Agreed - this is a fine book (thanks Andy)!

A big thank you goes to Paul McKenna for bringing his latest series to Sky. Paul has demonstrated his techniques and brought both NLP and Hypnosis into the public eye. At last a programme showing genuine change work, warts and all. Well done Paul and thanks again on behalf of the whole Hypnosis/NLP Community.

If you want to know how the card and wallet illusions are done, I'd suggest you have a look at Kenton Knepper's material as they are both variations of routines he writes about. Also, Kreskin covers the wallet routine in his books. Other than that, confusional and pattern interrupts neatly demonstrated.

Good suggestion John. I might also suggest that you use the car as an anchor for that mentally alert state. You can test this by amplifying the state and anchoring it to the steering wheel (physically build the state and then step them inside the car and inside now, that mentally alert space).
I would also rehearse a couple of runs where the road becomes something fascinating and interesting at every level, compounded with "the more you drive, the more you feel yourself aware of the environment around your and outside the car" or similar.
Anchor ... that's the key to this type of change. Test the anchor and repeat several times because repeating several times helps the mind remember because it's been repeated several times ...

I sit on the Advertising Standards Authority Committee for Advertising Practice and have raised this as a formal complaint through the authority. This advert is downright dangerous: I have also advised the NCH to bring pressure from the professional hypnotherapy bodies. Stupid advert!

A recent client visited to resolve problems he had - namely, ME.
M.E. is a great name for an illness of any kind - I asked what ME meant to him and how he knew he had it ... after a few moments, standard modelling processes revealed that for this man to generate and maintain his 'ME' state, he needed to have a sarcastic voice at medium volume, right in between his ears! And NOTHING else - literally nothing else.
For happier states, he creates moving colourful pictures with full-blown audio and fully associates into that experience.
Both states were easily reproduced during his session with me. We started changing the ME state by changing the volume (major impact!), pitch, location and pitch (minor impact) - the frequency of dialogue had no impact at all. When we 'turned the light on' and started adding a beach, sun, sea, the sounds of the waves (letting the waves wash over the voice and carry it away) he started having difficulties in reproducing his ME state.
A few swishes later and all is well ...

I have already posted grief management metaphors (see the files section on this website) and would welcome tried and tested methods for self-help or therapeutic interventions. I have used EFT and similar techniques to help people move on - what works best for you?

What would it feel like if you were having the best Christmas ever? 
Where would those feelings start to happen?
And now, which way  do they travel?
Add a vibrant colour and a really loud WHOOPEEEE sound, complete with giggles in all the right places ... attach it to every partying cell in your body and AMPLIFY IT SOME MORE.
Anchor that to your smile and let it get more each time you use it.
Have a great Christmas and an even better 2005!

Is anyone performing over Christmas? If so, where and when?

With the Christmas season nearly upon us, I wondered whether people had specific seasonal uses for hypnosis. Do you?
