It’s didn’t really surprise me as Rapid and Instant Inductions are one of the most powerful tools a Hypnotist can know. They look cool, work fast and get your clients to the necessary level we want to work with them at which is Somnambulism. Since this is one of the most requested topics I plan on doing a series of post on these types of hypnosis inductions. I’ve already began working on a couple, but I’m currently working on a few projects outside of the hypnosis business which are eating up all my time.

So in the meantime while I’m working to clear up my schedule I thought I would post a really amazing video from my friend and fellow Hypnotist, Taylor Sherman. A few years ago Taylor and I released a Instant and Rapid Induction Home Study Course called Tranced Out.  We only offered Tranced Out for a limited time for a number of reasons and within one week we completely sold out. I’m pretty sure most of you remember when Taylor and I did the launch for Tranced Out because we posted some really great content.

One of the pieces of content we posted on the Product Launch Blog for Tranced Out was an amazing video by Taylor where he breaks down the The Physiology Behind Instant Inductions.

If you ever wondered why the rapid or instant Hypnosis Induction works the way they work then this post is for you. Now I’m aware some of you may have seen this video, but over the years I’ve got a lot more readers who haven’t seen the video. I think this video could be helpful for those and even those who may have seen it a while back, but have forgotten for whatever reason.

I’ve got to run, but I’ll be back soon with a number of new post and material. Just bear with me as I get caught up with work. Oh, before I go please make sure you check out Taylor’s official hypnosis website below.

If you’re truly serious about learning to master these Instant and Rapid Inductions I highly recommend you seek out either a live training event or a well produced Training DVD. It is possible to learn these techniques without formal training, but you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble by going the route I recommend.

Out of all the training DVDs I have the best by far is Sean Michael Andrews Instant and Rapid Induction Second Edition DVD Set. I personally own this and have learn a lot from it. Sean is a good friend, but also an amazing teacher. So if you do decide to go the formal training route you won’t go wrong with this investment. All you have to do is click the link below to be taken to Sean official website for this training product.

Sean Michael Andrews Instant and Rapid Inductions
Second Edition:
http://www.worldsfastesthypnotist.com/newI&R_jh.html

Isn’t it odd how time just passes by? It’s been a little over 2 years since Sean Michael Andrews came onto the scene with his first 2 disc DVD project titled Instant and Rapid Inductions.

This was one of the first projects released within a decade that actually took the subject of Instant and Rapid Inductions and broke them down into a step by step process in a classroom setting.

If you’ve been a reader of my Hypnosis blog for sometime you know I actually reviewed Sean’s first DVD when it was released. I’ve seen a lot of different trainings and as far as content went it was one of the best I’ve seen on the subject of Instant and Rapid Inductions. I still, to this day recommend it as a great resource for anyone interested in learning hypnosis.

Now as much as I liked the content you also know I put everything on the table. While the content of Sean’s first DVD was great the production quality wasn’t that good. The sound wasn’t very clear and went out at times as well as lackluster video editing. Still, for Sean Michael Andrews first time out the game I thought it was a pretty decent undertaking and in many ways that released helped to take Sean from being the Street Hypnotist everyone on Youtube was talking about to being an international known hypnotist and trainer.

Sean Michael Andrews Is Back For Round 2 With His Newest Release

After 2 and half years and 6 DVD projects later Sean Michael Andrews is back with a brand new project called Instant and Rapid Inductions Second Edition.

Yup, Sean has taken it back to the beginning, back to the DVD that helped launched his career and decided to upgrade his popular Instant and Rapid Induction Training DVD. Now, let me be upfront and hopefully clear something up for all of you reading. When I say an update I really mean more like….Sean Michael Andrew started over from scratch and rebuilding this project from the foundation up. In reality…..this is a completely new training program, not just an upgrade.

I wanted to clear that up because as I’m sure you know when people usually create a second edition or a 2.0 program they usually keep the main program, but just add a few extra clips or scenes or maybe just add a special bonus or two. This is how most product creators handle product upgrades no matter what the industry or profession. Lucky for us this isn’t the case with Sean’s Instant and Rapid Inductions Second Edition project.

Exactly What Is Instant and Rapid Inductions Second Edition?

This program contains completely new material which comes from a variety of settings such as classroom, office and street. So you not only get to see Sean perform all his inductions and techniques within a classroom setting, but you also get to see him put them to work on the streets and his office. The first project from Sean was filmed entirely in a classroom so you only got to see Sean at work within that setting, but not the second edition.

If you’re into street hypnosis then your going to love this project as it features tons of examples performed live in the streets. If your into more of the traditional office approach Sean also has tons of examples and he also has tons of classroom examples too. In addition, Sean also provides step by step instructions within the different environments as well. So you can see how his approach changes for the different settings. Another big change from his original program is that the second edition is three DVDs instead of two. So your going to get a lot more content and the training won’t feel as rushed as it done with the first edition.

As I mentioned above Sean decided to keep this version much more open and free. It also includes clips from varies locations around the United States and Canada. Wow! Sean has come a long way since his little classroom project. I guess we can now say Sean is an international man of mystery (okay, bad joke!)  I guess being a funny man isn’t in my future lol.

You Feel Like Your Getting A Much More Rounded Training

Before I start breaking down the actually product and getting to the meat of this review I feel I have to mention that this hypnosis training feels much more rounded then the first project done by Sean. When you watch the Second Edition you feel like your getting more of a complete training course.

In the past it felt as if it was just a one day class. This isn’t the case with Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition. Sean has become a much better teacher from those days and there is a lot more content to consume. Sean also spends more time with the step by step approach which helps to make this project feel as if it’s a weekend course. I still recommend you pick up the first DVD if possible, but if you haven’t I know for fact that you’ll be able to perform an Instant or Rapid Induction by the time you complete this program. (Keep in mind you have to actually watch it so no shortcuts okay?)

Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition Production

As most of my readers know when I do a review I like to be through. I can’t stand when people just say a course is good so buy it. If I’m going to spend my hard earned money on something I like to know it’s worth that money. So I always like to talk about the production and design quality in addition to the content the training covers. I know some of you could care less about the production value, but a lot of people do care about this and I’m one of them.

If you bought the first edition of Sean’s training DVD you know that the production on the first project wasn’t very good. It suffered from bad camera work, bad audio and pretty much no editing. The content was great, but the production quality wasn’t that good. I’m not picking on Sean because if the truth be told the majority of hypnosis products have bad video and bad editing.

There Is No Failure, Only Feedback

What I love about Sean is that he never just settles. He is always looking to improve and make every new project better. If you’ve been following his other projects such Amazing Inductions, Inducing The Trance, Deepening The Trance and others you know that the production has got better and better.  I remember talking with Sean a few months ago and he told me something I’ve been telling people for years. If your not good at something then find someone who is and then do only the stuff your great at. This is great advice and Sean put his advice to work for him when he connected with and hired Dale Gardner.

I won’t go into Dale’s background, but the guy is a genius when it comes to production, editing and directing. He has done stuff for VH1, MTV and other credible television and movie projects. The moment he started working with Sean you saw an immediate improvement in quality, sound and design. They have got better with each project, but how is the second edition?

Instant and Rapid Inductions Second Edition may be Dale’s best work yet. The DVDs have a professional menu which just blows you away when you insert it into your DVD player. I swear it almost looks like something you would see with 3d glasses. Once you click play an amazing intro begins that far surpasses anything done on previous projects. Dale makes Sean look like a rock star in this brand new intro.

If you click the video below you can check out the intro for yourself and see the type of work Dale does for Sean.

Overall the video quality is amazing and even the clips when Sean is doing street hypnosis look crystal clear. The sound is great and you can make out everything Sean is saying even when he’s in the middle of a busy crowd or class. In my opinion this is some of his best work yet. Even the cover art is a improvement for Sean as it really illustrates what the DVDs are all about, Instant and Rapid Inductions. If your someone who enjoys good content and good production value you won’t be let down. Now that I got all of that out of the way let’s move on and see what’s awaiting for you in disc 1….

Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition Disc 1:

As with previous projects by Sean each disc covers a number of different subjects. All of them which are needed to master instant and rapid inductions. Sean starts this disc by giving a nice overview of what instant and rapid inductions are, why you need to know them, how to use them and why 90 percent of hypnotists are scared to use them.

Sean makes it very clear from the beginning of this disc that his goal isn’t to have you become a carbon copy of him, but to be able to perform these inductions so well that you’ll able to create your own. Sean also goes into detail why Progressive Muscle Relaxation Inductions are just not enough.

Here’s a breakdown of the different subjects Sean Teaches in the first DVD.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that I can’t cover every single thing on the three DVDs. There will be material covered on the DVDs not listed in this review.

The Pre-Talk:

In this section Sean goes into detail about the pre-talk and the important of it when doing hypnosis in general and when doing instant and rapid inductions. Sean actually says something in this disc that caught me off guard and which I don’t agree completely with, but I can see why he does it. Sean doesn’t use the pre-talk to educate the person about hypnosis, but to get them to let you hypnotize them. An interesting statement that could be debated, but Sean does make some interesting points.

