INSTANT HYPNOSIS INDUCTIONS
- Rapid Inductions - Speed-Trance - NLP Handshake Inductions
Whether you want to learn stage or street hypnosis or have been practicing professionally for years, or if you are a clinical hypnotist looking for better ways to engage your clients, rapid and instant inductions can improve your presentation and confidence.
If you use YouTube.com, you’ve probably seen tons of free hypnosis video clips on instant or rapid induction methods. One quite popular video is Milton Erickson’s Handshake Induction, and others have videos up demonstrating versions of an NLP handshake induction. Many of these clips are entertaining to watch, but some of them, while short, are actually quite educational, such as those posted by professional hypnotists Richard Nongard, John Cerbone.
Many hypnotists may wonder why you would use an instant or rapid induction, rather than a traditional induction. For some it’s only a matter of personal preference, but they all have their uses, in specific situations.
Traditional induction methods, such as PMR or progressive muscle relaxation, eye-fixation, visualization and awareness inductions are still quite useful with specific populations, such as certain clinical life-improvement clients. Those who are over-anxious, who just want to relax, or who expect a lengthy induction may require a more traditional approach, and that’s just fine. However, with most clients, given the option, why would you waste twenty minutes on induction when you can spend fifteen minutes of that time focused on targeted assessment, and creating and delivering practical suggestions, and move your clients along?
Furthermore, these kinds of inductions often take ten to twenty minutes or longer when done in full, so if you do a complete head-to-toe PMR induction at a stage hypnosis show, your entire audience is likely to be asleep, and that’s not what they expected or paid admission to experience.
Rapid inductions, meaning those that induce trance in about three to seven minutes, have become quite popular over the past decade, especially with stage hypnosis shows and returning clinical hypnosis clients. With a rapid induction, you are essentially cutting the more traditional induction down to, as screenwriter/author William Goldman might say, ‘the good parts.’ Instead of addressing every single muscle in the body for a PMR induction, you would work with muscle groups (shoulders and arms, torso, legs), and instead of delivering the induction in an Ericksonian or indirective, free-style unabridged manner, your speech would be far more pithy and instructional in nature. In short, fewer words with more direction equals less time into trance.
The rising popularity of ‘street hypnosis’ - performing hypnotic acts rather spontaneously in social situations - has created a need for more immediate inductions. European sensation hypnotist Peter Powers popularized street hypnosis with a television special several years ago. However, his show would have been quite boring had they also filmed and showed the pre-talk and intensive induction process he used, rather than just the entertaining phenomena he demonstrated with his subjects. Average Joe hypnotists do not carry cameras around, and their subjects on the street or in local bars and restaurants expect instant results.
Responding to this demand, celebrity hypnotist John Cerbone, an originator of several eye-popping induction methods, working closely with innovative hypnotist Richard Nongard, have taken the term ‘instant’ quite literally, and have shaved induction time down to literally three to six seconds. Their amazing results are now known the world over as ‘speed-trance.’
There are several variations of the instant induction method, from a refreshing twist on the famous NLP, Milton Erickson and Cal Banyan’s rapid Handshake Inductions, to Cerbone’s original six-second Butterfly Flutterdown. With a little practice and an open mind, these strategies are simple to master and will certainly WOW the crowd. Additionally, they are quite useful as hypnotic convincers in stage show productions, as well as for getting down to business with returning clinical clients.
We wish you the best of luck in defining your personal induction style! And if we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

About Stage Hypnosis Training and Courses
-
Stage hypnosis is one of the most rewarding fields of study and, at the same time, it can be one of the most difficult. Stage hypnosis training can be very expensive, and most seminars occur in big cities like Las Vegas or London, or at annual conferences, like the Hypnoticon convention, now held twice each year in Atlanta and California. --more--

About Creating Unique Stage Hypnosis Show Skits
-
We’ve seen tons of shows across the country by dozens of different performers over the years, from various conventions, to Vegas, to comedy clubs in the Midwest, school events and so forth. Many have had the same elements or bits, but done differently, and some were done exactly the same. --more--
About Stage Hypnotists Keeping Up with the Times
-
Now and then we get a comment or two from career professionals who are disgruntled that we Hypnosis Gurus are “selling out the secrets” of stage hypnosis, or that we are “flooding the market” with new hypnotists by offering comparatively inexpensive training to anyone interested in learning the art, and thus subsequently “cutting the fees” that the old-boy’s-club can charge for their shows. --more--
About Teen Hypnotist Training Philosophy
-
These days, when it seems difficult to get most kids interested in anything more than chatting with friends or playing games on the Internet, it is amazing to us that many in the industry will so adamantly poo-poo the idea of training teenagers to become hypnotists. --more--
About Clinical Hypnosis Training for Stage and Street Hypnotists
-
Many stage hypnotists are only that - stage hypnotists - and they have never taken a clinical course in hypnosis. And many clinical hypnotists only practice clinical hypnosis, and may even shudder at the mere mention of hypnosis for entertainment purposes. And then there are the hypnotists who regularly practice both stage and street hypnosis. --more--
