Hypnosis Induction | Handshake Inductions - Bandler, Erickson & Elman | Trance Induction | NLP

The legendary 'handshake interrupt' induction... There seems to be much interest in this in the worlds of Hypnosis (Hypnotism) and NLP, but what many people don't realise is that what is most often shown as Milton Erickson's handshake interrupt, is actually NLP co-founder Richard Bandler's version (Derren Brown often uses a variation on the Bandler version, that is a little more abrupt than the handlings shown here). In addition to that, almost nobody realises that Hypnosis Legend Dave Elman also had a handshake induction all of his own!
Develop Hypnotic Mastery: www.hypnosiswit...
This video discusses the difference between the three, and also demonstrates the handling for the Erickson and Bandler versions.
Note: hypnosis is NOT mind control - it is the subtle utilisation of psychological and cognitive factors. Influence but not control.

Enjoyed the inductions. There are a number of different Erickson handshake inductions I've heard him describe or seen him demonstrate - 1. Ambiguous touch induction - going in for the handshake then ambiguously releasing whilst talking (and gazing through) with the subject as he slowly taps the hand with his fingers and releases the hand so gently the client doesn't notice the point he has let go and their arm is cataleptic. 2. Arm catalepsy version where he introduces himself, normally a little way into the interaction as if it is an afterthought of something he forgot to do, as the hands are about to meet he takes the hand gently with the other hand and ignores the handshake so that the subject ignores the handshake, and slides his hand out gently. I love the video where he does this to a volunteer subject, asks her if she is hypnotised, she responds with 'I don't think so, I don't feel hypnotised', he replies saying her words back to her, and then follows up with 'so do you normally keep your arm up in the air like that' and then directs her attention to her arm and notices following the handshake it is still in the air. I've known some sales people who like this specific version. 3. In a paper Erickson wrote about pattern interrupt inductions he described a man heckling from the audience about hypnosis is all rubbish and how Erickson couldn't hypnotise him. Erickson agrees and gradually encourages the man to come up on stage to 'prove it'. As the man paces across the stage towards Erickson, he paces towards the man, puts his arm out as if to shake hands, the man does the same, just as the hands are about to meet Erickson drops to one knee quickly not completing the handshake, looks up at the man and says 'that's right, and you can continue going all the way deeply and comfortably into hypnosis' (or a similar sentence, I'm not reading the article at this moment) and the man drops deeply into hypnosis standing there on stage. His main use for the induction outside of demonstrations was with 'resistant' clients where he would 'try' to do the therapy, would fail, would then see them out of his office, at this point they would assume he has failed and therapy is over, just as they left his office he would say 'thank you for coming in' and put his arm out, do a handshake induction, before walking them back into his office and doing the therapy now he has got their resistance out the way... There are more descriptions in his dozens of hours of video footage, audio lectures and thousands of pages of articles etc, but these are probably the main ones. I like them (mainly for demonstrations) because they are very quick and not as 'shocking' as other rapid inductions...

[@TheTrippnotist]

+Dan Jones Hypnosis Thank you for sharing some of your deep knowledge here, Dan! (just recently started reading your book BTW... and liking it!)

[@AntonSlavik]

Never enjoyed a KZbin comment so immensely

[@griffithf.k.4136]

Wow. You sound like the real deal.

[@StephanieConkle]

I appreciate how you teach that the handshake interrupt does not have to be a shock induction and needs to be pre-framed to be most effective. Most importantly, it can be done in a gentle way. Well done, James!

[@TheTrippnotist]

+Stephanie Conkle Thank you, Stephanie!

I think it is imortant to share: 1 ) In general don't get into hypnotizing friends and family. Not that it can't be done but unless you are confident and capable you are much better off working with other budding hypnotist. 2) There are many depths of trances. Don't be intimidated by the concept of inducing a trance. People are in various levels of trance all day long. Explain to potential subjects that they are in a trance when watching a movie, reading a good book etc. The challenge is in the next step: deepening the level. All hypnosis is SELF HYPNOSIS. Things is HUGE. If you are really interested start with self hypnosis so you know what you are trying to accomplish with another person. Next , join a group or attend a seminar so you can practice on other willing, serious individuals with similar goals. Bottom line: All hypnosis is self hypnosis. We all go in and out of trances continuously. Not the Dracula movie myth.... I do this professionally and assure you it isn't Rocket Science but it definetly requires practice of what you learn and the confidence to instruct others. Hope this helps!

