Outlines
๐งโโ๏ธ The Misconceptions of Hypnosis
This paragraph addresses the varied public perceptions of hypnosis, ranging from comedic acts of turning people into chickens to fears of mind control and sinister influences. It challenges the idea that hypnosis is a mere trick or fake by suggesting that it could be very real, with applications in stage performances, therapy, accelerated learning, and even surgical procedures. The speaker proposes a simple test involving hypnotic inductions to demonstrate hypnosis's potential reality, pondering the audience's skepticism and historical misunderstandings, including the infamous case of Franz Mesmer and the subsequent scientific rejection of his practices.
๐ Hypnotic Inductions and Audience Participation
The speaker engages the audience in a series of hypnotic inductions, starting with a visual focus on a spiral and deep breathing exercises. The process is designed to induce a relaxed state, with participants instructed to close their eyes and experience a sensation of heaviness. The audience is then challenged to try and open their eyes against the hypnotic suggestion, with some unable to do so. Those who are more susceptible to hypnosis are invited on stage for further demonstrations, highlighting the idea that hypnosis can affect different people in various ways and that highly imaginative individuals, such as top athletes, may be more prone to hypnotic suggestions.
๐ด Exploring Hypnotic Sleep and its Phenomena
This section delves into the concept of hypnotic sleep, which appears similar to regular sleep but is suggested to be a unique state of being awake and alert. The speaker explores the idea that this state might be akin to sleep paralysis, where the body is paralyzed to prevent physical actions during dreams. The audience is shown examples of hypnotic sleep, including participants who, despite appearing asleep, can still respond to commands. The speaker also suggests that the state of hypnotic sleep could be related to the REM stage of sleep, which is when most dreaming occurs, hinting at a deeper neurological connection.
๐ฅท Hypnosis and the Power of Suggestion
The speaker discusses the power of suggestion under hypnosis, demonstrating how participants can be influenced to act or react in certain ways, such as shouting 'it's fake' or laughing upon hearing the word 'hypnotism'. This part of the script showcases the potential for hypnosis to be used in programming behaviors or responses, and it also touches on the idea that the audience might already be in a trance, responding to the hypnotist's cues without realizing it. The focus is on the hypnotist's ability to guide subjects into various states and elicit specific reactions.
๐ Hypnotic Role-Playing and Therapeutic Applications
In this paragraph, the speaker uses hypnosis to engage participants in role-playing scenarios, such as becoming a kung fu master or an animal like a chicken or a cat. This demonstrates the imaginative capacity of the human mind to accept and act upon hypnotic suggestions. The speaker also addresses the therapeutic potential of hypnosis by suggesting that subjects can overcome fears or change behaviors, such as no longer being afraid of cucumbers. The segment includes humorous and light-hearted demonstrations, emphasizing the versatility of hypnosis.
๐ญ The Finale: Hypnosis as a Universal Human Experience
The speaker concludes by emphasizing that hypnosis is not just a tool for professionals but a shared human capability. They suggest that the state of hypnosis is a fundamental and recuperative part of the human experience, akin to dreaming. The participants who were hypnotized are brought back to their normal state with the promise of feeling refreshed and unaware of their on-stage experiences until a specific trigger word is spoken. The speaker leaves the audience with the thought that hypnosis is a profound and mysterious aspect of human potential that remains largely unexplored.

