dubai_phil Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 OK, it's time. we've had all sorts of threads of late about Belief, Clairvoyants etc. So let's get down to something simple. Who's actually been hypnotised? Anyone been to a Hypno Show? Anyone ever dug in to the actual Science behind it? I had the good fortune to spend a couple of nights out on the town (over here) many years ago with Alan Bates. He was a real normal guy, and we had a real blast. I'd watched his show and like everyone tried to work out how he could fly so many people to Dubai to sit on stage and act the way he suggested. Then a mate of mine became a proper "Give up Smoking/Cure your fears" Hypnotist before becomg a stage Hypno. Let's just say if this thread takes off and we get a debate I have a few tales to tell having seen it actually work on mates & family (lol) Hell, one night just for me he even turned the "volunteers" into a Monkey Chicken Petting Zoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 Hell, one night just for me he even turned the "volunteers" into a Monkey Chicken Petting Zoo My friend swears by it, and I'm curious to try it for my smoking but I'm yet to do so. I'll be interested to see some responses from people on here who may have experienced it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 4 June, 2011 Author Share Posted 4 June, 2011 Never seen one live but one made a fool of my sister in Greece once, she was not happy at all. So she went on stage and...... Took my youngest & his mate along to watch my buddy. Youngest simply seemed to fall asleep. But as "we were mates" he didn't do the usual wake them up & kick them off he left him.... About 30 mins in to the show (after his mate had woken up) Youngest suddenly sat up & my mate went up & said - you all right? Son says yeah fine thanks Dave (mates name) & son stands up... Mate says hang on just one moment - are you hypnotised? Son says no I'm fine - Mate says "Sleep" Son is out cold... about a minute later mate does the Swan Lake Ballet sketch... Son is there doing the whole Pas de Duex...... Afterwards he said it was just weird, he knew where he was and knew there was an audience and yet he also simply had to dance ballet.. (Which for a Bass Guitarist in a local Emo band was a -pretty massive thing to admit)... Plenty more... Hope your Sis didn't encounter "The Gun".........

OK I didn't believe. mate is learning needs Volunteers - fook off you are not messing with my head - so one of the girls in the office who wanted to give up smoking said she'd volunteer buit asked me to Chaperone. Mate took her under but instead of doing the "Smoking is a bad thing" went deeper and acyually "Regressed her". She talked about why she had taken it up in the first place, and afterwards? yep she gave up for about 3 years. If you want to learn more there is lots on line and anti-smoking stuff you can now download cheaply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 4 June, 2011 Share Posted 4 June, 2011 I tried it to try and overcome my great fear of having operations in hospital. Regret to say that both times with different hypnotherapists it didn't work. They just couldn't put me under, when they thought I was I just sat up and told them I wasn't. I Really wanted it to work as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
