I’m happy to announce that the long awaited squeal to Speed Trance: Instant Hypnotic Inductions has finally arrived. I have been waiting for this project for a while as I’m a fan of Street Hypnosis.

For those of you not involved in it you are losing a lot of money as Street Hypnosis is a great way to get clients and lots of fun. For those of you looking to spread the truth about hypnosis their is nothing better than educating people on the street, hypnotizing them, with permission of course and giving them feel good suggestions.

Street Trance: How to Do Impromptu Hypnosis is a DVD Project by Richard Nongard and John Cerbone, both who carry a lot of weight in this field. They are most known for their last best seller Speed Trance, which changed the way I use Instant and Rapid Inductions. For those who are not interested in street hypnosis you should still get this DVD because the stuff you learn in can be directly applied to your hypnosis practice or used when giving demo’s and workshops on hypnosis.

Remember, we as hypnotists have to think of ourselves as marketers. Think outside the box and you’ll find your pockets filling with cash pretty quickly. Some of the things you will learn in this DVD from Richard and John is….

• Learn how to demonstrate hypnosis and hypnotic phenomena – instantly – anytime, anywhere, with anyone with Richard Nongard and John Cerbone!

• Learn Lighting Fast Instant Inductions that Work!

• Learn More Original Instant (6-second) Inductions, step-by-step, from John himself

• Learn to Perfect your Pre-Talk for Successful Impromptu Encounters (how to drop them everytime)

• Learn to Create Mini 1-Person Stage/Street/Party/Anywhere Shows on the fly!

• Learn New Applications for Using Instant Inductions in Stage, Street and Clinical Settings

As with all Richard and Johns training videos, this set includes both classroom lesson as well as video clips of Richard and John performing these techniques live, in public places, with complete strangers. Learn the methods step-by-step, understand how and why they work, then see them demonstrated live, with real people in the real world.

It’s one thing to learn the theory, its a whole another thing to see these theories put to work in the real world. You will have a blast learning and demonstrating these new techniques – and your performance skills and confidence will soar as nothing teaches you confidence quicker and faster than street hypnosis.

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.