In addition, Sean shows you a number of different examples of him performing the pre-talk in different settings and even gives you his exact pre-talk word for word. Sean also covers topics such as working with men and women and how to adjust your approach to fit each one of the sexes as well as the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your clients. (I’m not talking about the Bill of Rights either.)

Suggestibility Tests:

After Sean talks about the pre-talk he goes right into talking about different suggestibility test and how they are to be used properly. As Sean says it’s not a test to determine suggestibility, but how well they use their imagination. (Nice language which I may have to steal.) Once again you get tons of examples of Sean in different settings doing a number of different test such as the Arms rising and failing, the spiegel eye roll test, hand clasp, magnetic fingers and more.

Hand Drop Induction:

This is the induction you’ve seen Sean perform on countless Youtube videos as well as other successful Hypnotists such as Tom Nicoli and Cal Banyan.  Sean teaches you how to do it step by step and provides you all the tips you need to succeed. This section is also where you’ll learn why they work and how to create an instant induction using the flight or fight system and how to spot your window of opportunity.

If you never knew how to do this induction you’ll know exactly how. You’ll learn where to place your hands, special wording, troubleshooting and safety tips to make sure no one is ever hurt. The one thing I enjoyed the most about this part is that Sean talks about something that I teach which is outcome. Yeah it’s cool that you can do these inductions, but you need to know your outcome before you even begin. Intent and Outcome are so important and Sean explains why.

Ambiguous Touch (Milton Erickson’s Handshake Induction):

If your a fan of Milton Erickson then you’ll love this induction. This is the famous handshake induction used by Milton Erickson which made people scared to shake his hand. Sean demonstrates it step by step with a number of different up close angles. You’ll discover where to place your fingers and what to do when it goes wrong, if it does. Sean actually includes a video clip of a client he couldn’t get the Ambiguous touch to work.  See….if big time Hypnotists like Sean mess up

Distraction Filter:

The distraction Filter isn’t an actually induction. It’s a technique to use when working with a client so you can work with that client without them being disturbed by outside influences. Now you may think you know this technique as I taught something similar on my blog, but this goes much further then just noise. Sean uses this for sensation, sound, feelings and more.

Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition Disc 2:

Arm Pull Induction:

This is the other instant induction you’ve seen Sean perform time after time on Youtube videos. As with all the other inductions taught on this DVD you’ll learn step by step how to do it. You’ll see tons and tons of examples of it being performed with different angles. You’ll see every little thing Sean is doing so don’t worry about pausing the DVD.

If you can’t do this induction after Sean breaks it down you don’t need to be hypnotizing anyone. Sorry, but I call it like I see it.

Head Roll Deepener:

You’ll finally look why Sean is always rotating the head of people when he does an induction. The purpose, why it’s done, how it should be done and a number of other deepening techniques are included. This is a pretty in-depth section and Sean covers the finer points as well such as when you should do them, how long, exactly at what point and the ones he personally uses.

Elman Rapid Induction:

Yes, the famous Dave Elman Induction (my favorite). Sean and I are in completely agreement as he also says this is the most powerful rapid induction ever created. You’ll learn why this induction is so powerful and get to see Sean perform in about 4 minutes from start to finish without ever rushing it.

You’ll learn how to study it and the properly way to perform it. Btw, if you’ve been reading it from start to finish your not doing it right. This induction should really be taught in phases and Sean does exactly that. He demo’s each section over and over again going over every little detail. You may, at times get annoyed at how much detail Sean does goes into, but take it for what it’s worth…gold. Its better to go over every detail and get it right then to skip a detail and get it wrong.

You’ll also learn how to troubleshoot the part of the Elman induction that gives most people the biggest amount of trouble…losing the numbers. You’ll learn how to get them to lose the numbers 99 percent of the time and how to transform this induction into an instant induction when needed. You’ll also learn the points of failure so you know how to recognize them and avoid them. In reality this could be an entire course on the Elman induction, but it’s included within this disc. In addition, Sean also goes over information such as hypnotic Amnesia, the use of fractionization and more.

Finger Snap Induction:

This is one of my favorite inductions because it’s so simple and looks so cool that most people would swear its fake. You’ll learn how to do it and once again tons of examples are given within office, class and street settings. I can’t say this enough. Tons and tons of examples are throughout all the DVDs.

Hand Shake Interrupt:

This is one of my favorites as well and if your a fan of Derren Brown you may have seen him use this induction on TV many times. This isn’t the Erickson handshake, but the one made famous by Richard Bandler. You’ll learn how it works, step by step. You’ll see Sean do this step by step and how it even works when the person knows to expect it.

Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition Disc 3:

In the final DVD Sean teaches you the stuff you need to know to keep your clients safe as well as information you just need to know if your going to be hypnotizing people in general.

This is a very important to section to watch and please don’t skip it. You’ll learn how to do these inductions safely without bringing harm to your client or yourself. You’ll learn why you should never do falling backward inductions and also get Sean’s personal checklist for safety.

You’ll learn about Unrestricted catalepsy, inappropriate suggestions, false memories and how to remove suggestions properly. You’ll learn what to do when someone doesn’t emerge from hypnosis and how to tell the difference between them being in the Coma State and them just enjoying the feeling of being hypnotized.

In addition, Sean will also go over Negative and Positive Hallucinations, Deepening Techniques, the different signs of Trance and a number of different challenge test. As a bonus you’ll also get to see Sean perform tons of different hypnotic phenomena in the three different settings as well.

Instant & Rapid Inductions Second Edition Review Conclusion

I know this has been a long review, but as you know I like to make sure you get all the details and facts. Now the big question is do you need this training if you own the first one and the answer is yes. Sean gave you a lot of great stuff on the first one and even some stuff on it that he doesn’t cover on the second one, but the new project is more complete. You can tell Sean has improved his teaching style. You get a lot more information in this round and Sean answers many of the questions left unanswered in the first volume in this new one.

You get multiple camera angles, in depth details and tons and tons and tons of examples. Yes, there is no hiding it I am a fan of Sean’s training. I’ve followed him for a really long time and I must admit I wouldn’t be the Hypnotist I am today without Sean’s help. This 3 DVD set is straight to the point and follows through on the promise Sean makes at the beginning. After watching these three DVDs you should have no problem creating and preforming your own instant and rapid inductions. So if you want a tool for your hypnotic toolbox that can stay with you forever then this is a great investment.

As many of you know I get tons of questions each days about Hypnosis.  These questions range from beginners to Hypnotists who have been practicing for years. Out of all the questions I receive the question I get asked more then any other one is how to do instant inductions.

You would think I would get asked how to work with certain problems or how to even hypnotize someone, but nope. The big question I get from newbies and professionals more than any other question is how to perform instant and rapid inductions. I can’t blame the people who ask this question as Instant inductions are awesome and a very powerful tool for every Hypnotist to process. Having the ability to hypnotize someone within seconds can come in really handle. Especially when dealing with clients who like to “think to much”.

Well, a good friend of mine named Blake Thomas recently interviewed Hypnotist Jeffrey Stephens about the subject of Instant Inductions and I thought I would share it with all of you. The interview is really good and covers a lot of information on performing quick inductions.

For those of you who don’t know Jeffrey Stephens I’m quite surprised. I recommend Jeffrey products to every Hypnotist I know as he has some really great insights and techniques. He has one of the better online hypnosis trainings which I personally feel can add value in some form to any Hypnotist.  You can click the following link to  read an in-depth review of Jeffrey Stephens Online Hypnosis Video Course.

A few days ago I mentioned to my readers that I received a special package from Sean Michael Andrews for his brand new DVD training course, Best Practices of Dave Elman. Usually when Sean sends me a complimentary review package it’s for one disc, maybe two tops, but Best Practices of Dave Elman is 4 DVDs which is the biggest course Sean has created yet!

Click Here To Visit The Official Best Practices of Dave Elman Website

Best Practices of Dave Elman is basically a collection of Dave Elman’s best teachings presented by Sean Michael Andrews and with insight provided by the the son of Dave Elman, Colonel Larry Elman.

If you’ve been a reader of this Hypnosis blog you know I’m a huge fan of Dave Elman and most of my training and expertise is based off his direct style of Hypnosis. Even though Dave is no longer with us he has left a mark on the hypnosis world that will never be filled.

After opening the package from Sean I was little overwhelmed. The last few weeks I’ve been sick as a dog from food poisoning so I didn’t even know if I would be able to get this review completed by the time I wanted it to be ready. My personal deadline I set for myself is tomorrow which is Sept 22 and I’m currently staying up all night to write this review. Yes, I could just schedule another deadline, but I find having deadlines set in stone keeps me on my toes and makes sure I get work done.

So with all of that being said let’s take a deeper look into Sean Michael Andrews & Colonel Larry Elman’s newest training, Best Practices of Dave Elman 4 DVD set.

“Hypnotherapy” Is Reborn

One of my most favorite books in the whole world of Hypnosis is Dave Elman’s book titled, Hypnotherapy. This book isn’t new and was written many years ago. Still, it’s one of the best books on Hypnosis and provides tons of useful material. The problem is that the material is really dated and it can be hard to find a copy of this book for a decent price. The other problem is that this book provides tons and tons of techniques, but you have to be able to convert it from text which can be a problem for some people.