Transcripts
you
I just want to say you know as somebody
who also works in the fields of hypnosis
and stage hypnosis I've always surprised
by the way the general public sees it I
would I believe that most people
probably see hypnosis is really about
you know turning people into chickens
basically and another thing if you ask
somebody who's a little bit let's say a
little more paranoid that you'll find
out that hypnosis is really about mind
control and you talk to somebody who's a
little more traditional and you'll find
out that hypnosis is really about sin
and something's quasi diabolical here's
an example of a son Gally who is a 20th
century film star who is a evil
hypnotist now even among the scientific
community there's been studies that show
serious studies that show that there is
no such thing as hypnosis that the
hypnotic state does not actually exist
and I think that even if you talk to
let's say educated people such as
yourselves that you'll find out when you
boil it down that hypnosis appears to be
some kind of magician's trick mind trick
and that when you boil it down it's
ultimately completely and totally fake
now what if I said to you that if we
don't understand hypnosis is it possible
that we could be being hypnotized right
now
you basically don't know so I'm gonna
make a suggestion let's call it a
hypnotic suggestion i suggest you that
hypnosis is entirely real in fact stage
hypnosis is real and hypnotherapy is
real here's an example of some of the
many things that are treated with
chemotherapy as well not only that but
accelerated learning by hypnosis is real
and the hypnotic bar as previously
mentioned a bar where people are
hypnotized to be completely drunk
while they remain absolutely sober is
also real
hypno surgery where you can be operated
on while completely awake is also real
and of course absolutely that being
turned into a chicken under hypnosis is
also completely real maybe I could start
off by saying there's good reason why we
don't understand hypnosis and these are
some of the reasons we go way back in
time probably the first hypnotist were
shamans aboriginal and native shamans
here's an example a real example from
1914 but Shawna's generally didn't share
their secrets
there's one man who really put hypnosis
on the map and that's this guy Anton
Mesmer an Austrian doctor he was so
influential that the word to be
entranced to be mesmerised is from his
name Mesmer Mesmer was the talk of paris
and in the 1780s more than three
thousand people a day would often go
visit Mesmer to be healed he would do
strange incantations he would appear to
knock people out he would give them and
hold them with magnets and thousands of
people would come to see him regularly
now this attracted the attention of the
medical establishment of the time and
they put pressure on the king of France
Louis xvi who actually organized a Royal
Commission to investigate Mesmer which
was led by this guy Benjamin Franklin
now the interesting thing about Benjamin
Franklin is at that time he was the
ambassador to France and also a great
scientist and he and another group of
scientific luminaries got together and
they investigated Mesmer they
concluded that there was nothing to
Mesmer's claims that he was not really
healing people and as a result
Mesmer was treated and named a fraud and
a charlatan in fact here's some popular
artwork at the time that shows Mesmer
being sent to the fires of obscurity by
the light of Reason science and justice
I would say that till this day as a
result hypnosis hypnotism lives in the
shadows in fact if you go to a bookstore
often in North America or Canada and ask
for books and hypnotism you'll usually
be referred to the occult section so
this is why hypnosis remains in the
realm of the fake now if that's true if
hypnosis is fake can I propose maybe a
simple test that basically we perform
right here this is a quasi scientific
formula that we perform a series of very
simple hypnotic inductions and maybe
some hypnotic suggestions and we see
what happens if if not if no if hypnosis
is fake then nothing will happen if it's
real then I guess we'll see is that okay
okay alright so if anybody is nervous
and there always is a few people that
are nervous I can suggest to you that
you can avoid this process by simply
ignoring my instructions for the next
three minutes simply ignore my
instructions and you'll be fine for the
rest of you I'll just suggest you that
right now you put your feet flat on the
floor so focus on the center of the
spiral and now I'll ask you to take a
deep breath in take a deep breath in
watch as the spiral moves very good and
now take another deep breath in straight
up towards the ceiling and now allow
your eyes to just slowly blink on the
count of three two one you can blink now
very good and asking to blink one more
time and blink now reopen your eyes and
as you do as my hand drops you're gonna
feel your eyes getting heavier your
eyelids are going to get heavier heavier
and a few seconds you'll just allow them
to close three two one you can shut your
eyes now beautiful as you close your
eyes you get a very deep relaxed feeling
and that allows you to feel like almost
like your eyelids are melting into your
cheeks you're so relaxed and calm and in
fact your eyes are going to close
tighter and tighter that they are now
