...Exactly

A better (but tedious) description is a momentary loss of salivation and brief inability to swallow.

An ironic presentation would be to show a picture of a lemon (and then suggest the salivation). Next show a picture of Vader (and suggest they cannot swallow). It would be humorous and enlightening. All truth, no lies and intrigue.

Yes.

I was the first one to create this effect many years ago and released it publically in my book 'PHATHOM' in 2012. The effect was titled 'Psycho Dysphagia'. I then released it as a digital download with Penguin Magic under the title 'Speechless', which added the addition of making someone not able to speak their name after being "choked".

Here is my original post referencing it in 2009 here on the Café: https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......74677#19

I've been considering re-releasing this with updates and a more in-depth tutorial if there is enough interest.

I believe Jay Noblezada released his version through a hypnosis podcast which coincidentally parallels my method (although slightly different in nuances and subtleties) which then was shown to Anthony Jacquin at a Hypnosis training session they put together. Anthony then was able to add his own subtleties as well.

All really great resources. On a side note, if anyone is looking to start learning Hypnosis, I highly recommend checking out Anthony's stuff. Very practical and easy to understand.