Well, this problem has finally been solved with the released of Best Practices of Dave Elman as it’s like the book Hypnotherapy on DVD! I still recommend you read the book, but this set of DVDs allows a whole new generation to be exposed to the teachings and of this amazing Hypnotist. You get to see all of the best teachings of Dave Elman performed live and with unique insights being provided by Larry Elman which make you feel like your in a time machine, in a training class with Dave Elman himself.

Dave Elman Best Practices Volume 1

Each volume  in the Best Practices of Dave Elman course covers a different range of material and topics taught by Dave Elman. The first volume starts with a really cool interview with Sean and Larry Elman and  moves right into the first topic covered on Volume One of Best Practices of Dave Elman which is…

Child Hypnosis

Hypnosis for Children has always been a fun topic for me because Children are just so easy to hypnotize and make the perfect client. Why are children so easy to hypnotize? Well, it’s because they haven’t begun to form their critical faulty yet. This means that whatever suggestions you give them are easily accepted and regarded as truth by them. Unlike adults who have many years of life and experiences to hinder them children are pretty much a clean slate.

In this part of the DVD Sean goes into a in depth discussion about Children and why they make great subjects. He breaks everything down and gives detailed instructions for how to induce hypnosis easily within a child and how to actually begin the change work. While there weren’t any children in the live event Sean demonstrates the techniques Dave Elman used when working with children on the members of the audience.

Larry Elman provides some AWESOME insights about his father and how some of these techniques were created and why his Father did things the way he did. This stuff is gold in my opinion because you won’t find it in any book as this is from personal talks he had with his dad, Dave Elman. Sean even demonstrates a technique I’ve never seen before for working with children who are a little resistant. This technique also shows you why he has the name, The World’s Fastest Hypnotist.

Larry Elman & Sean Michael Andrews teach the class some of the best techniques from Dave Elman

Signs of Hypnosis

In this section Sean goes over many of the different signs Dave Elman used to look for to see if a person was entering Hypnosis. Dave used a much more simpler scale than many of use today, but it works well. Personally I think that his signs of Hypnosis will make you a better Hypnotist because they are things you really have to pay attention to more than some of the signs we use today. This allows us to pay better attention to what’s going on with our clients.

Semantics of Suggestion

This section discusses the semantics of suggestions and how you have to choose your words very careful. Sean and Larry talk a little bit about Pain Control in this section, but they use it more as a talking point to illustrate what can go wrong when you don’t watch your words. Remember, we are in a profession where our words can make the difference between a client getting better, staying the same or even getting worst. Your learn the words you should always avoid and hear a story from Larry Elman about the negatives of not watching what you say around someone.

Waking Hypnosis

This section isn’t really long, but goes into the topic of Waking Hypnosis and how it can be applied for your clients benefit. There are a few nice points in this section that go beyond the whole, you can be hypnotized with your eyes wide open. You’ll learn how to use waking hypnosis when normal hypnosis doesn’t work and when to avoid the use of waking hypnosis for legal purposes. I would have liked to see a few demo’s of this in action, but for the most part solid information.

The Dave Elman Induction

Sean eventually goes into the subject of The Dave Elman Induction which as you know is one of the most powerful rapid inductions ever created. I use this induction more than any other induction because it works very well and has a lot of different test built in which allows me to know exactly where my client is in terms of trance.

A lot of people think they know how to perform this induction, but the moment something goes wrong they have no idea on how to  troubleshoot it. This section is excellent as Sean demos the induction multiple times and provides some really great success tips. Some of this may be familiar to those who have downloaded my free Induction Blueprint report, but you’ll pick up some nice tips if you watch carefully.

You’ll even get some bonus material such as how to get implied permission, Sean’s distraction Filter Pattern and more. You’ll also get some more insight into this induction from Larry Elman.

Reviewing The Parts

In this section Sean Michael Andrews takes the Elman Induction even further and breaks it down into multiple steps. Instead of learning the Dave Elman Induction as ONE BIG INDUCTION you’ll learn it in steps and processes as it was meant to be taught. I promise that if you learn the different processes in this induction that you’ll success rate will skyrocket. The stuff Sean teaches in this part is one of the reasons why I get such great success rates.

The Dave Elman Induction is a piece of art and it’s important to know how to handle art. The adding of words or taking words away from the induction can actually hurt your success rate. Sean and Larry will teach it the way his father taught it. No filler and no fluff.

In addition to learning about the Elman Induction Sean also shares his really cool 47 pre-talk! Yep! 47 seconds which is one of the fastest I’ve seen. My pre-talk typically takes 10 to 15 minutes in an office setting. So I learned something new here. You’ll learn about one of the most common mistakes people make which is thinking they have real somnambulism when in reality they only have artificial somnambulism.  You’ll also get some interesting insights as Larry and Sean give feedback to class members who are performing the induction during the class.

So you’ll get to see different styles of this induction performed and how it can be improved. This is a really great teaching section and make sure to take a lot of notes here.

Best Practices of Dave Elman Volume Two

As with the previous DVD all of them start with a small interview between Sean and Larry which help to set the tone for the rest of the DVD.  In this DVD Sean covers a very unethical practices that is starting to be seen again within our profession called the Hypnotic Seal.

The Seal is when a Hypnotists makes it where the client can’t be hypnotized by anyone else. It’s a really unethical practice and it hasn’t been seen in years, but it’s making a comeback. Very sad

In this section Sean actually performs a Hypnotic Seal on someone in the class so he can teach the other students how to spot a seal and the different techniques to break it. Yes, the hypnotic seal can be broken with ease, but you have to know how to spot it. Sean get’s the point across in a creative way in this section, but I won’t spoil it for you.

Deepening The Trance

As the title suggest Sean demo’s a number of different deepeners used by Dave Elman. I have to admit that seeing all of Dave’s techniques in person make a huge difference. When reading a few of them I have to admit that I dismissed them for one reason or another. More than likely I was having trouble seeing the technique in my head since all the techniques in were in text format.

Yet, to see the technique performed live I really liked it and think I’m going to add it to my toolbox. Sean doesn’t go into the level of depth he goes into on his Deepening the trance DVD, but remember that this DVD is only teaching material Dave Elman taught.

Suggestions

In this section Larry and Sean talk about suggestion formation. A few little nuggets in this section, but a lot of this was material I already knew. The one great feature about this section thought was the insight from Larry Elman. Even though Sean does most of the teaching Larry steals the show with his insights and advice. Maybe it’s because I’m a history buff, but I really enjoy hearing Larry dive deep into the mind of his father. Throughout all the DVDs Larry will pop in with his thoughts and personal insights from his father. When he talks you need to listen as you’ll learning something most people will never know since it’s not in written format anyone else.

Hypnosis For Pain

Sean teaches the class how to work with pain

This was discusses a little bit in Volume one, but Sean and Larry take it a little further in this section.

Our two instructors discuss Dave Elman’s view on pain control  and we learn how some of his techniques for pain control were created from some of his Stage Hypnosis techniques. You get to see some demo’s of pain control techniques being performed and Sean also goes into a small talk about the need for pain and how to avoid getting into trouble with the law on this subject.

You’ll also see Don work with someone for a small headache and when something doesn’t go as planned you’ll discover how to handle it.

I don’t think Sean planned it to go down this way, but it was nice to see something not go perfect so we can learn from it.

20 Second Headache cure

Okay, this section is just plain cool! Sean demonstrates a technique he learned from someone else, but it’s one I’ve never seen before, but I want to learn it. It’s a technique to get rid of a headache in just 20 seconds. Seriously, 20 seconds! I should give you a warning that Sean goes through this technique very fast so you may have to rewind a few times to get the entire script. Since Sean doesn’t own this technique I’m guessing this is why he doesn’t teach it in detail. As I mentioned my only problem is that it’s done so fast it’s hard to pick up, but Sean does give you the details of where to learn it. Awesome stuff though and if you can learn it I know it’s going to be a great tool for you.

Auto Suggestion

This section is pretty basic for the most part, but has a few nice gems. You get to see Sean use Re-inductions with a member of the class and how to do the hypnotic stare.

Confirmation – Elman Success with Pain

This section goes into detail about the different successes Dave Elman has working with Pain reduction. Once again, you get some more insight into the mind of someone who is going through massive amounts of pain and how Hypnosis can help them. This section is more of a discussion on how hypnotic pain control techniques can help someone who has a lot of pain. A nice discussion and few good gems here, but this section isn’t one where you’ll learn any specific techniques. Still, the insights from Larry and Sean are nice additions close this DVD out pretty good in my opinion.

Best Practices of Dave Elman Volume Three

Out of all the volumes in Best Practices of Dave Elman series I would have to say that this is my favorite one because I’m a huge believer in the use of Regression Hypnotherapy. Obviously I recommend you don’t do Hypnosis Regression work unless you have been properly trained because you can mess someone up if you don’t know what your doing.

Regression & Hypnoanalysis

This volume goes into really great detail about the subject of Regression. Sean starts by giving a warning to the class that you have to be careful using this technique, but don’t let that scare  you from learning it. You’ll learn the proper way to ask questions to a client without misleading them and also learn how to stay objective as that’s the key to becoming really good at this work. You’ll learn how to perform a regression using a few different techniques such as directed regression, non directed regression, hall of records and more.

