Summary: Be careful when reading customer reviews
Review: The book has a few hypno scripts and that's it. (hypno scripts are available everywhere from the net for FREE)

Unfortunately he is not Professor Svengali and his real name is David Geliebter, again if the name is real at all. When an author does not even put his/her real name on the cover of a book, it sure tells something about the quality of it, especially with reader reviews filled with phrases such as "Must buy it" or "The Best Book."

If I were to spend my hard earned money on learning hypnosis, the best is to learn it from a real person and stick with books written by the real professional such as Ormond McGill. Also always check out net resources (e.g. FAQ) for hypno book recommendation before buying any.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good book, but think of this first...
Review: This book is a good book for hypnosis. It could use a few more scripts, though. Personally I don't believe it matters whether you buy this book or another one. Hypnosis is in you. It's in your subject. It's whether you and your subject believe it will work. The first book I read on the subject was "Hypnosis for Beginners" by William Hewett, and it worked the first time around. I sincerely believe if you are looking for quick answers or to make someone jump around like a kangaroo and bark like a dog at the same time, you'll have severe difficulty hypnotizing people. It requires a certain level of professionalism. I have since started my own hypnosis practice and have had success. It's a great trade to learn, but you must come to it seriously. If you think you'll pick it up over night and make your buddies act like little girls with a snap of your fingers, you're sadly mistaken.

Summary: Buy it NOW! It worked first time around!
Review: This book is a true gem. Despite the authors inability to spell and punctuate, it serves it's purpose. A collegue of mine is a certified hypnosis instructor and offers classes and is able to certify and license people. He was skeptical, but after reading this book, and with no... classes, I pased his test and am now a certified hypnotist. By following the book's instruction carefully, I truly believe anyone can hypnotise people. Since buying this book, I have tried over 50 times to hypnotise people and have never failed! I am the hit of every party and you can be too. GET THIS BOOK!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Throrough, complete explanations
Review: This book is an excellent introduction to hypnotism, with thorough and complete step-by step explanations. It also suggests many funny aplications of hyponis for stage shows. The book is poorly written and has several spelling mistakes, but it serves its purpose.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Book for Aspiring Stage Hypnotists
Review: This book is fun and easy to read. It has a wide selection of suggestibility tests, inductions and routines for stage hypnosis. It does not deal with therapeutic aspects of hypnosis.

Even if you're not interested in stage hypnosis, you can still benefit from learning suggestibility tests and inductions. Using suggestibility tests will make a great difference when you're using hypnosis on others because they help you to discover the level of rapport you have with the person, the person's willingness and ability to use his imagination, and they also serve as "convicers" for the person that he has been "hypnotized", making the person more receptive to further suggestions. In the end, suggestibility tests, determine the person's willingness to play along at any given time. If they are not in mood to play along at one time, they may be in better mood to play along at some other time - so you don't need to make any definite conclusions regarding the hypnotizability of a particular person. Everyone is hypnotizable - just different people may prefer to get into a trance in a different ways at different times.

The book continues with different inductions and deepeners you can use. It's good to experiment with all of them as they can all come in handy at some point. The variety of methods will also keep learning hypnosis fun.

After the section of routines you can do in stage hypnosis, there is a small section of self-hypnosis - how you can use hypnosis to deal with some common issues. There is much more both to stage hypnosis, and to applications of hypnosis, so when you're finished with this book - keep learning.

When you're done with this book, if you want to learn more about "stage hypnosis" get Ormond McGill's Encyclopedia of Hypnosis.
