THE STREET HYPNOTISTS HANDBOOK
THIRD EDITION.

My name is Nathan Thomas, and Im delighted to welcome you to the Street Hypnotists Handbook,
Third Edition. Here you will find a collection of hypnosis techniques and methods, with simple how
to instructions. This will help you brush up on the fundamentals of hypnosis, give you some new
ideas for inductions, deepeners and suggestions, and provide you with some safety guidelines, as
well as hopefully getting your creative mind rolling on how you can adapt, modify and invent these
techniques yourself.
This is essentially a quick recipe book of hypnosis techniques, and assumes that you already have a
good understanding and knowledge of hypnosis, and have already studied the basics. Refer to this
book when you need fresh ideas, or when you want to try out some new techniques or methods.
Remember the instructions given are just guidelines, feel free to modify these techniques as they
suit you, and remember that there is no right or wrong way to do
hypnosis, provided that what you are doing works. At all times, when doing any induction or other
techniques, make safety and the respect of your subject your top priorities.
So, I know youre keen to begin, so, without further ado, lets kick it off!

Instant and Rapid Inductions.
Well begin with instant and rapid induction techniques. Some of these will also combine what are
commonly called suggestibility effects. The essential ingredient behind every one of these
techniques is confidence in yourself and your hypnotic ability. If you need help gaining this
confidence, keep your eyes peeled for a special resource at the end of this section. These step by
step instructions will give you the skeleton of the techniques, the real magic comes from the way
you do them.
Youll notice that all these inductions are essentially the same, with shock, surprise, confusion, loss
of equilibrium, eye fixation and other principles being used to make the trigger (the sleep or relax
or trance command) effective. This is not the only way to do an instant induction, but it is the
standard method and is highly effective.
A trouble shooting section will be provided at the end.
The Hand Drop Induction
1. Sit your subject down
2. Have them press down upon one of your hands palm on palm
3. Lift your hand up against theirs to encourage them to press hard
4. Move your hand away suddenly, as their hand drops and their enter shock firmly give your trigger
(ie Sleep!) and begin your dee pener.

The Arm Pull Induction
1. Sit your subject down or stand them securely and ensure they will not fall
2. Take a hold of their hand with yours, as if you were shaking hands
3. Give a firm but not violent or painful jerk to the arm, and then immediately command sleep and
move into a deepener, always ensuring that they do not fall. You may want to use your other arm to
secure their neck and head to prevent whiplash as you do this.

The Magnetic Hands Induction
1. Have your subject hold both their arms out about a foot apart, with their palms facing each other.
2. Tell your subject to imagine their hands were magnetic plates, being attracted to each other and
being pulled closer and closer together
3. As your subjects hands get closer tell them that the moment their hands touch they will
immediately enter a deep trance.
4. Just before their hands touch rapidly (but not roughly!) clap their hands
together and then command sleep and enter a deepener.


The hand to face induction
1. Ask your subject to hold out their hand in front of them
2. Rapidly take hold of this hand and move it up in front of their face
3. Tell them that their hand is going to begin moving towards their face and the moment it touches
their face they will immediately enter a deep trance
4. Continue to loop this suggestion and the instant their hand touches their face rapidly pull their
arm downwards and command sleep!

The Handshake Induction (simple version)
Simply interrupt a normal handshake and lead into either the arm pull or hand to face induction
above.

The Handclasp Induction
1. Have the subject clasp their hands in front of them, very tightly
2. Ask them to imagine their hands are glued together to the point where they cannot come unstuck
3. When their hands are successfully glued together push their hands
downwards firmly and command sleep, and enter a deepener.

The eye lock induction
1. Have the subject close their eyes, and simply relax them to the point
where they just wont open (should take less than 30 seconds)

The Stiff Arm Induction
1. Have the subject hold out one of their arms
2. Have them move all the tension from their mind and their body, and all their doubts about
hypnosis into that arm, making it stiff as a steel bar, tight, rigid and unbendable
3. When they have confirmed that the arm is unbendable, say that when you push down on it they
are going to release all that tension and enter a deep state of hypnosis.
4. Firmly grasp their arm as you command release or sleep
and loosen it until all the tension is gone, then deepen quickly to stabilize the incredibly deep state
you have created.