shut very good the more you try to open
your eyes the more they will stay shut
you can try to open your eyes but the
more they stay shut and as few seconds
I'll ask you to do a test and see if you
can open your eyes but the more you try
the more they are shut right now get
anybody open their eyes
very good now on the count of three you
will be opened your eye you will be able
to open your eyes if you can't let's go
one two three now you can open your eyes
beautiful who could not open their eyes
just now who could not put up your hand
if you don't mind could put up your hand
okay good the people who could not open
their eyes I miss gesture you come up on
the stage for the next part of our
experiment you could not open your eyes
come on up the stairs are over there the
stairs over there come on up
you could not open your eyes very good
people that are more hypnotizable are
often more imaginative some of the
greatest athletes in the world are very
hypnotizable they're often strong and
brilliant and beautiful as these people
clearly are so now just gonna do a
little bit of an experiment though if
you guys don't mind so I'm just gonna
ask you to stare at the light that
little light at the end of the room
right there very good now here's the
interesting thing I didn't ask you sir
just to put your hand out put your hand
out and push down in my hand push down
my hand harder harder harder sleep all
the way in dropping down all the way
relax and sleeping and ask you right
back here
very good I'm gonna ask you just to push
your hands out like this
very good don't worry don't worry feels
good just push your hands up like this
if you don't mind
ready go take a deep breath in stare at
that light you focus very good focus
deeper three two one sip all the way and
dropping down to sleep
beautiful very good some people are not
gonna react now just what your hands go
down hand goes down up down and now
sleep beautiful very good now this next
person very good we do something this is
a new induction that we developed for
TEDx actually it's called a TEDx
induction just stare at that spiral and
ask you to put your hands up like this
like an X that's right except facing the
other way beautiful now stare at the
light take a deep breath in and relax
hands a little more straight very good
as it cut me down it lets you didn't
notice that your heart is beating
because you're on stage all these people
are looking at you look at the light and
just focus on the light take a deep
breath in relax them sleep all the way
in very good rock them down all the way
very good relax and calm now
I'll explain I'll explain in a second
okay sir
same thing push your hands out like this
deep breath in
just watch my hand go down just watch it
right here go down down down down sweep
all the way up drop him down all the way
very good excellent
shake your hand breath in and sleep all
the way and drop him down all the way
very good person okay right now I'm
gonna say a word when you understand
what that word means it's gonna happen
to you you understand so just there at
that spiral Sara that lights why right
there and I say the word SL e t sleep
beautiful very good excellent person I'm
just gonna ask both you to stick your
hands up like this both of you deep
breath in stare at the spiral and
everybody sweep all the way up very good
nothing a beautiful and you can just
rock down and sleep it's okay very good
excellent
you're so amazing and just say
sleeping's gonna happen very good
dropping down excellent I'm gonna leave
these people up here so you can
experience are you okay for being up
okay so what these people are
experiencing is something that we call
hypnotic sleep hypnotic sleep is
actually they appear to be sleeping but
I'm gonna suggest you that that is not
true they are not actually sleeping
here's some examples and they show some
examples if not its sleep so here's some
examples of hypnotic sleep and one of
the reasons why we don't understand
hypnotic sleep is we tend to focus on
the hypnotist and not the people who are
actually sleeping so now I'm gonna go a
little bit closer take a look I'm gonna
suggest to you that these people are in
a very interesting state now do they
look like they're sleeping and I'm gonna
suggest to you that they are actually
awake and alert if you can hear my voice
and you know what's going on you have
the power to lift a finger on your right
hand you can do that now if you can hear
my voice you can lift a finger on your
right hand now beautiful take a deep
breath in and relax and now go back to
sleep
beautiful relaxing all the way they are
actually still here they haven't gone
anywhere I'm going to suggest to you
that right now these people are in a
state that is akin to what you might
call sleep paralysis sleep paralysis is
a state where we feel like we are
sleeping but actually every night when
you go to sleep you become paralyzed by
your own body so that if you dream that
you are running or falling or jumping
you don't actually jump out of your bed
or run out of your bed so this state is
right now sleep paralysis you notice
that people are quite relaxed and limp
okay so let's do a little bit of an
experiment
let's do a bit of an experiment right
now and I'm going to suggest at this
point that people are very open to
