One thing that I get asked a lot is, “How do you approach people to ask if they want to be hypnotized?” Most of the time, I don’t.
When you want to do hypnosis for practice – on the street, in a mall, at the park, whatever – have a sign that says “Free Hypnosis Today”, or something similar.
Or, as an alternative, wear a name badge that says something like “Hello: my name is [fill in your name], and I will be your HYPNOTIST!”
Either of these can be done on a laser or inkjet printer at almost no cost. Then when you get to your ‘practice site’ just look around – making sure passers by can see your name badge or sign – for those people who look interested or actually come up to you and ask questions.
These are the people that you want to practice on. First, because in all likelihood they are somnambulists; and second, because you are far less likely to be run off as a nuisance to businesses in the area.
Now some have asked why they would want to do this at all. And my response is rule number 2 that I give all my students… PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!
If you really want to be a powerful, effective hypnotist, the best way to get there is to practice as much as possible, and to PLAY and realize for yourself just how powerful hypnosis really is.
Until next time…

Jeff,
When I fist got into hypnosis I studied everything I could find to learn about it, but it wasn’t until I actually went out and did hypnosis before I actually knew anything. Books and videos and even classes are only beneficial to a degree. Actual hands on practice is where the most learning is done.
I could not agree more. Learning has no value without the doing.
