[Derren Brown Hypnosis Snap Induction] lets move on to looking at the idea of a hypnotic trance
what's your name? John.. John... Up you come John. Happy to meet you!
what you do for a living John? [JOHN] IT
IT Excellent thanks so much for coming look at me now, look at your hand, sleep
Back you go that's good you can just let yourself sink right the way down
and right the way deep and rite the way sound asleep
It looks very impressive is one the most dramatic demonstrations of hypnosis
to be able to hypnotize someone like that its called a hypnotic snap induction
what's actually happening there is I'm interrupting a an automatic process for
John shaking hands is something you don't think about it just is automatic
process
and to interrupt someone in the middle of something is automatic is
very kind as confusing and bewildering for people it's throws you completely
and at that point you become highly suggestible because you want relief
from the confusion so if induce that confusion by interrupting automatic
process and then give them
a specific piece of information like sleep NOT everybody but most people
will
absolutely fine embrace that so what you've seen might look dramatic but it was
achieved through nothing more than ordinary suggestion
that would be a little impractical to do this with all of you so with the
rest of you we are going to take it little bit more
slowly know under the 1952 hypnotism act we cannot broadcast the complete process
of hypnotic induction
in case you the audience at home go under and can't be brought out
close your eyes for me but I can explain how it's done
and the key to this hypnosis is relaxation and focus