suggestions so maybe I'll start with
this fellow read here when you hear the
word hypnotism person I'm touching me
now when you hear the word hypnotism
you will shout it's fake
when you hear the word hypnotism you
will shout it's fake when you hear the
word hypnotism you will start laughing
you will shout I am in complete control
of all my actions do a bit of an
experiment and I must try something else
there probably people in the audience
right now that are actually in trance so
I can ask you to take a deep breath in
anybody the audience and you can go
right back to sleep
beautiful anyone the audience is relaxed
and sleepy so anyone in the audience who
hears the word hypnotism will also shout
it's fake okay very good so now coming
back into the room feeling refreshed and
relaxed remaining in trance on the count
of three two one when I snap my fingers
now when I am talking right now about
hypnotism fake what I'm trying to
illustrate is that something hypnotism
is not it's not it's not well understood
okay it's not well understood what do
you think of hypnotism big if I could
just ask this person for a second what
do you think of it clearly clearly you
do now
I'm going to show you something in my
right hand I have a sleep gun this is a
gun it cannot hurt you
but when I shoot you with this gun
you're gonna go right back into a deep
and relaxing sleep on the count of three
two one bang sleep and bang sleep and
bang sleep very good so these people are
in a very relaxed state these are sort
of our all-stars here now I suggest you
there's something very interesting going
on with these people and it's something
if you want to look at it it's actually
in the eyes now I don't know if you can
see it clearly but you see this person
right here can you see it their eyes are
actually flickering now why would their
eyes are flicking on to suggest
something interesting that their eyes
are actually rolled up in their heads
now why would that happen isn't that
kind of weird and I'm going to suggest
you let's go back to our friend the
shaman look at the shaman his eyes are
also rolled up you can look at here is
it a little bit closer you can see a
little bit closer and now let me show
you something else that sometimes when
people are in this state you can see his
eyes are flickering the people are in
this state that they they sometimes
remain with their eyes open that looks a
little bit like this now look a little
bit closer
and of course we get an effect that
looks almost diabolical in fact this is
straight out of the Exorcist and it may
explain this stereotype so now let me
show something let's go back right here
and let me suggest to you that there's
probably a reason why this state
actually occurs and maybe I'll start
with this person right here that is it
possible that the original hypnotist to
use the stereotype of hypnotist somebody
uses a pendulum that goes back and forth
but that pendulum going back and forth
is doing something particular to the
eyes let's do a little bit an experiment
this is a induction developed by Mike
Mandel a Canadian hammer test I can ask
you man if you don't mind if you can
just sit up for a second I snap my
fingers you can sit up now I'm just
gonna ask you just to look at my finger
right watch it keep your head steady and
watch it go back forth back forth your
eyes get heavier and a few seconds they
will just close back forth now you can
just go relax to sleep beautiful look at
her eyes are flickering so she has
entered a state and I hope that this is
kind of sciency she's entered a state
that is very similar to REM now is it
possible that what hypnosis is doing is
jump-starting the actual REM State now
to show you perhaps an interesting
example of why this must mat might
matter let me show you a video take a
look at this
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so I know that's a pretty ridiculous
video but let me explain this actually
something very profound going on here
and that is there's actually a
veterinarian rodent wrote an article for
the newspaper that explained that what's
actually going on here is that cats are
actually reliving traumas they're not
but here's the weird thing
why are cats afraid of cucumbers because
cucumbers remind them of what or look
like what snakes exactly
they look like snakes but hold on a
second with domestic cats in North
America or in Kingston anywhere like
that would they ever encounter a snake
no never so why would domestic cats all
seemingly be programmed to already be
afraid of snakes that they've never met
the explanation very simply is that
professor Michel Juba experimental
medicine the University of Lyon the
sixties did a series of experiments he's
called the Christopher Columbus of
dreams and his theory is that mammals
are all mammals while they're in the
womb basically enjoy a powerful REM
state a dream state that dream state may
be essential to programming us to be
what we are so cats would be programmed
to be afraid of snakes while in the womb
that would be an explanation for why
they are now afraid of cucumbers even
though they never encounter snakes that
make sense so now is it possible that
hypnosis is us hacking in to this actual
dream state and let's take a look here's
a here's a here's a common experiment
you probably remember the movie the
matrix and the matrix neo is programmed
