In the free how to learn hypnosis training video entitled, How to do hypnosis without trance; Paul wanted to experience a stage hypnosis phenomenon on a one day seminar with me, the hypnotist Jonathan Chase. And as I wanted to demonstrate the so called Erickson handshake as demonstrated often by people like Richard Bandler, The two mixed together very well. There is nothing going on here other than what you see. No loops, no ladders and no claims to have developed what is nothing more than the art of suggestion.
He did go into trance but only because I also wanted to display that trance is the resulting symptom of hypnosis and suggestion. Not the hypnosis itself.
