I'm a certified clinical hypnotherapist and wanted to learn comedy hypnosis, this book is great and has a prominent place in my library
I was able to use this book to do my first (unpaid) comedy hypnosis show. I actually wanted to give it 3.5 stars rather than 4 for reasons which I'll explain. It contains enough information for you to learn how to create a stage show around hypnosis, although my recollection of the actual hypnosis instruction is fuzzy. It contains skits, hypnotic "convincers," and even some hilarious things you can do to make your audience laugh even without hypnosis.So why don't I think it's a five-star book? It has problems with organization and clarity, and I sometimes had trouble finding my place among the sometimes ambiguous chapter titles. There is some awkward repetition of information, probably unintentional, which caused me some confusion as I tried to decide which version of the information/instructions was most reliable. I feel that the book deserves more editing. Also, the explanation of the Arons Depth Scale could have been worded better; it was difficult to understand.That being said, this is still a great book (especially for the price!) that will get you off the ground. It has some information on doing stage hypnosis as a business, but I've found more comprehensive information elsewhere. Also, I already had some experience hypnotizing actual subjects before I got this book. If you don't have that skill yet, some cross-referencing and a good deal of practice will be helpful.I can recommend this book to hobbyists or anyone who can't afford more comprehensive training. It has the bulk of the information you need to do an entertaining hypnosis show. Just be prepared to spend some extra time hunting for specific info or making sure you understand one thing or another.