to know kung fu it's advanced technology
helps them know kung fu and I'm going to
suggest to you that we can do something
like that today I'll take this person
right here you are a kung fu master now
and you're going to demonstrate a new
form of kung fu in the red dot known as
TEDx a powerful dramatic form of kung fu
you will always remain safe and you will
not push your body beyond its known
limits you are also a kung fu master you
will perform an even more dramatic form
known as TEDx squared
you will also always remain safe and you
will perform your kung fu exhibition
right after the first one so I can ask
this person to come back to the room in
the count of three two one mice at my
fingers please meet the master of Kung
Fu right now sure you want demonstrating
the rare and beautiful TEDx form
hi what he cook
Sara coming back to the room now you are
a kung-fu master you will beat that come
that incredible demonstration that you
only heard you're going to perform this
is the form now known as TEDx squared
thank you now I want to take us from in
conclusion maybe back to the the chicken
what is really truly amazing actually is
that when I do hypnosis shows I used to
avoid ever turning people into chickens
because it's cliche and silly but then I
actually learned something amazing when
you do the research there's something
amazing about people being chicken so
I'm gonna do a demonstration deep breath
and relax and sleep beautiful
maybe Tara you can go read like to sleep
beautiful very good you are a chicken
Peck and you say macaw you do all the
chickeny things you are a chicken that's
right you do all the chickeny things
you're a great amazing chicken you madam
are a cat you are cat and you're very
much like a cat now
[Applause]
chickens can come out you can step up
here now one thing about chickens and
cats
[Laughter]
[Applause]
now I'll just ask you remind you as
chickens and cats you have been
programmed to be mortally afraid of
cucumbers if you see an image if you see
a picture or an image of a cucumber you
will scream you will scream anyone sees
a picture of a cucumber here will scream
now cat do you see the chickens sure do
you see the chickens
[Applause]
now I'm going to ask all of you you
don't mind to direct your attention to
the screen
[Applause]
sorry ok ok it's alright it's alright
it's alright go back to your you can go
back to your that's right you can go
back I'm gonna make a suggestion now
[Applause]
here's a simple demonstration of
hypnotherapy now when you see a cucumber
you will no longer scream you will only
laugh you'll laugh incredibly hard
you'll be unable to stop laughing now
[Laughter]
[Applause]
[Laughter]
very good you can have a seat right now
so I'm gonna give you Tara I'm gonna
give you the sleep gun here's a gun and
what we do take this gun I want you to
shoot the cat over there I want you to
shoot him he won't be hurt you're gonna
go into a deep relaxed state and then
I'm gonna ask you to shoot yourself okay
and go into a deep and relaxed state so
here's a sleep gun right now you can
just make a loud bang that's all shoot
the cat over there if you don't mind go
into a deep relaxed state and sleep
beautiful very good when you shoot him
he'll go into a deep relaxed state very
good
okay now I know that we all laugh at the
guy and has stands for the person that
becomes a chicken but actually this
shows a very profound and amazing aspect
of humanity humans have the ability
unlike other mammals apparently to dream
just about anything we can imagine
ourselves as chickens as aliens as any
kind of weird associated thought or or
feeling and that really shows why humans
have such a powerful and it's a sonnet
to some extent limitless imagination I'm
going to suggest to you that hypnosis
itself remains completely uncharted it
is still misunderstood and that the
state that these people are in when they
come out of the state they're going to
feel wonderfully refreshed and relaxed
that's because with hypnosis we hack
into the fundamental programming state
which also happens to be a state that is
itself tremendously recuperative this
dreaming state is tremendously
recuperative and healthy and you're
going to see these people will come out
of it feeling very healthy relaxed and
clear so in conclusion I wish want to
say hypnosis is not the preserve of
hypnotist or hypnotherapist even it is
the common massive and amazing
inheritance of all humanity and that's
something that the world needs to know
so in conclusion the people that are in
a hypnotic state and the people that
includes the people in the audience if
you're hypnotized in a few seconds
you'll come back into the room you're
going to feel refreshed and relaxed and
wonderful you've done an amazing job
you're really incredible and magical
when you come back in the room you're
gonna feel refreshed relax no longer
hypnotized there's only one catch you'll
have no idea what happened while you
were on this stage you will forget
everything that happened to you on this
stage until you hear me say the word
fake then everything will come flooding
back to you you remember everything and
you will laugh okay so I would just like
to say in conclusion I hope today that I
have demonstrated that hypnosis is
totally and completely fake
thank you very much
[Applause]
