Ding! Ding! Ding! Your partner starts giggling wildly every time a bell rings. Someone else in the audience crawls around and barks like a dog. The bunch is in a chaos while watching these normal people do all sorts of mad things. This is stage hypnotism, and anybody can do it.
First, make the topic feel relaxed. The need is that she or he must feel extremely comfortable. This is done in order to release all the stress within the person. A clear head is crucial to successfully hypnotizing a subject. The subject's level of relaxation can be checked by studying his breathing patterns. Breathing should be deep, and all breaths should be equal. Next, check the subject's muscles. They shouldn't be tense, and the topic shouldn't be fidgeting. Understanding even the littlest particulars in this process and training properly will help you become a good stage hypnotist.
Second, spur the subject to daydream about relaxing subjects. This is necessary to further relax his mind and make your subject very receptive to the things that you say. Next, ask the topic to relive his experiences from the past few days. Guide him in making a mental picture but let him do all of the work. Once the mental picture has been settled, tell him to let those memories go. After that, tell the topic to picture a craving in his mind, especially a hunger for a particular food. He must visualise it, smell it, and taste it. Help him do this by encouraging his imaginings that the food is essentially in the room with him. At this point, test your subject again. Tell him to imagine a ruler, and permit him to rate himself from one to 12; one being absolutely awake while 12 being nearly asleep. If their range is lower than 9, repeat the last three steps to prompt total relaxation in preparation for correct stage hypnotism.
Trust is your strongest weapon. Foster trust this by telling the topic that he is in control. Let him know that what he is going to do under hypnosis is the right thing to do. Just say anything that you think will build up his trust and faith in you to guide him. Once you know that the subject trusts you, try making him to stand up. If he does, then you know that you have him. Nevertheless you should be patient on occasions because there are occasions when it will take him a very long time to do. A technique to make this hypnotic state come more quickly is to make a story out of the experience. Build up to a second in the action of the story where you are able to say what you need the subject to do, and then add it into the tale. This is a very efficient way to command the subject to do something under hypnosis without making it an actual command. It is a much more effective system.
At the end of the act, guide the topic softly towards awakening from the hypnotic state. An easy way to do this is to let them relax and stretch before waking them. Remember, the topic may not remember what he did under hypnosis. Mention this fact to make the performance even more fascinating for your audience.
