Street hypnosis, sometimes referred to as underground hypnosis, is an entertaining way to demonstrate your skill.
While street hypnosis can be a fun way to show hypnosis control, it can also pose some challenges.
First, distractions can become a stumbling block.
In order to perform underground hypnosis, you must have a willing participant, just as in therapeutic hypnotic therapy.
They must undergo stage hypnosis, just as in an office.
However, with other people around, cars passing by, and other distractions, it can be difficult to have the participant gain focus.
A possible way to combat this is to using typical stage hypnosis, in which you would gradually initiate a hypnotic trance, just as in an office.
Once hypnosis control has been attained, the suggestions that you would use would be to ignore the distractions and to focus solely on your voice.
Passersby might try to ruin your performance by testing you, intentionally trying to sabotage your performance, but you must remain professional.
In order to perform street hypnosis, you must have a firm grasp on hypnosis in general and be confident in your ability.
If distractions do jeopardize your demonstration, continue to invoke stage hypnosis, gradually deepening hypnosis control on your subject.
A good practitioner of underground hypnosis will have made sure that their subject was sufficiently under hypnosis control before beginning their demonstration.
Time is also a challenge in street hypnosis.
In an office, a hypnotist has enough time to put the subject through stage hypnosis, but when performing street hypnosis, stage hypnosis may be rushed.
This puts the performer in a time crunch.
To overcome this, focus on the words you're using, and don't waste time.
It's fine to add some showmanship into the performance, but remember, you are a professional and are demonstrating your skill.
It's better for you if you forgo the fireworks and show your actual skill than to include a bunch of glitz and make mistakes.