[@sederquest]

MAX ON just don't do it, it can cause psychological harm

[@JustMe-ux4sl]

sederquest Absolute rubbish!

[@sederquest]

Just Me what is rubbish? I wasn't exactly clear on what I meant

[@UnstoppableTramp]

Well it didn't help, you have just put your hand up and said, "I am full of shit too and get paid for it."

[@votremain]

I think that was an excellent spin on an often misunderstood induction. the clarification was brilliant, thanks!

[@hypnofan1]

I love the details you include, even the ones you don't talk about, like finally finishing a handshake to show that you're really ending the trance.

[@Stargateseven2]

I learned the technique from Bandler and Grinder. Helped a friend in Santa Fe win $24.000 on a slot machine at a casino about 15 miles from Santa Fe. When I was going thru NLP TRAINING 34 years ago, one of the doctors from a very famous college brought six MD'S from the college, they were lined up, I went to each one did the induction, they asked when is it going to happen, I said try to lower your arm, they couldn't, then I walked over and touched each one's arm and they were able to so. To make a long story short, IT WORKS,

[@HypnoDaddy]

I liked this video at 2.56 and also subscribed this channel....because I was in SHOCK...!

[@fintechingbr]

Thank you for all your videos! It's really amazing. I'm proud to say that i will be in the first promotion of NLP professionals and couching here in Argentina because now it's a 3 years career, recognized in our education system. Now we are starting to see hypnosis and you'll be our refference since now ;) You should make a congress here!

[@chuanist]

'Where did Erickson do the handshake induction'? In the halls, at lunch, anywhere. The contact he was able to use was normal social interactions consisting of well defined sets of expected behaviors. People did not expect to be hypnotized, they just were.

[@DaydreamingCrow]

Goodness! Thank you for that link to this video sir. This is so much nicer and more pleasant than other videos I've seen. Pretty much all of them intact. Thank you for putting so much emphasis on it not being based in shock or forceful.

[@rakad119]

It actually f*cking worked!

[@TheTrippnotist]

Hi mindfreak37172. "I'm 14 and I've been interested in hypnosis, now is it a good idea to try at school" That is a decision you will have to make yourself. (A good idea according to whom? And by what criteria?)

[@IsrarTaj83]

@ James Tripp, can you upload a version showing the ELMAN version, please?

[@TheTrippnotist]

Hi IsrarTaj83. I don't do the Elman version, as it is not an 'induction' I personally like and it don't find it gelling well with my style. But, who knows? Maybe I'll have a change of heart some day!

[@IsrarTaj83]

OK, Thanks anyway.

[@omgmental3319]

JamesTrippTV can u do a full tutorial on only handshakes and do it on people...im 16 and im really starting into magic and hypnotism so i really wanna learn every thing i can...

[@Chizuru94]

I jumped straight to that part and had a similar experience, thanks :D Came back to watch the full video now and same thing. As effective as ever :)

[@DJKickstarter]

I have found that asking the client to pay attention to all the details in his/her hand is bringing them into perfect focus and into trance.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Hi DJKickstarter. Try having the client focus on the space between the hand and the eyes. As per Dr Les Fehmi's work (The Open Focus Brain) this is highly conducive to drawing the client into 'synchronous alpha'.

[@guesswho36]

I literally jumped when he said "wowow"

[@azzumaharzan438]

[@sherv1c]

I paused the video and when i came back and played it again I got the shock :)

[@TheTrippnotist]

Hi Gennaro. I would say EVERYONE is ALWAYS in a constantly altering state of mind... the question with regard to hypnosis is: 'how and which way to steer it?' This chap was indeed a quite capable 'hypnotic subject' :)

[@denisraftis]

CityofAngels There is only one thing that exceeds your bad manners and that is your bad manners. Expertly from my 20 years experience with sales hypnosis James's teaching style is really authentic. Denis Raftis

[@8o8inSquares]

Thank you very much for explaining! This handshake is the one I've been interested in and I can feel how it works. Especially thanks for explaining about the shock induction, I definitely don't want to do do shock inductions, I want the victim to be relaxed all the time

[@TheTrippnotist]

8o8inSquares You are most welcome 8o8... thank you for commenting!

