Today i tried to hypnotize someone for the first time and yes... i failed
I tried with my twin brother.
I tried to built a set piece via magnetic fingers, magnetic hands and then tried to induce the hypnosis via "dress rehearsal" (i don't know how to say in english, i read "the hypnotist" of Anthony Jacquin and in italian it's called "La prova generale", the technic that worked for the first time for Anthony), where i says to the target: "
"Can I take your arm? What I will do in a moment will stretch my arm, so, and take your hand. I do not want you to go hypnosis, because I want to explain this ... "
"... because it will help you later to be hypnotized ... and then to get you out of hypnosis, we will lower our hand again."
"All you know is that I'll take your wrist so."
"I'll talk to you in a certain way, and when the hand reaches a certain height, you will notice that some things happen, that will make you understand that you are going to be hypnosis ... your eyes will close, your breathing It will change and you will go deeper and then, to bring you back, perfectly awake, we will lower your hand again. Okay? "
"I will not do it again, I just want you to understand the situation, if it was time to do so, all I would do would stretch my arm so I would lift your hand in this way and stop it to where you would go In hypnosis. You will probably find that your eyes will close at some point. Your hand will bend on its own, then I will lower it again. Okay. "
Finally i tried with the "iron arm" to see if he was in trance... but he was able to bend it.
Maybe my tone of voice was a little be restless... not so calm... maybe to loud... and sometimes i thought: "And now WTF have i to say?"
Somebody can help me, i'm really frustrated for this fail, i don't want to surrender, but i would like to understand where i was wrong.