My Inductions:
Two inductions I have created totally on the fly whilst filming for YouTube, just a bit of fun which you
may enjoy, and should give you an idea of how easy it is to create inductions of your own:

The Nathan Finger Waggle Induction: (great for demonstrations and analytical subjects, and shows
how anything really can be an induction.
1. Have the subject hold both arms up and ask them to cup their right hand.
2. Have them rotate their cupped hand quickly left and right
3. As they are doing this have them waggle the fingers on the other hand, as fast as possible
4. Repeatedly ask them to swap hands, combine patterns, change over, slow down and speed up,
overloading them and confusing them all the while
5. Pull both their hands down and command Sleep then deepen

The Thomas String Body Catalepsy Induction (AKA The String Induction)
1. Have your subject securely standing up, and ensure they will not fall
2. Have them put their hands out in front of them about a foot apart
3. Ask them to imagine tight but not uncomfortable string wrapping itself tightly around their whole
body in a strangely comfortable way
4. Keep talking about this comfortable string locking their arms and legs in place (whist making sure
they are secure and do not fall)
5. Test to make sure they are finding it gradually hard and harder to move, but are still feeling safe
and comfortable
6. When they are totally immobile due to this hypnotic string ask them to imagine that all the
tension of the string is secured in one line between their two hands, and the second you cut that
wire they will instantly relax totally and fall into a deep trance, but their legs will continue to support
them and they will remain standing.
7. Cut the wire, and pull their hands apart, command sleep and secure them, then deepen.

So there you have just a few instant induction ideas, try them all out, and integrate the advanced
skills you are about to learn in the other sections of this program into them to make them more
hypnotic and effective, and of course adapt and create your own techniques and just do what comes
to you in the moment.

Troubleshooting
If something seems to go wrong with one of your inductions just bear in mind these simple ideas and
options, which can also be applied to failed suggestions or routines (as after all, an induction
merely is just another type of suggestion):
Always act confident
Sometimes be prepared to admit failure, but use it as an opportunity to learn, ask the subject
questions and find out what happened.
Act as if the induction worked, have them close their eyes and do your deepener.
Move smoothly into another induction without faltering
Utilize their every given response and direct it towards a successful hypnotic outcome


Deepeners

Here are some fairly standard deepeners to get you started. Remember the best deepeners are
always what just comes to you in the moment, so just talk, and drop yourself into a trance and say
what pops into your head. These methods are just to get the ball rolling. With each deepener I have
simply given very basic and simplified examples. Do not use these as scripts. Use your own words if
you use these methods, and do it in a style that works for you. Also remember I often dont use
these deepeners, I just talk and merge induction, deepener and suggestion making it one powerful
process, not a haphazard collection of techniques. Use these as guidelines only and edit them as
much as you like.
Some of the main principles in the use of deepeners (which is a general term for intensifying the
hypnotic state) are setting of hypnotic triggers, creating expectation, the use of direct suggestion,
pacing and leading, embedded suggestions, confusion, relaxation, and fatigue of the nervous system.
All of these help to secure and intensify the state created by your induction. Any hypnotic
phenomena can be used as a deepener, which is explained further in the 'Suggestions and Routines'
section.

The Standard 10-1 Deepener
I am now going to count from 10 to 1, and when I reach 1 you will be in a deep state of trance,
easily responding to all suggestions and feeling good and comfortable as you continue to drift and go
deeper. 10, beginning to relax now, 9, going even deeper, 8 deeper and deeper, 7, focusing your
mind, 6, feeling peaceful and calm, 5 really noticing how easy it is to just allow yourself to drift... 4
feel yourself totally relax as we go down to 3, and know that at 1 lies the deepest state of relaxation,
2 already in deep trance, and 1, deep trance now, feeling good and preparing to easily accept all
suggestions given.

The elevator, staircase, pathway etc deepener
Combine the above 10-1 framework with some sensory descriptions and internal visualisations of a
stair case they are walking down, an elevator they are riding or a path they are walking to a room of
deepest peace and trance
(have them relax in a chair in that room when they reach it, and drift further down into trance) . The
use of metaphors like this can enhance the power of your deepeners, particularly if you engage
them in the new scene, (and notice the rail of the staircase, what is it made of? And how do the
stairs feel underneath your feet?).
The rapid 3 2 1 deepener.

