If you're interested in learning more about hypnosis, I highly recommend you check out Mike Mandel Hypnosis for Self Hypnosis CDs, or head over to Igor Ledochowski's site for his ultra-powerful conversational hypnosis course. Both are excellent resources. Thanks for visiting!

When you think about stage hypnosis I bet you don’t think that it has anything at all to do with covert hypnosis, do you?

One of the best hypnotists on the planet is Dr. Mike Mandel out of Toronto, Canada.  Currently in Toronto there is a big event on called the Canadian National Exhibition.  Dr. Mike Mandel does daily stage hypnosis shows at this event.  If you have ever seen him, and if you have any skill in covert hypnosis, then you’d realize immediately he is using covert hypnosis even before he gets anybody up on stage.

I encourage you to watch an excellent stage hypnotist such as Dr. Mandel.  Pay close attention to everything that he says and does prior to getting anybody up on stage at all.  You’ll notice that in a very conversational manner, he is getting people to enter a state of wanting to be up on stage.  He is embedding commands such as “want to come up on stage”.  Then, once the participants are actually up on stage he continues to talk to them in a very casual way.  As far as they understand, the hypnosis has not yet begun!  But it has … and it is all covert hypnosis.

Stage hypnosis can be so much fun to watch … and for me it’s all the pre-show stuff that is most interesting.