Sean will also show you how to avoid some of the most common mistakes such as how to find the real root cause and not just some secondary cause. So if you’ve ever been interested in regression this is a really good section.

HypnoAnalysis

For those of you who like to see actual techniques performed than this is the section for you. Sean actually gets a member of the audience to undergo Regression Hypnotherapy for a fear or rejection. You’ll see Sean work with the student from start to finish and I promise you’ll be really focused on this part. It’s just interested to see a regression done and to see how Sean takes her back to different points in her life to find the root cause of the problem.

Sean Michael Andrews uses Regression Hypnotherapy

Sean actually runs into a few problems with the client which are great for teaching purposes, but Sean remains steady and keeps going until he gets to the root cause of the problem which is going to be something you might not expect. This is a great teaching section which should produce a ton of notes for you. After seeing this you’ll want to learn how to do regression hypnosis, trust me.

Hypnotic Coma

Obviously I’m not talking about a really coma, but the coma state as known as the Esdaile State to most of us. This is a depth/level/state or trance where the client doesn’t want to respond to the operator/Hypnotist because they are in a place of complete joy. I have actually done a lot of work with the Esdaile state as it has always interested me. You don’t experience any pain while in this state which makes it perfect for operations.

You’ll learn about the history of this state, how to get it with your own clients and how to know when you have it. You’ll also learn about the different benefits this state can provide your client and most importantly how to emerge them from the Hypnotic Coma. Remember, in the coma state they don’t want to emerge because it feels so good and if you give them a suggestion to emerge, they won’t! So you need to know how to emerge them properly.

The Group Elman Induction

In the final section of this volume Sean performs a group version of the Elman Induction. The Elman can be used as a group induction and is great for stage hypnotists as well. You’ll see Sean go through the entire Induction and than Larry will chime in with some more great advice.

Best Practices of Dave Elman Bonus Disk

The final disk of the Best Practices of Dave Elman is a bonus disk which has some cool content on it such as a never seen before induction with a break down from Larry Elman as well as seeing Larry actually perform this rare induction. You’ll also get access to some cool, never seen before photos of Dave Elman.

The bonus disc starts off with a brief introduction and than goes right into Sean performing  an antique version of the famous Elman Induction which hasn’t been seen in years.

This bonus section is pretty funny because Sean is attempting to do an induction he has never done before and just can’t seem to get it right which leads Larry Elman to take the reign and perform this induction on Ian for the entire class.

You also get to hear a really cool story about why the Elman Induction became the way it is today compared to the way it was in the in the beginning.This was a real treat as were witnesses history here. I know, it may be an induction to some of you, but if you truly love this profession you should love the really rich history our profession has associated with it.

A Few Final Thoughts

It’s a rare thing when such a powerful and classic book is brought back to life for a new generation. The only remains we have of the legendary Dave Elman is his book Hypnotherapy and if your lucky, his audio tapes. Dave Elman changed our profession for the better and brought something our profession seemed to lacked for years which is credibility.

Sean Michael Andrews and Dave Elman’s son, Larry Elman have done something really amazing with this project. They have taken the essence and soul of Dave Elman and made it where it can be shared with the entire world in a completely new way.

As our profession grows we learn new techniques and discover new information about the mind, but sometimes we forgot the basics. We forget the techniques which forged the way for some of the techniques today. Hell, some of the techniques today are really nothing more than techniques created by legends such as Milton Erickson and Dave Elman, but with a twist. I review a lot of projects as it comes with the job of being a blogger, but I can say without a doubt that this has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had a while. I know, how can watching a few DVDs be rewarding? Well, I love what I do and I love understanding the mind and learning more about Hypnosis.

A Few Final Words On The Best Practices of Dave Elman

The Best Practices of Dave Elman give us unrestricted access into the mind of one of the greats. We are able to experience and appreciate his work in a whole new way with these DVDs. I think it’s an excellent set and while it’s not perfect it’s a treasure chest of information which I think every Hypnotist needs to have in their collection. I’ve been invited to a live event coming up and I’m planning to attend so I can experience what I experienced with the DVDs live.

I have to say that Sean and Larry are a great team and they should be honored for bringing Elman back into the public eye. My hat off to both of you and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for these two. I know that the students who attended this class will become better Hypnotists. It’s not because they have learned new techniques, but because they have learned why they work, how they work and now have a deeper understanding of them.

I’ve got to run, but I hoped you enjoyed this review and sorry for it being so long, but I try to do my best to provide an actual review of the product and it was 4 disc. If you want to know more about the Best Practices of Dave Elman you can click the link below.

Official Website For The Best Practices of Dave Elman

A few days ago my good friend and fellow Hypnotist, Nathan Thomas created a FREE Mini Report called:

Win Before You Begin – Frame Control In Street Hypnosis.

In the beginning this free report was only going to be sent out to his own list. You know how selfish Nathan can be some times

Discover How To Increase Your Success Rate 10 Fold With The Techniques In This Report!

So when I discovered he had the nerve to release a free report and not tell me or give me first crack at it so I could send it to my list too I became a little upset. I mean, wouldn’t you be upset if someone you thought was your friend didn’t give you access to a cool free report?

Well, you know how I tend to get so I e-mailed Nathan and we had a long “talk” about the situation. (Talk really means we came to blows)

In the end a few punches were thrown, but my quick jab won the battle. Those Kiwi’s sure put up a fight and stick together as Reg Blackwood also got involved too (keep reading to learn more about THAT situation)

Nathan agreed to let me get access to the report and as usual the members of my mailing list got access first. For those of you who haven’t joined it yet please do as you always get access to the best stuff first. My mailing list is like my VIP section in many ways.

Well, the respond to the report was really great. I got a lot of great feedback from it so I decided that after a few days of my list having access first that I would put it up on the blog so everyone can have access now.

So if you want access to the free report “Win Before You Begin – Frame Control In Street Hypnosis” all you have to do is click the link above or below. You don’t have to optin or anything. Just download, read and apply what you learn.

Click Here To Download The Free Report, Win Before You Begin – Frame Control In Street Hypnosis

I hope you enjoy the free report and make sure you put the info into action.

I Must Love Fights!

As you read above I almost got into a “little” fight with Reg Blackwood as well. I know it’s not nice, but when it comes to providing my readers with cool stuff I like to go the distance.

Well, Reg Blackwood also created a special report and ONLY gave Nathan access to it. It’s a Kiwi thing I guess and since I’m not from New Zealand I’m being left out of the loop. I thought Reg and I were cool so I e-mailed him and next thing you know we’re on Facebook going at it.!!!  See for yourself. Start with the post at the bottom and work your way up to the top.

Hypnosis Drama

As you can see from the DRAMA above Reg finally agreed to give me access to his special report and I will be providing it here on the blog…eventually.

Why not now? Well, I must give members of my mailing list access first and then once they have had it for a few days I’ll make sure I post it here so everyone can get a crack at it!

Warning: For those of you who can’t read in between the lines obviously I’m friends with Nathan and Reg and were having some fun and joking around….or are we????

Josh

Well, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last few years or so I’m pretty sure  you’ve heard of KC Johnson. If nothing comes to your mind when I mention that name then maybe you’ll remember him by his Super Hero Youtube secret identity, KC2XL. (I’m just kidding…KC isn’t a super hero…..is he?)

KC Johnson is one of the rising stars of our profession and just a really cool, down to earth guy. I first ran across KC about two years or so ago while looking for some Youtube videos on Instant and Rapid Inductions. After clicking and watching a bunch of really sub-par videos on the subject I came across a video from KC Johnson.

Learn How To Do The “EXACT” Same Hypnosis Inductions KC does In His Youtube Videos!

The moment I started watching the video I was hooked. I felt I was watching an actual Hypnosis training product the way KC produced and edited his videos. He was very professional and his instructions and explanations were simple and concise. Even the description of his videos read like a Hypnosis training manual by giving you more insight into what was going on in the video and the different hypnotic processes KC was using with his volunteers in the videos. It was just refreshing to see someone take a Youtube video so serious and actually provide a lot of useful value.

Patience Is A Virtue

Now, let’s skip forward a couple of months. Over time KC kept releasing more and more videos and his online popularity on Youtube kept growing. KC isn’t new to hypnosis by any means as he runs a very successful offline practice called Paradox Hypnosis, but his online presence was really building some momentum. He was also becoming well known for his use of Instant  Hypnosis Inductions within his videos.

KC was receiving comment after comment from people asking him to teach them how he does his inductions or if he would consider making a DVD on the subject. As an avid learning and fan myself I also asked KC that same question one day on the phone and his response was usually the same which was that it would be something he would have to think about.

See, you need to understand something about KC. This guy cares so much about our profession and holds himself to such a high degree of credibility and professionalism that he just didn’t want to rush into it and create some sub-par product. Can you blame him? There are just too many of these types of products out there in the hypnosis marketplace.

KC is  a very big proponent of students attending live training as you can get hands on practice, instructions and guidance from a qualified instructor which is something you just can’t get with some DVD courses nowadays. So If KC was going to create a product he was going to have to figure out a way to bring that same guidance, quality and level of training to a DVD project and that’s not as easy as you would think. (Trust me, I know) So until he could figure out how that was going to happen, a project from him wasn’t going to happen.

