Hand stick suggestions

One of the things that I do for the first time that I've hypnotised someone is to provide usually name and/or number amnesia, as well as a "hand stick" suggestion. This is to give people a taste for what hypnosis is like, and what it's about, and it's something fun to do.

Matt was an awesome volunteer who knew nothing about hypnosis, as most of us don't know anything. So the first thing I did was remove any element of fear, as well as any elements of expectation. I told Matt during the session that I don't want him to expect for things to happen and I didn't want him to feel that he was doing something wrong or right.

Once this pretalk was in place, it was time to do some hypnosis! The results of the hypnosis can be seen here:
