Arm levitation with Luke

Last one for Season 5 which we need to sadly wrap up. I decided to end on a parallel video to what I started with and Luke shows us what it's like to have no control over his arm which is attached to an imaginary helium balloon. We'll be back soon in another couple of weeks however, so don't forget to stay subscribed, and or continue watching this feed!

Lost numbers with Aidan

Aidan was a good sport where I varied the missing number routine and he lost more than just the number four. In fact he lost several numbers that day and ended up with I think counting out 13 fingers. This video explains how this happened!

Invisible friends with Luke

So fair is fair, and I decided to make Luke's partner in crime, Aidan, invisible. We then proceeded to play a little game of "Marco, Polo", and this is how Luke reacted. For the record, he's less freaked out about the event now.

Peter's reaction to stuck hands

This is Peter's first go at Hypnosis as well, so here's how he reacted to the suggestion of stuck hands.

Time Freeze with Aidan

This is Aidan's from NoRisk first time being hypnotised. He was such a good subject we went straight to a Time Stop demo. Watch as we freeze time and restart time and his reaction to the whole situation. 

Sticky hands with Emma

Emma was excited for hypnosis and this is her first time, so I did a standard hand stick. This is how the video turned out. For those of you who don't know, for people I have never hypnotised before, I will generally do a forgotten name/number and a hand stick suggestion, just so they get the hang of everything. 

Luke and forgotten numbers

Luke from NoRisk was kind enough to have a go at hypnosis and I had to throw back an ode to Tyson's video. The suggestion given in this video was that he would forget the number 3, and when he remembered it again, anyone holding up that many number of fingers, it would be hilarious to him. Needless to say, this is how the video turned out.

Combined Suggestions with Lewy

And I'm back! Lewy is back for season 5 and it's this simple to forget your name. This is a combined suggestion which includes an arm levitation and when his arm drops down, his name is gone. This is always a fun one to perform and I hope you enjoyed it too!

Time Freeze with Lewy

So I have one last ditch attempt at providing a Christmas Gift before the new year. So I decided on the Time Freeze routine as demonstrated by Lewy. Hope you enjoy the video. And Seasons Greetings to all! Thanks for the support and I'll try and get more videos going in 2013!

Throw back to Tyson

So I know that this week is forgetful numbers week and I couldn't resists throwing back to Tyson from Season 1. I know most of you may have seen this video before, but if you haven't I'd like to re-share it with you as it's a classic and almost instilled the same reaction as Lewy from Monday's video.

Lewy Counts to 10

Lewy is a great subject and there's a few suggestions that I did with him. Here's him counting to ten and how the mind can play tricks on you when you provide the power of suggestion for other people.

Revisit: Compounding suggestions with Dylan

This is a throwback to Dylan, when I was compounding suggestions with him. It's actually pretty cool what you can suggest to people and what their brains do and watching as people do/say what they do/say. Here's how Dylan performed...

Arm Leveitation with Zak

So my man Zak helped me out with a combination of suggestions which included an arm levitation. This was kinda the half way point video for forgetting his name. And trying to do a hand stick suggestion. I have to admit, Zak's reaction of having no control of a limb is pretty cool.

Revisit: Aidzee forgets his name

Given that's it's forgetful name week, I thought I'd drag up a video of Aidzee and a hypnosis routine where he also forgets his name and I give it back. 

First time forgetting names with Lewy

When I mentioned hypnosis, Lewy volunteered straight away. Forgetting his name would be a familiar task that lead into a series of other videos down the track of further fun with Lewy. Given it was Lewy's first time. I figured I'd run the normal routine, until I realised that we would get some new routines out of him, so stay tuned for those!

Magnetic hands with SethNero

As a throw back. This week I'm revisiting Dylan who helped me with magnetic hands as an induction technique as well. I posted this particular video way back in Season 2 at the start of the year, but I still think it's interesting to get an idea of how different people react with the same induction technique!

Magnetic Hands Induction

I try to make hypnotic inductions as fun as possible for people sometimes. Given that Squidgy already knew what it was like to go under hypnosis, I switched things up a bit by performing the "Magnetic Hands" induction. So this is how simple it is to get people to return to that fun hypnotic state a different way!

Blast from the Past: Aidzee forgets his name

Quite often for new people to the hypnotic experience, I setup the same experiences for everyone so that everyone gets a fair go. But lately I'm trying to switch it up a bit. Let's delve into the archives to see what the experience was of Aidzee the Comic, who's been doing stand up for ages, suddenly forget his name!

Name recollection with Zak

Zak helped out again with a Name recollection exercise. As always, it's an interesting sensation when you don't know your own name. This video shows you how much fun you can have when you ask them to give you what they think their name is!

More Hand sticking!

Whilst we're on the topic of sticking hands to things. Matt was kind enough to help me out with this demonstration. I may have mentioned this before in a previous post, but I build expectation of my subjects that I hypnotise for the first time. Everyone knows that they are going to forget a name or a number, and everyone knows that they are going to get their hand stuck to something.

This a) sets up expectation, and b) it's a common talking experience amongst my friends when they say "oh yeah, he did that thing and that was really crazy" rather than "did he make you forget your name? nah, he stuck my foot to the floor".

And whilst it may be boring to watch me stick people's hands to stuff over and over, it's always interesting to see how people react and I can guarantee, that if you go back though every video, it's with awe and surprise that this weird phenomena has occurred.