Well, month after month of waiting and I guess the time is finally right as KC has recently released his first Hypnosis Training project and I must say it’s one of the best DVD projects I’ve seen in a very long time. All of the waiting we had to do for a product from KC is well worth it as you can tell the moment you pop this DVD in that KC didn’t make some quick fly by night product.

So it’s truly an honor and pleasure for me to be one of the first people in the world to review KC Johnson’s first project. Instant and Rapid Inductions 2 Disc Set: Including An Overview Of The Fundamentals of Hypnosis

Not Another Instant and Rapid Inductions DVD…

I know, you’re thinking not another damn DVD on the subject of Instant and Rapid Inductions. Doesn’t the Hypnosis world have enough projects out in the marketplace from people such as Richard Nongard, Jerry Kein, Sean Michael Andrews and yes, even me.

So do we really need another project on this subject? Well, obvious the answer is yes because this subject is still one of the most requested topics in the world of Hypnosis. You wouldn’t believe the amount of e-mails I receive on this subject alone. So if people are asking and waiting to know even with all of these great resources out there then that tells us people feel they need to know more or maybe have it explained in a different way.

Now, before I continue let me say that KC has done something very different with this project and I’m not talking about a nice looking cover. This is literally the first Instant and Rapid Induction DVD I have ever come across that doesn’t even teach you about instant and rapid inductions till almost 30 min into the second disc. This is not a traditional Instant and Rapid Inductions product by any means…and personally I think that’s a good thing.

Now, before we continue I feel I must give the production of this DVD its own section as it’s the production that sets the stage for this great DVD…

The Production On This DVD Is Game Changing

Let’s be honest, In terms of production quality hypnosis products haven’t had a great history of success. For the most part the majority of hypnosis training videos are outdated and many of them filmed with low quality camcorders. Don’t get me wrong as I believe it’s not always about the quality of the video, but the quality of the content, but it’s nice to have a product whose production quality can match its content.

The production of a project can help define its place in the market and is critical for branding. Luckily things seem to be changing with the hypnosis world as within the last year or so I’ve seen a small surge of really amazing production being pumped out by Hypnotists such as Richard Nongard, Sean Michael Andrews, Igor Ledochowski and a few others who’s name I forget at the moment. These have been the leaders of the pack in so many words…until now. KC’s new product is by far the best product I’ve seen to date in terms of production quality and overall direction. (Sorry Sean, Richard & Igor. I still love you guys though)

It’s a good thing in my opinion as this should start to make others step up their game which can only equal better stuff down the road.

KC hired an actual production company to film, produce and direct this product and it shows from the moment you pop the first DVD in. The quality is high definition at best and the special effects are really great. Yes, he has special effects. There is one part where KC is talking about the different parts of the mind in hypnosis and splits into 3 different people to illustrate some different points. I know I’m not doing it justice so you’ll have to see it for yourself.

Here is a screen shot from the DVD so I can give you an idea of what I’m talking about. You’ll have to watch the DVDs to understand why KC has split himself into 3 different parts, but you will find a clue within the screen shot.

KC uses special effects to illustrate certain points and enhance the learning process.

There are also parts where KC is performing a technique and another KC will pop onto the screen in a different box and describe what he is doing step by step and a lot more. These effects are really cool, but they also serve a purpose as this project uses a lot of visual effects to get his point across and accelerate the learning process. Here is another screen shot to illustrate what I’m talking about so you can get a better picture.

KC will pop up from time to time and provide useful information in the middle of performing a technique.

Something else I enjoyed and those of you who are note takers will too is that KC uses a lot of text on screen during teaching. A nice combination of visual and auditory learning going on. The cool part though is that he leaves this text on the screen for a good amount of time which allows you to take notes without having to pause or rewind. It’s a small feature, but a nice one in my opinion. The DVD is similar to a book in many ways as KC structures the context like a book would by providing you a bullet point list and then going over each bullet point in more detail.

Another nice production feature is KC uses tons of visual examples to get his points across and teach the subject. This makes assimilating the information easy and fun as the visual aids help you to understand the information being presented.  My hats off to his production team as they have really put together a master piece in terms of taking a hypnosis product to the next level. You have to see it to truly understand what I’m talking about here.

Below is just another example of one of the many visual aids KC uses to get his points across.

KC uses a wide number of visual examples to enhance the learning process.

Let’s Explore The Secrets of DVD 1

As I mentioned early in the review this project contains 2 DVDs with each one covering a wide array of topics. I also mentioned that KC really doesn’t touch on the subject of Instant and Rapid Inductions until the second disc, but there is an excellent reason why he is doing it this way.

Let me explain. Instant and Rapid Inductions are considered to be advanced techniques in this business. They are not hard to do once you understand how they work and in some cases a person can actually just copy what they see someone do and perform them, but usually with a very low success rate because they don’t understand many of the finer elements going on in the background, But still my point is these techniques aren’t hard if you understand some basic fundamentals about hypnosis.

I’m constantly telling people that the induction really is not you need to learn. It’s all the elements and processes that go on before the induction that allow for the induction to happen. Once this principal is understood then anything can become an induction. As most of you know, if you have ever seen an Instant and Rapid Induction training video, the presenter usually assumes that if you’re watching the DVD that you have a basic or advanced understanding of Hypnosis. They just assume this and so they don’t actually cover any fundamentals.

Hypnosis 101 – Always Start With A Strong Foundation

KC decided to take the approach that everyone watching his DVD may have no real experience in hypnosis or a basic understanding at best. As I mentioned in the last paragraph most people will have some type of basic understanding of Hypnosis before attempting these inductions, but what about the people who don’t? What happens if this DVD ends up in the hands of someone who has never actually studied Hypnosis? What would be the result of them attempting Inductions without basic fundamentals?

The answer would be people would be performing these techniques without proper training and instructions which could lead to sub-par performance or even worse. KC doesn’t want his name to be associated with these types of results. So how can a presenter avoid these mishaps and produce quality students?

The best way to avoid this is by making sure you provide a strong overview on Hypnosis fundamentals before even teaching the induction. Even if you’re advanced in Hypnosis it never hurts to go back to basics and refresh yourself on the fundamentals of Hypnosis. This is exactly what KC did with this project. He doesn’t provide a full training course on Hypnosis, but he does go over a lot of material and some that my trainings in the beginning didn’t even cover which I didn’t learn to later on.  So in many ways you are getting two products with this course: A DVD going over the fundamentals and a second one on Instant and Rapid Inductions.

Now I don’t want you to think that all fundamental trainings are created equal because they are not. There are some schools of thought better than others and KC has trained with some of the best and it shows. Some of his fundamental training can be considered advanced concepts and theories depending on who you train with in this business. Here are just a few of the topics covered by KC in Disc One.

- Terminology
- What is Hypnosis
- What does Hypnosis feel like
- Dissociation
- Hypnosis Theory
- Evoking The Hypnoidal State
-The Hypnoidal Five (which is something KC has coined)
- Concentration Exercises
- Suggestion Formation
- Keys to Effective Suggestions
- Pre-Hypnosis Protocol and safety and a lot more…

KC has a wonderful teaching style and to be honest I wish I would have learned hypnosis from him years ago as it may have saved me tons of money and time asking questions. He has a unique way of taking the material and breaking it down into steps and then shows you how to put it all together.

KC has the ability to take information and flip it upside down and rearrange it to the point where you feel you’re learning something new even if you’ve been in this business for years.

How To Become An Expert In Rapid & Instant Inductions with Disc 2

Disc 2 kicks off right where KC left off on Disc 1 by finishing up the fundamentals which eventually leads up to KC teaching how to do Instant and Rapid Inductions.

Unlike some DVDs that go over every Hypnotic Induction in the book KC only covers a handful of inductions. Why? Because the simple truth is you don’t need to know every induction in the world to be an effective Hypnotist.

A good hypnotist should know the basics along with a couple of extra ones. KC discusses some of the most effective inductions which happen to be many of the ones that have made him famous on Youtube.

KC starts each induction by first explaining what type of induction he is about to use and then gives a demo on a volunteer. After the demo KC proceeds to explain exactly what he is doing, his thoughts and some of the processes going on behind the scene which you may not notice. Then after all of this he does the induction again with a walk through. Also, during certain inductions the infamous head of KC will pop up and provide some useful thoughts. Ah, the joys of special effects.

KC performing an Instant Induction on a volunteer

KC has a very systematic approach to teaching which is perfect because he is really good at taking big chuck thinking and breaking it down into smaller steps. I have no doubt by the time you’ve reached the induction part of this DVD you will have no problem performing any of them in part to the training and insights you received in disc 1.

Each induction is performed multiple times, some with different angles. The words are spoken clearly so you can hear exactly what KC is saying, and each action is performed smoothly. A result of KC fine tuning each induction. Another quick note to mention is that KC actually explains why these inductions work and what is going on within the body and mind of the client during an induction. This is a critical element in my opinion as it gives you unique insights other Hypnotists may not have.

