products and have reviewed many of these such releases from Valley, Ronning, Nongard, Johns, Jacquin and most others. I am an original student of Ormond's and have also toured nationally each year for over 25 years. I would think teh best feedback would come from your peers or those with experience rather than unskilled (in hypnosis) magicians. I always tell my coaching students this, first and foremost, be careful who and what you're listening to. That is the first step in learning and education. To BSpideyA, I would ask the same question. Why are you not promoting this is in the proper section with more skilled and educated members and that can offer educated insights and perceptions? |

One because this is a new release DVD so technically it would be correct in a latest and greatest section, and 2 because this is the most popular section to make awareness of the new release.
So from a business pov then he did right by posting here, from a moral side then yes in a way I can see what you mean. But I feel it's justified to have been posted here as a preference to another section |

I didn't start this thread. Nor am I promoting anything. I just came on here to answer some questions.

You know the ironic thing BSpidey, is that you cant do right for wrong. If you had not been so helpful answering questions when people are directly aiming at you for a response, than that would be wrong as you are not active, helpful etc.

Alright back on topic
I bought this from a Murphys dealer a couple days ago. What you get: 2 DVDs The ad copy is pretty accurate, as you do get the skills and techniques needed to write your own show and perform, but it's not really impromptu Pros: - He walks you over each step, from pre-show to the actual induction -the teaching is easy to understand -Chris walks in a lot lmao -you are not limited to stage shows, small parties or parlor is also possible Cons: I can't think of any right now Overall: 9/10 I gave it a 9 because again, it's not really impromptu |