This deepener, like all the others but here in particular, requires great confidence and personal
power on your part for it to be effective, as it is very brief, and uses very little language patterns or
other hypnotic devices, it is pure direct suggestion.
I am not going to count from 3 to 1, and when I reach one you will be 50 times deeper. 3, 2, 1, 50
times deeper.
The zero deepener

In a moment I will count from 5 to 0, and when I begin counting, I want you to see that zero way off
out there in the distance. As I begin counting I want you to begin moving toward that zero, getting
closer and closer with every number I count, and on the other side of that zero is a wonderful and
deep state of trance. 5, getting even closer to that big, powerful zero, 4 relaxing, going deeper,
feeling good as we go to 3, closer and closer to deepest trance, 2 that zero is so close now, 1 right in
front of that 0 and 0, through that 0 and out into the other side, noticing the changes this deepest
trance brings.

Simple Fractionation
Immediately following your induction do a quick '3, 2, 1, deeper, deeper, deeper' to stabilize the
trance. Give the command that "every time I say 'sleep', as long as it is safe to do so, you will
instantly enter deep trance, going 10 times deeper each time than the time before. Every time 10
times deeper." Now emerge them and use the 'sleep' command to re-induce. Do this 3 or 4 times.
Simple Trigger Deepener
Every time I touch you on the shoulder you will relax more and more, and go deeper into a trance,
focusing on my voice and noticing as the feeling you re beginning to experience intensifies now
(tap) deeper, (tap) deeper still (tap, tap, tap) all the way down, and continuing to feel good and go
deeper (tap)
Most of the deepeners I use I invent on the spot, and with practice you will be able to do the same.

Suggestions and Mini Routines

Here are some ideas to get you started about what you can do with people when you have them in
hypnosis. These are only the very basic suggestions, as more advanced ones will be covered on
future lessons. I tend to link all suggestions I give to the subject feeling good, and being happy and
successful. For example with an arm levitation and as your arm lifts you can feel good knowing that
it is a signal from your unconscious telling you that you can be successful, you can achieve your goals
and you truly can be happy in your own life. This helps to make the hypnosis experience more
powerful and positive for the subject.
Once again these are just some very basic ideas for simple things you can do with hypnosis. Please
be sure to think of your own, and adapt them to be more suited for the occasion you are in, i.e. to
do things that make them more entertaining, inspiring, educational, or transformational depending
on the circumstances.
Always be sure that you respect your subject, and never do anything to put them in any danger or to
make them feel any pain or fear. When leading into a suggestion it helps to say something like and
you will not be scared, you will in fact be inspired and motivated by this demonstration of the
incredible power of your own mind, and feel comfortable with what your unconscious is showing
you. As well as being a matter of ethics and safety, youll also find that this increases the
effectiveness of your suggestions. Remember, what you can do with hypnosis is virtually unlimited.
Do not restrict yourself to what I share here. Also make sure you undo all these suggestions when
you are finished!

Arm levitation
This is a great deepener and convincer / tester, and is also useful in piggybacking other suggestions
and as a platform to lead into more advanced phenomena.
Have them imagine that one of their arms is becoming light, very light, as if
1000 strong helium balloons were tied to their wrist and pulling their arm up, and their arm is
beginning to rise higher and higher and higher. As their arm rises give suggestions about it meaning
they are going deeper into trance etc, and use it as a platform for other suggestions
Eye Lock
Can be used as an induction, as mentioned earlier, but also a great deepener and convincer. Simply
have them imagine their eyes are relaxed to the point that they simply wont open, as if they were
totally glued shut.
Hand Stick
Place their hand on either a table or a wall and tell them that their hand is stuck, tightly locked down
and firmly attached to the surface, glued there and locked to the point where, no matter how hard
they were to try and unstick it, it would simply stick tighter. This is both an entertaining suggestion
and useful for building toward advanced phenomena by piggybacking other suggestions.

Amnesia
Have the subject forget their name, or age or a particular number. Use a reference experience such
as the tip of the tongue phenomenon (having a word or something you should know on the tip of
your tongue but not being able to find it) to prepare their mind, and then use direct and indirect
suggestion to have them forget what the number, name word or thing tha t you want forgotten.
Remember to give their name (or whatever it was) back at the end!