In addition to learning Instant and Rapid Inductions KC also provides you all the information you need to know after the fact as well. Remember, what’s the point of the induction if you don’t have an outcome or some type of objective? KC covers these topics with the same detail as the induction. He provides demos of each technique and more than one in many cases.

Here are just a few of the topics he covers on disc 2 after the inductions.

- The Structure of Hypnotic Patter
- Deepeners
- Signs of Hypnosis
- Waking Methods and a lot more…

Now, at the end of the DVD we get a real treat. KC takes a member of the production staff who has never experienced Hypnosis before and hypnotizes him right on the spot using the very techniques he teaches in the DVD. It was an entertaining moment and an ah ha moment in many ways as it’s a coming together of everything he teaches within this project. It’s the perfect ending to the DVD as he shows you this stuff works in the real world and not just in theory.

I know, you’re reading this review and thinking it sounds like any other review, but trust me when I say this DVD is truly a work of art and KC should be applauded for the time and effort he has put into this project. You can tell from the production and little details all throughout the DVD that this product was made with a lot of love. KC could have put out another product that was just so so, but instead he made sure he came into this game with all guns firing. (I’m pretty sure he doesn’t own any guns and if he did they would be hypno guns and not real ones)

My Thoughts On What Could Have Been Better

This is going to be a hard section for me to write because I had a hard time finding flaws with this project. I truly believe that no product is perfect and I try my best to give you, my readers a good balance of the good and the bad because I want my reviews to be accurate. Either way, here are a few things I thought could be improved on, added or better in my opinion.

First off, this DVD is really good and the production is so good, but the cover art isn’t the greatest in my opinion. To me, it doesn’t have the impact I would like to see on a project of this caliber. I know this has nothing to do with content, but I think it could give him an edge in the marketplace from a marketing stand point and help to balance out the whole project.

Secondly, I would have really liked to see some street hypnosis involved in this project. KC is known for his street hypnosis work so it would have been nice to see him take some of his moves to the street. Even if he just inserted clips of him performing the inductions and various other techniques it would have been nice.  You can apply everything you learn to street hypnosis, but KC doesn’t do any impromptu Hypnosis except for at the end of disc 2 when he hypnotizes a member of the production staff on the spot.

Thirdly, as well as KC teaches I would have liked to seen him cover the issue of confidence in relation to inductions a little more. This seems  to be a major issue with a lot of people learning inductions. Once again, I believe his method of teaching and breaking down steps will provide students the confidence needed, but it would have been nice to see a little more of that in this project.

After watching this product two different times I couldn’t spot any technical, video or audio errors and I can’t fault KC for some of the stuff I would have liked to see more of in his project. There is no such thing as a project that can satisfy everyone. All we can do is put our best foot forward and hope the products we put out better the community and produce better Hypnotists.

The Conclusion

I’m sorry this was a long review to read, but this was one of the hardest reviews I’ve had to write. It usually doesn’t take me long to write a review, but this project was so good that I wanted to really capture the essence of it within my words. Did I accomplish this feat? Only time will tell in the end. I’m truly honored to have been able to review this product as it makes all those days and nights of reviewing awful products worth it. Just so you know I review a lot of products, but only good ones get the honor of a written review.

If you’re looking for a complete training on Instant and Rapid Inductions then I would give this DVD a shot. You get all the stuff you need to know before the inductions, the inductions and the stuff you need to know after the inductions. KC has a warm confidence which comes across on the screen which will make learning easy and fun. I have no doubt that you’ll be able to successfully go out and use these techniques the moment you finish watching the DVD. The key is that you actually go out and practice because as I say practice makes perfect and I know KC believes the same.

Instant and Rapid Inductions by KC Johnson receives my highest recommendation and gets 10 stars out of 10. I don’t think I have ever given a product I reviewed that score before.  You can learn more about his program or order it by clicking the link below.

For the most part stuff turned out really well. We had a few set backs as they were to be expected, but nothing major. By the end of that week Taylor and I had completed our first Hypnosis Training product. It felt amazing, really amazing to take all the knowledge and experience in both of our heads and put them on film for the world to see.

Sometimes Things Don’t Go As Planned

Our goal in the beginning was to release the product within about a month or two after completing filming, but that just never happened. It wasn’t because we weren’t working on it or anything of that natural, but we had a setbacks with things such as editing, production and other issues related to the creation of the product.

Let me tell you this, if you think creating a product is easy then you haven’t really created a product. Digital products aren’t so bad, but creating a physical product takes a lot more work and requires a much steeper learning curve. We really didn’t want to come out of the gate with a digital product. There is nothing wrong with them, but for the most part people associate more value with a physical product. Plus, there is nothing like looking in your mailbox and seeing something you just ordered arrive. For the most part people love to receive packages. Heck, I know I do

Another thing that sort of held us up is we kept finding little things wrong with product and improving them. Taylor and I are both big believers in credibility. We both have business backgrounds and they have trained us to put your best foot forward. I mean, if you create a crappy product you will forever be associated with that crappy product. Your name is on the cover and that is not a good way to build credibility.

When we decided to create this product we knew we were going to put everything we had into this project. We paid attention to all the little details. Stuff most people wouldn’t care about, but at the end of the day even if people didn’t like the information presented in our product they couldn’t say we didn’t put a lot of time and effort into this product. Plus, on top of all of this was we wanted to create something that our customers would love. Hell, if you paying your hard earned money you should get some actual value out of the course. Nothing worse then buying these $40.00 e-books which sell big, but deliver small.

After months of working we finally completed the project. What a great feeling to hold something in your hand that you created. This project took almost an entire year to complete, but in the end the result was worth it to us. So with a completed product in hand  we moved on with our plans.

A Early Success, But Is It Enough?

I don’t have time to go into the story behind why we created this product, but you’re receive that answer soon enough. All you need to know at this second is that we were encouraged to create this product so we decided to offer this product to this group of people first. Taylor and I have a social networking site for anyone who enjoys Hypnosis, NLP and Personal Development called FreeHypnosisCommunity.com which we created a few months ago. So we decided to do a test launch just for the people involved in this network. We thought we would do average as this isn’t some cheap $20.00 product, but the end results were really amazing and quite shocking.

We sold more copies then we had ordered from our production company. In was a nice feeling to know people wanted something we put so much work into. So the orders went out and we received some really great feedback. The launch was quite successful and we honestly thought of just releasing it to the rest of the world, but after some carefully consideration we decided to wait. I know, more waiting…what could be better then that? I say that with tongue in cheek obviously. We decided we needed to provide even more value and that is what we did. We didn’t redo the course, but we did make a few slight modification.

It’s Time To Think Outside The Box

We finished making the changes and still thought to ourselves, how can we be different? How can we take the values that make us who we are and share them with the world. Taylor and I are both experts in online marketing and were going to do the usually. We were going to create a website, create a really long sales letter and place it on the internet. I know, it doesn’t seem like much but I promise you this method works quite well. Still, we felt our product deserved better then just some long sales page. I mean, this product is the collective knowledge of Taylor and me which we have worked on for a almost a year. This was more then a product to us. This was more then just another way to make money. This training product was like our baby in a strange way.

Take a moment and think about something in your life you worked really hard for. Maybe completing school or opening up your first practice or business. Heck, maybe even learning to drive. Can you remember those emotions? Those feelings of joy and happiness. Maybe I sound crazy, but this product contains my heart and soul. I can only hope if you are reading this post and decide to create your own product you care for it and put everything you have into it instead of just treating in as another way to make money.  A product is an extension of yourself, simple and true.

So with all of that being said Taylor and me put our brains together and after a few weeks of going back and forth we finally knew how we would bring our product into this world.

TRANCED OUT Has Arrived

So, as you can tell from the title of this blog post and the story I’ve just told we are finally releasing our first product to the world called TRANCED OUT: The World’s First Instant & Rapid Inductions Home Study Course. That’s a pretty bold claim I know. We did the research and while there are a few DVDs out on the market, mainly from a few of our friends, but there wasn’t a COMPLETE Home Study Course on the subject.

This isn’t some let me just show you a couple of inductions and be done with you project. We take you beneath the surface of Instant and Rapid Inductions and share information that has never been talked about before. We can say this with confidence because we own pretty much every course on this subject. It’s not only important to learn the techniques, but even more important to learn why the techniques work in the first place. To learn the concepts, theories and processes that go on behind the scenes before the inductions ever take place.

Have you ever attempted a Instant and Rapid Induction and failed and wondered why? Did you do everything the course told you? It’s not enough to know how to do the induction, but you need to know why the inductions work and what goes on under conscious awareness.

To be an expert at something, to be a master of something you need to understand these concepts and techniques on an unconscious level before you can become completely successful with them on a conscious level. This is what our goal is for TRANCED OUT. We take you from the beginning to the end and then we even support you after the fact because a lot of people just need a little more support after the fact and we provide with TRANCED OUT. In the beginning we set out to make this one or two DVDs, but the end result was a total of 5 DVD’s.

TRANCED OUT is 5 DVDs, 2 Perfect Bound Manuals and a ton of bonuses from some of the biggest names in Hypnosis such as Adam Eason, Richard Nongard, Sean Michael Andrews, Reg Blackwood, Nathan Thomas & many more.

