Hello! Earlier today, I had my first two subjects! (It was 2-3am, and at a sleepover)
Last week was camp, and Skylr the highschool hypnotist came! He did two suggestibility exercises, and then took up people from the audience, including two people that were in the same cabin as me, and team! So later that night, I told the one girl that I could do hypnosis, in which she believed, as I mirrored skylr's actions as he went on with the induction (she was called up on stage later in the show) So, that had escalated to earlier today!
The sleepover was going well for the most part, with the exception of a few of us not being able to fall asleep... So we were just chatting and they started talking about camp, and the hypnotist, and how they wanted to be hypnotized. The one girl that I told that I could do it asked me if she could tell the others, and I said sure! They had already looked up an induction script of sequence of steps of something of that sort, but I didn't want to read off of a phone screen, so I did rapids.
Then I talked with them a little, in a little pre-talk I suppose, which I pretty much casually talked about hypnosis and trance, and then I asked them for their permission for me to hypnotize them
However, just to do a little warmup, I did the hand clasp. I did a rather rapid visualization of it being sealed together by glue, and when I had them open their eyes and try to pull their hands apart, all of them couldn't! I was so ecstatic!
So then was the next challenge, picking an induction to use, and a subject. I settled on one of the two that had been hypnotized before, as I knew that she was very suggestible. I did the hand press induction, and counted down from ten to one, and on six I removed my hand and said sleep, in which I continued the countdown and deepening immediately afterwards!
From there whenever I counted down from ten while she was in trance, that was my signal for the other girls on my team to give me suggestion ideas, but they wanted to re-enact the show from the other night, so I did the bird that wouldn't leave, and the floor that bit her butt (my team loved that one)
After, I decided to play a little and do a little transformation. I told her that when I snapped, her bandana would turn into a snake (I was very careful to tell her that it was nonvenomous, and that it won't hurt her in any way) and when I clapped softly, it would just disappear. When I counted her up and she saw the snake, she got a little scared of it, so I quickly clapped my hands and ensured her that it was all gone. Then I calmed her down before dropping her back into deep trance, to give her a re-induction trigger, and to count we up out of trance.
From there I went on to attempt inductions on the other people that wanted me to, but they all ended up laughing, and the one was trying too hard to go into trance. It was quite odd, and funny though... One of the girls would start cracking up whenever I said 'relax' so I had to substitute it. But I think that I have to work a little more on timing to start to become more experienced in the inductions.
After a little while of attempting the inductions with the other girls, with little success on dropping them very deep, I went to the other subject that I find awesome, and she was so much fun to hypnotize.
Originally in the show, she wanted to get called up really badly, but she didn't get called up. So, I told her that I would mirror what he did on stage so that it would simulate that she was up there. Now that I think of it, she was probably in light trance before the show anyway! She went limp very fast, and I had to carefully guide her onto the floor. Soon after, I mirrored the hypnotists motion, and aligned it up to where it was almost identical to his. She then let her head drop to the ground, and went really deep.
The odd thing was, was that she opened her eyes, and decided to come up into the bench with me, we talked, she went out again, the hypnotist counted her up but she went deeper, so I whispered a count up to her... But she went out again and was then called up to stage... She was almost falling backwards off the benches we were sitting on... I was holding her up!
Anyway, she had some trust in my abilities, even though I'm so new at it. Personally I was so excited to hypnotize her, after seeing how she reacts and that she goes really deep really fast.
I did the same induction with we as the others, and when I said sleep, she just went limp. I deepened, and suggested that a balloon was tied to her arm. Then that one of her hair ties on her wrist was glowing (she liked it because it was pretty, it was glowing blue, purple, and pink according to her). After the glowing hair tie, I had an imaginary bug in her hair, but assured she was safe, and for the others I suggested that if she were to try to shout or scream, that her voice just wouldn't work... It was a good thing because she was silently screaming for the half second that there was a 'bug' on her. Other suggestions that the group and I came up with were that she was very mad at one of the people in the group, yet if she tried to curse or shout her voice just wouldn't work.
Another suggestion that was fun was when her fingers/hands were suddenly made of candy, and they were all different flavors. So she licked her fingers, and appearently her right hand was all bad flavors, and her left thumb she thought was grape.
My favorite suggestion was when I have her close friend the superpower of invisibility in which when she clapped, she would disappear, and become completely invisible, and when as clapped again, she would suddenly appear wherever she is currently is. While the subject was in trance, she thought it was awesome, and I thought that I may as well make it a post hypnotic suggestion, so I did. But later I erased it because she was a little freaked out that her friend was appearing and disappearing.
After that I just gave her a post hypnotic suggestion that whenever I snapped my fingers once and said sleep, she would return back down to that state, and the more that I used it, the stronger it will become, and the deeper that she would go.
Guys thanks for all your help so far!!! I am so thankfull! I just wanted to share this with you guys