Hypnotic Laughter
Tell them that something normal, like a book or a hat or every word another friend says etc is
hilariously funny, the funniest thing they have ever come across, and they will laugh harder and
harder and harder every time they hear / look at it.
Hypnotic Journey
Take them on a hypnotic journey through their enhanced imagination, either with you guiding them
along or their unconscious creating the story and you merely enhancing it with your questions.
This is a great opportunity for you to explore unconscious creativity, and for you to help them
change by way of metaphor.

Awakeners
An awakener is the term used for what we do to emerge someone from hypnosis. Make sure you say
your awakener from a state of energy and cheerful alertness, as you say your deepeners whilst being
in a state or relaxation (more information on how to change your state will be covered in other
lessons) and make sure you do put the time in to give good long awakeners, otherwise you can leave
your subjects feeling daze d and confused.
You can say or do anything you like to emerge someone from hypnosis, but the best awakeners tend
to include the following:
Removal of all suggestions given during hypnosis that the subject does not want to keep with
them.
Creating the feeling of being energized and alert
Clearly telling the subject that now is the time to come back.
Leaving the subject feeling great

Heres an example:
I am now going to count from 1 to 3, with ever number I count you will find yourself becoming more
alert and aware, returning to pleasant and cheerful state of normal consciousness feeling happy and
relaxed. Everything will now be totally back to normal except that you will feel really good and find
that life just looks so much brighter because of your hypnotic experience. 1, beginning to emerge
now, 2 stretch out and feel good, 3 wide awake, fully alert, refreshed and feeling wonderful!

Safety
I am now going to give you some safety guidelines which you should always keep in mind when
doing hypnosis. These are just simple dos and donts which should ensure you dont encounter any
mishaps or disasters. Here I will also explain how to deal with some of the very rare problems which
sometimes happen to hypnotized people.
As a general rule, always have people securely seated when doing hypnosis. Only do standing
hypnosis when you are sure you could catch them just in case they fell, and be sure to constantly
give suggestions to the effect that they will remain standing securely no matter what.
Always remove all suggestions immediately after you have finished and return people totally back
to normal except for suggestions to feel happy and be successful and other safe and benign
suggestions which will have no surprising, risky or adverse effect and that the subject has consented
to beforehand.
Never use hypnosis to do anything immoral or illegal
Do not do anything that is beyond your skill or training
Never use hypnosis to cure pain, ie a headache unless they are under safe and controlled
circumstances. My official advice to you is to never use hypnosis for pain control, as pain is
an important signal and always has a purpose.
Dont be cruel or negative. That is dont hypnotize people to feel pain or suffering or any
kind of discomfort
Do not be violent when doing your inductions, be as gentle as possible. Be careful working
with people with neck or back problems or other
injuries
Never hypnotize anyone who is on medication, or who has a known psychiatric dysfunction
Always stick with your hypnotized people and be prepared to jump straight in and emerge
them immediately to safety just in case.
At this stage, avoid regressions or any kind of advanced remedial therapeutic techniques,
this will be covered more in the Hypnotic Problem Solver Set and other lessons.
If for some reason your subject should seem to experience an abreaction, that is become
distraught or upset in hypnosis and react badly, simply say something to the effect of You
are safe, returning now to a normal state of consciousness, everything is totally back to
normal, you are safe and fine and fully awake now.
If they should not emerge from trance upon your instructions do not worry. Trance is a
natural state and they cannot get stuck in it. Simply be firm, confident and authoritative
and command them to emerge. Or, if the circumstances are right, just allow them to enjoy
the state for a few more minutes. Some people give hypnotic threats ie if you do not
emerge now I will make it so you can never be hypnotized again. I would not recommend
this except as a last resort, and never carry out the threat. If all else fails just wake them as if
you would a sleeping person. I have hypnotized many, many people, and this has never
happened to me ever. I mention it just in case you ever run into this situation.
Control the crowd if you are doing this in public, and make sure they do not abuse or harm
the hypnotized person.


Remember if you exercise common sense and respect your subjects, as well as following these
guidelines, you should be fine.
