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.

Well, enough talk from me. If you want to check out this video interview with Jeffrey Stephens just click the link below. I hope you get some useful information out of it.

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????

Enjoy Nathan’s free report

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.

I’m currently working on a new stage show which combines magic and hypnosis. I don’t mean the kind of show where the first half is a magic show and the second half a stage hypnotist show. I mean a true “mash-up.” Mixing the two together, really blurring the lines.

Using mentalism, suggestion and fast inductions on just a couple of volunteers at a time, with the intention that nobody can see where the illusion starts or the hypnosis ends. Nor am I talking about a “Derren Brown” type of psychological illusionist show, as mine is much more overtly a hypnosis stage show than that. So at the risk of being plagiarized the world over, I’ve decided to share some of my ideas here.

For those who don’t know me, my “thing” is instant and rapid inductions. I do street hypnosis and impromptu hypnosis in bars and train others to do the same. I also teach Induction Modification methods to speed up and improve any old induction you might have heard of. Being able to do such fast inductions (as many others can) under virtually any conditions and with a great success rate, started me thinking about how I could utilize the hypnosis in other ways – in addition to getting entertainment out of giving the usual suggestions; sticky/stiff/numb/forgetful/funny etc. (Not that there’s anything wrong with any of those!) So, on with the show:

1. Icebreakers

You will know that many stage hypnotists use suggestibility tests to select the somnambulists from the crowd. Personally, I’ve always felt a bit sorry for those whose hands don’t stick together or whatever. Sure, they get to see more of the show than the volunteers who end up on stage, but I can’t help feeling they must feel a bit left out at first. So, whilst delivering my version of the pre-talk, I combine traditional, “real” suggestibility tests with a number of other demonstrations of suggestibility.

These range from a couple of magic tricks with a suggestible angle to classic optical illusions (printed or projected large-scale) of the type where the brain creates movement or “fills in the blanks.” Not only are these interesting, informative and entertaining for the whole audience, but by carefully watching the reactions to these, I can easily select my volunteers for the stage demonstrations in the rest of the show.

2. Hypnosis as misdirection

Many of you will already know that hypnotic language, anchoring and other hypnotic techniques can all help to enhance the performance, atmosphere and perception of even the simplest of magic tricks. However, I often use a genuinely hypnotized volunteer to help with the misdirection of an illusion.

I.E. Having witnessed a trick involving a fully hypnotized volunteer, even magicians can be fooled into thinking that the hypnosis MUST have somehow played a part in the effect. Of course, that is hardly ever the case. An added bonus in this is that before emerging the subject, you can suggest they will have no memory of the actual workings of the illusion and so will not have to field any questions from curious spectators!

3. Magic as induction

Where an unhypnotized volunteer is sufficiently mystified/astounded/confused at the climax of a magic trick, I have them in the ideal state to lead right into a fast induction, so needless to say, I rarely waste that opportunity! That’s just one example of using a magic trick as the lead-in to an induction but I also have built a collection of effects which can be used as a reinduction cue.

The idea of using something external as a reinduction cue first occurred to me during a hypnosis event in my local magic shop: I had one hypnotized subject focus on one of those rubber dome pop-up toys (The kind where you turn them inside out, place them on a flat surface and wait for them to pop up into the air) as I gave the suggestion that the moment it popped up, it would take them back into hypnosis, taking them even deeper than before.

Without giving away too many magical secrets, this use of an external, inanimate object for reinduction works really well with a number of “psychokinetic” (PK) type effects where there is usually a delayed sudden movement of a prop. I have since seen a video of another hypnotist using Banachek’s commercially available “PK Pen” to great effect in this way and I’m only just beginning to scratch the surface.

4. Pseudo-psychology

Finally, I never use any of the so-called psychological forces, but I will often convince volunteers retrospectively that this has actually been the case. Once a prediction is revealed to be correct, I will convincingly improvise (lie) about how I influenced their choice of card, symbol or object etc. Often attributing this to the color of my shirt, the position of my hands, the shape of the table or anything else that springs to mind at the time! I find many easy, self-working tricks can similarly be enhanced by asking the volunteer a series of unrelated, closed questions to “assist me” in a seemingly miraculous divination.

To conclude:

I have found that if you’re a competent enough hypnotist, letting the audience in on some of the science of suggestibility (even if you do use a little bit of magic trickery and misdirection to reinforce some of it) takes nothing away from, and can even enhance the presentation of the wonderful art of hypnosis.

It’s all about making it appeal to a new generation of audience, but if you still think your audience will be entertained by seeing a subject perform like Madonna or Michael Jackson, then you’ll probably never encourage the Playstation generation off the couch and into your show.

OK. I’m out of here!

Reg Blackwood Hypnosis Training DVD

Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, Reg Blackwood is one of the world’s fastest hypnotists. He is the only Street Hypnotist in New Zealand, where he is known as The Quicknotist. He has also developed and leads a one day seminar in Induction Modification Theory and Instant and Rapid Inductions for those wishing to learn the art of Quicknosis.

With over fifteen years of experience as a comedian, magician, actor and writer, it would be nice to say he’s unforgettable. The truth is, you probably won’t remember meeting him. Reg is available to work as a roving act and for stage demonstrations or TV/Radio appearances.

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.

Thanks,