We Just Want To Provide A Lot Of Value

There will be no long sales letters, no hard sales pitches where we try and force you to purchase the product. We want to do something the Hypnosis World has never seen before and that is what we are doing with the release of our product.

We have decided to create a special product launch blog to celebrate the release of TRANCED OUT. This special blog is available NOW and will NOT offer you anything to buy. What you will get is a informative Welcome Video that will explain everything and more and from then on we will be posting a high quality, high value video or piece of content every single day for 2 weeks straight until the actually release date of TRANCED OUT which will be Jan 29th at 3pm eastern standard time.

http://www.hypnoticinductionsblog.com

The videos that we be getting posted are so good we could have packaged them together and sold them. These are actual videos you can watch and then immendiately go out and apply what you learned in the videos. On top of all of this we will actually be giving away a few copies of our Home Study Course completed free. Oh and to top all of this off we are giving away a special, nearly two hour long audio lesson on Troubleshooting Instant and Rapid Inductions which is available on the blog right now.

http://www.hypnoticinductionsblog.com

Why would we just give away a ton and I do mean a ton of free content? Simple. We want you to see the type of value we provide and how committed we are to releasing a quality product that actually benefits those who purchase it. Once again, this special Hypnosis Induction Blog is live right now.

As you will see we’ll put a lot of time, money and effort into this project and we think the results will speak for themselves. So if you love free stuff and even better, if you love high quality, high value free stuff then click the link below to get instant access to our special product launch blog.

Speed Trance Review

As many of my readers know I’m very outspoken about my beliefs when it comes to the use of Instant and Rapid Inductions.

I personally believe that every hypnotist should know more than just a Progressive Relaxation. I also believe that you need to know other inductions as well, but as you begin to study and learn them you’ll start to see how powerful these types of inductions can be for you and your practice.

It doesn’t matter if you are a stage hypnotist, street hypnotist or a clinical hypnotist. These inductions can aid you in almost any situation.

The problem with your typically Progressive Relaxation Induction is that it can take anywhere from 35 min to 45 min depending on the ones you use. Another problem with them is that at the end of the whole thing you don’t even know if they are in hypnosis or where exactly they are. Now, don’t misunderstand me as I believe and know relaxation serves a vital purpose in the overall health of a person, but these people are paying you to hypnotize them and help them out with whatever situation they have in their everyday life. In some instances, I might use a Progressive Relaxation Induction if the client is in some discomfort or if they just want to do a relaxation session. Still, in my opinion this model of hypnosis is outdated to a degree.

What is so great about Instant and Rapid Inductions?

So what is so great about Hypnosis Inductions? Well one thing is they can be used in a wide range of settings including Street Hypnosis, Clinical and Stage. Instant and Rapid Inductions are great when you need to get straight to work as they don’t take long and they are perfect when working with very analytical clients. The reason why is because they happen so fast the client doesn’t have time to analyze what is happening. This is great because now the paying client is actually getting their money worth and you have more time to work with them if needed. Also, most of the time they also get a person into a deep state of hypnosis bypassing the need to start at a light state and work your way down or up. Some Rapid Inductions even have testing built right in to make sure you know where they are at during the session.

So If I had to put a definition on these two types of inductions than a Rapid Induction would be any induction that is 4 min or less and a Instant would be a induction that is 10 seconds or less. So as you can see they are much faster than the standard 35 or 45 min progressive relaxation induction. Now this leads me into the reason I started this post, which is, something called Speed Trance.

What is Speed Trance?

So what exactly is Speed Trance? Well if you thought Instant Inductions were fast than you haven’t seen anything yet. Speed Trance Inductions seem to take a total of 5 seconds or less in the majority of cases and maybe even faster than that in my opinion.

They are a unique style of very rapid instant inductions. John Cerbone and Richard Nongard who are both excellent Hypnotists developed the concept of Speed Trance. I have always consider myself to be pretty damn good with Instant and Rapid Inductions and quite fast at them, but I was quite surprised at how fast these inductions were compared to some of the ones I was using. Beside Speed Trance Inductions being very fast they also look very cool, which is a plus if you are doing stage or street hypnosis.

What Makes Speed Trance Unique?

I have bought many Instant and Rapid Inductions DVDs and most of them are usually just a showcase of Inductions. They really don’t explain anything beyond what they look like. Most products barely even touch on the concepts and theories of why they work and how they work. The Speed Trance 2 DVD set is more than just a showcase of creative looking inductions. It actually serves as a How to guide on how to perform these unique inductions and gives you even more value as it goes into troubleshooting, deepening, safety, rapport building and more. Some of the concepts and techniques taught on the 2 Disc set will actually improve your other instant and rapid inductions as the techniques behind Speed Trance can be applied to other ones as well.

Can’t I just watch Youtube to Learn Speed Trance?

It’s funny though because people e-mail me once in a while and ask why I should buy the DVD when the inductions are right on Youtube. I honestly feel sad for people who ask me this for a couple of reasons. One reason is just because you can imitate an induction doesn’t mean you can ‘do’ the induction. Yes, it is true that some people can mimic an induction and actually get it work. Now the other part to this is that I promise you that if you just do this method you will fail most of the time. Why? Because you don’t understand how they work, you don’t understand how to set them up and the principals behind them.

You won’t be able to adapt it or trouble shoot it if necessary. This is why watching the actual DVD set is important as it gives you all the missing pieces of the puzzle. You will know exactly how these inductions work, the concepts behind them and be able to adapt them or use them in all types of different context. This is why it’s important to know the truth behind them and not just mimic some quick youtube clip.

It’s not very professional to walk up to someone, claim you can hypnotize him or her, but if they ask you how it works you couldn’t tell them. So now that I have cleared that out of the way lets get to Speed Trance: Instant Hypnotic Inductions.

What You Will Learn in Speed Trance

John and Richard start off with a pretty fun and general discussion about Speed Trance and the theory behind Instant Inductions. This is very important as it lays the foundation for you to understand why they work and how they work. As for some reason people tend to think these inductions are fake or some form of magic, which I can promise you they are not. I really enjoy watching these two work together as they have a really great chemistry. Listening to John speak is worth the price of the DVDs as he is from New York and quite a fast talker which makes the convo between the deep voiced Nongard and the fast talking Cerbone quite funny.

A great feature on the DVD set is that Richard and John just don’t talk about Speed Trance, but they actually demo it live with a group of people at a local bar. This is really great to see because it takes classroom information and actually shows you it applied in a real world setting. No pre-conditioned people or stooges, just people who we’re at a bar looking for fun. John even demonstrates a one-man hypnosis show, which was pretty funny. The humor plays a big part of this DVD set as John has an ‘interesting’ style of hypnosis and might have split personalities. (I’m just joking John) The humor actually serves a purpose, which Richard and John cover later in the DVDs. Either way it keeps things entertaining rather than falling asleep while trying to watch the program.

As I mentioned earlier they give tons of real life examples, stories, tips, and John even hypnotizes Richard, which is pretty fun to see. Now, I know some of you are wondering if these are the standard Shock based Inductions or surprised inductions? They are not those types of inductions, but instead combine the use of many other hypnosis techniques such as:

• Sensory Overload
• Confusion
• Eye Fixation & more

This DVD does assume you have some type of previous knowledge about hypnosis or inductions, as this video does not teach you how to hypnotize someone. Remember an induction isn’t hypnosis; it’s just an induction. The Inductions start you on the path of the hypnosis, but these DVDs do not teach you about suggestions and etc.

Personally I think even if you have never learned how to do an induction you could learn it from this video. I have a great deal of knowledge on this subject and even I found a couple of good points I didn’t consider before and that made it worth the price. I think anyone who has never been introduced to these types of fast inductions will be amazed at what’s possible. I have also used every single one of the Speed Trance Inductions within my Hypnosis Practice and they all work great. Very simple, creative and easy once you understand how they work.

Flaws with Speed Trance

While Speed Trance is a really great DVD it has a flaw which is the editing in some places. There are parts that make you feel as if the editing may have been rushed. This really doesn’t affect the overall lessons learned from the DVD. So unless editing is the only thing you care about than I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Still, I feel as if it was my duty to let you know.

My Final Thoughts on Speed Trance: Instant Hypnotic Inductions

So by now, I hope I have given you a little insight into the 2 DVD setSpeed Trance: Instant Hypnotic Inductions. I personally recommend this product and no its not just because I have a affiliate link set up with them. I could set up links to a hundred different programs that provide much better rate of returns, but as you know I believe in credibility and value. I spent years of my life training in hypnosis and I spent lots of money on good products and bad ones. I can only imagine where I would have been if I only spent money on good products.

As someone who is always interested in learning new skills I’m always look for that next good Hypnosis Training Video. I made a promise to myself years ago that I would only learn from the best so I could provide the best to my clients.

In the beginning I started like most people do with the typically old Progressive Relaxation Inductions. Okay, they do serve a purpose sometimes, but I found myself putting myself to sleep after doing enough of them.

