You have all seen it, you are watching a hypnotist and it seems like with a snap of his fingers the subject is under his control. And you think to yourself, boy I wish I had that power! You may not be able to have that power over someone but you can learn how to hypnotize someone quickly, with practice and confidence in what you are doing.

Choosing a method and practicing on that will find you faster success with hypnotism and that is why many choose the handshake method. This method works because you confuse the person by interrupting the behavior pattern without them knowing it. If someone extends their hand, you automatically go to shake it, if that is interrupted it can confuse your brain because what you expected to happen didn’t.

Start up a conversation with the person, somewhere mid conversation switch topics without warning. Describe something that you know they would be receptive to, like how you could go for a nice juicy steak right now, use details so they can imagine that steak. Once they seem to be imagining how good that would taste, switch back to what you were talking about.

Then, while you are talking, stick out your hand as if you are going to shake their hand. Natural behavior will have them reach out theirs without thinking, when they do, instead of taking their hand; grab the wrist quickly but gently. Some people will then quickly say “sleep” and others turn the hand and guide up to their face, while calmly telling them to close their eyes and go into a nice deep sleep where they feel warm and safe. You have just confused them, interrupted their normal pattern and taken control.

Once they are in the hypnotic state you need to reassure them with a calm and soothing voice that they are in s safe peaceful sleep and will stay in that sleep till it is time to come out. Then you start the session on whatever you agreed upon until you are ready to bring them back.

When the session is done and it is time to bring them out of the trance, you just tell them you will start to count backwards from five and when you reach one, they will wake up and feel alert and refreshed. You could also count and stop after each number, telling them they are waking up a bit more and then continue, till they are fully awake.

People everyday are learning how to hypnotize someone and using that to their advantage. It isn’t as hard as most may think; it just takes practice and a lot of confidence in your skill. But remember, if the person you want to hypnotize must be willing, no one goes under if they don’t want to, no matter how skilled you are.