Finding a Faster Hypnosis Induction

This search led me to seek out better or at least “faster” ways to get a person into hypnosis. I wanted to be able to hypnotize people within 4 min or less, I wanted to be able to demo hypnosis to people on the street so I could show them the value of hypnosis. Eventually I discovered the answer to my question, which was Rapid Inductions. I discovered a few really good Rapid Induction/Instant Induction training DVDs and one of them is the reason I’m writing this review, which I would like to share with you today. The 2 DVD Instant Induction Training Program is Called The Instant Hypnosis Induction Course by Sean Michael Andrews.

Hypnotize Anyone Within Seconds – Quick, Fast & EFFECTIVE!

Why Instant and Rapid Inductions are a MUST to know

I hope you enjoyed the clip as much as I did when I first witnessed Sean getting people into deep states of Hypnosis right on the street. Can you imagine, how these hypnosis inductions could be applied to your clinical practice, street hypnosis or stage hypnosis show?

Fast Hypnotic inductions do much more than just “look cool” or “wow the audience” they have become a must have tool for anyone within this profession. Now, I’m not saying these are the only hypnosis inductions in the world, but I like to think we as hypnotists have a toolbox of skills and within that toolbox we have many different tools for many different jobs.

So wouldn’t it be nice to know how to use them if you ever have to use them? Let me just outline you a few of the quick benefits of why we should use Instant and Rapid Inductions.

They work great with clients who tend to over think or analyze everything. Many times this will actually keep a person from reaching a nice enjoyable level of hypnosis. Especially if you are one of those hypnotists who only uses progressive relaxation inductions.

You can bypass going through the different levels of hypnosis such as light and medium and get right to Somnambulism. (Imagine the time saved?)

The expectation of your client is met as most people think you are going to trance them out. This can be a very good thing you’ll find out.

You are able to free up tons of time to do the most important thing in your profession. Help your client and give them the attention and time they paid for.

Lets Begin

When you buy this Instant Hypnosis Induction Course you are basically getting a whole seminar/workshop on DVD. The two DVD set is taken directly from one of Sean’s many Instant Inductions and Rapid Induction seminars which he gives all across the country. The Instant Hypnosis Induction Course set starts you off with a Sean in all his glory performing his unique style of street hypnosis with normal, everyday people walking the streets. The same techniques you will learn throughout the DVD. The inductions you learn will allow you to perform this right on the street as well.

Sean basically starts off the DVD by addressing the class. You know how certain people just seem to be a natural? Well Sean comes off as if the classroom is his second home. He comes off as sincere unlike some of the hypnosis trainers I have seen over the years.

He starts off the learning process with a interactive hypnosis session. Yes, Sean actually walks the classroom along with people watching at home through a short hypnosis session. (you may want to experience the trance on the second go around as the technique he shows you should be written down or learned. Why? Well because it’s a effective self hypnosis induction which you could apply to your clients or students. All you have to do is follow along and you’ll be able to enjoy the same relaxation as the people in the video. (I always enjoy hypnosis as I find it sets the pace for learning when used in that context.)

A Review Note

Unlike another DVD I recommend Speed Trance, Sean teaches more traditional material and techniques than some of the stuff that is presented in Speed Trance. I actually think this is better in a way as it lays the foundation for you before jumping into the stuff that is taught in Speed Trance.

Now I think all of us can agree on one thing. We all like to ask questions or should I reword that and say we all wish we would ask questions. We have all had questions at some point in time and choose not to ask them for one reason or another. Sean makes this easy on his class and the people at home. Unlike most teachers who tell people to hold their questions. Sean believes people should just ask him when they have one. This is good for you because you may have questions that people in the class have so you get to have your answers now rather than later.

Tips and Techniques You’ll Learn From Sean Michael Andrews

The first hypnosis induction you will learn is one of my favorite inductions and too me is one of the most powerful Hypnosis induction ever created called The Dave Elman Induction.

This induction will teach you how to get a person into deep hypnosis within 4 min or less. You’ll learn why this induction is so POWERFUL and what makes it tick. Btw, don’t think that just because you know the Elman induction you won’t learn anything new from this DVD. I almost made that mistake and started to fast forward. You will learn techniques that will MAKE SURE you get results with this induction.

The version you will learn is one I use personally in my office now. The first version is the 3 to 4 minute version and than you will learn how to break the Elman down into a shorter version. Yes, the Dave Elman can even be a instant induction and Sean shows you how.

The short version was worth its weight in gold to me as I’m always looking for ways to give my client more time for the money. He teaches each version well and go over each of them with great detail, answering questions here and there as well that different students have. Here are some other techniques you will learn to perform

• The Arm Pull Induction
• The Hand Drop Induction
• Confusing Inductions
• Handshake Inductions & other great inductions all showed and taught in really good detail.

Rapid Inductions look good, but how do they work?

Now, its one thing to demo instant inductions and rapid inductions and its another thing completely to know why they actually work. I rarely support products of this type unless they explain the reasons they work, the theory behind them and why they work. Anyone can make a DVD or product that shows you the induction, but do they explain why they work and how?

You’ll learn the theory behind these inductions and how they actually work. I hate to tell you this in case you thought you knew, but it doesn’t work by just pulling a person arms and yelling sleep. I’m sorry, but the truth is the truth. There is a lot more to these hypnotic inductions.

It would be nice to learn what to do before and after

Beside Learning Instant and Rapid Inductions you will also learn other things that help to build a stronger foundation. You’ll learn how to set up the induction and what to do after the induction. Here are some other great things you’ll learn

Ethics

The Pre-talk

Safety

Dealing with people trying to mess you up if you perform on the streets

Deepeners

How to Attract a audience

How to approach people

How to catch people & More

A nice little bonus you get with the DVD is watching the class actually practice the inductions. (Watch these as it will help you to notice things you can improve upon with your inductions) Sean could have easily cut this out of the DVDs, but I’m glad he left it in. It allows us at home to feel like we’re part of the class. We get to see the mistakes they make and the successes. There is one part where I thought someone actually got HURT, but she appeared okay. You will have to watch the DVD to know what I’m talking about.

Is this DVD Perfect or does it have some flaws?

While the DVD is really good overall all products have things that could have been better or needed a little improvement overall. Here are a few of things I noticed that I though could have been better……

During the recording of the seminar Sean uses a remote to adjust the camcorder. This is a small issue, but you will notice times when Sean is messing with the camcorder to fit him and other things into picture. This isn’t a huge issue, but sometimes takes your attention away from the learning process

During parts of the practice session you have people walking back and forth pass the camcorder. It gets to the point where they block out some of the training and even blocks out Sean talking for a moment or two. This runs on after the practice session as well for a few moments, but than the person moves out of the way.

I may have to go back and watch, but I swore I heard Sean Michael that the class had a workbook. Where is my workbook? I love workbooks and it would have been nice to have that included as well.

NOTE:  I talked to Sean and he said they we’re just for the live class. So if you do buy the course and don’t notice a workbook don’t get scared. It’s suppose to be that way.

So in other words very small technical issues which could happen to any of us if we were filming a training video. Still, at the end of the day Sean Michael Andrew’s Instant Hypnosis Induction Course is a must have for your training library. Sean does a excellent job of teaching the techniques and comes off as very passionate about what he does.

The quality of the product is great and the few flaws don’t hold much weight as the DVD gives a lot of value. If your wondering if you should buy it I wouldn’t tell you not too. The DVD is worth the price, which in all honestly I was worried about, but those fears got laid to rest once I reviewed the product. Well I got to run, but if you would like to purchase it you can just Click Here

I think just about every hypnotist has gone through a phase early in their career when they spent a good amount of time searching for that “perfect” hypnosis induction …the one that was going to put anybody and everybody into hypnosis quickly and deeply.

Stage hypnotists are probably deeper into this quest more than anyone. It is truly important to a stage hypnotist to be able to get those volunteers onto the stage and into a good state of somnambulism in the shortest amount of time with the fewest number of people being sent back out into the audience to enjoy the rest of the show from their seats.

After spending a lot of money, I am here to tell everyone to STOP wasting your time and cash and just use the classic stand by, The Dave Elman Induction. Yes, I said, The Dave Elman Induction. Look, there are few inductions out there that do exactly what Elman’s does …it’s all inclusive and works like a charm.

After a good, solid pre-talk, you have only to roll right into the Elman induction and you will find that those people on that stage will respond as easily as they do in the hypnotherapists chair! Of course, you will need to adapt the script to suit your theatrical needs but by following the basic format of this timeless induction, you have a sure fire way of dropping a good number of your volunteers into that sweet lullaby-land we call hypnosis.

How I Do The Dave Elman Induction On Stage

I generally follow the induction as it is with exception at the end when they would normally be asked to count backwards from one-hundred. I just tell them that I will begin counting from 15 down to one and with each count they will go deeper and deeper. It always works!

If you are wondering about testing …don’t! I mean, you’ll know soon enough when you start lifting and dropping wrists who is really with you and who is not. With just the right amount of fractionation, you’ll see first hand who is dropping in and out of state without much difficulty. Throw in a false count from time to time and you’ll spot those fakers in an instant.

Don’t re-invent the wheel here. Take that quality induction given to us by Mr. Elman and alter it theatrically for your show a little and watch the success and the speed of your show increase tremendously without a lot of money being spent on long, foolish inductions and Dave Elman knockoffs that we don’t need. The faster your induction, the more time for your routines, and more you’ll find people booking you for repeat performances.