[@KuroSaber]

8o8inSquares "Victim" ... I'm a bit worried now.

[@DJKickstarter]

That's a good one, however when I use the spot on the wall I also like to make the client imagine a picture/movie of his/her favorite memory or something positive that fills a lot in the clients life, there is not a handful of ways but thousands all you have to do is use your imagination.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thanks for your support there Denis - much appreciated! :-) J.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Hi Stoney. I think I mentioned in the vid that this kind of thing tends to work best in situations where the pre-framing is taken care of, like seminars etc, and that it is less useful 'impromptu'. That said, it is not the 'induction' that hypnotises, it is the hypnotist! Also, remember, hypnosis is NOT mind control, it is an influence art and it is imperfect (this is why stage hypnotists are stage hypnotists and not world leaders or super villains... or both :-) )

[@ramalingamv.m5774]

Simple and smooth. James Tripp is excellent. I want to learn more by practicing hypnosis.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Ramalingam V.M Why, thank you! Learn... practise... hypnosis is fun and educational!

[@SidneyJupiter]

Derren brown did this in the assassin, I have absolutely no idea how he did it

[@TheTrippnotist]

[@walkernick86]

DB oooozes confidence, intent and expectation. That's the main reason it works. Also, DB is now seen as a hypnosis and mind control GOD... and that really helps! Derren could literally fart, and it would put people into a trance!! lol!

Hi Carlo. I don't really know much about those guys work, but obviously, there are many people who have influenced me in my style and approach to hypnosis. If you google 'influences on hypnosis without trance' you will be able to find out more.

Hi Haris. Great advice! On the Rapid Induction Rituals DVD's I talk a lot about the pros and cons of using the 'sleep' command. Generally, I don't use it... and when I do I am very specific in 'managing away' it's shortcomings.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thanks for the advice LA Boy, but I think I'll stick with it, as it is working out just fine.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Yes breksbruno, that can happen. The trick is to roll with it without fear and awkwardness. Then you can really start to learn and grow :-) Awkwardness doesn't come from the situation, it comes from what you make of it.

[@SherreeRussell1]

Very nice James

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thank you Sherree Russell Ginger

[@Thesocraticbreed]

There is a large difference between trance and sleep. A trance may activate similar chemicals,but a trance can happen while you are entirely conscious.

[@ouska933]

I tried many times but it does not work with my brothers and parents if I do naaar their hand look they will not fall into a trance ??? What should I do?

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thank you Juan Manuel!

[@jeanfrancoisdetaille]

Very nicely explained!

[@TheTrippnotist]

You know if they have been 'hypnotized' if they are responding to the suggestions you give... if those suggestions are leading them into an altered experience.

[@mrzold]

In my opinion, you shouldn't even use the name Erickson when discussing these induction methods. There was absolutely nothing shown here even close to Erickson's technique. Saying that his was "a little subtler" is a ridiculous understatement. It was supremely subtle and complex -- on a totally different level. No one these days has the time or inclination to learn about it, let alone do it. It is true that he didn't lift the hand and direct the subject's gaze to it, though. That much you got right.

[@TheTrippnotist]

+CR Green Thanks for your input. :)

[@StephanieConkle]

+CR Green I have studied Erickson's handshake induction from his own words in his books and videos. And even though he uses breadth of trance instead of depth of trance, you can certainly learn it in an afternoon. The basis of what he does is to intentionally make the subject uncomfortable with the handshake, so as to confuse him. It is a pattern interrupt but Erickson is relying on the subject's confusion of it, and not on bypassing the CF like Bandler. For instance, Erickson would begin shaking hands with his patient and at the point he where it would be socially acceptable to let go, he hangs on and doesn't let go until he induces that feeling of awkwardness, then he slides in his commands at that point. Erickson was a master of confusion and used it in every technique he did. I've added a lot more confusion in my practice since learning this. I had been taught to use confusion sparingly, only to come to find out I wasn't using it nearly enough.

[@TheAnupamRawat]

this is a very nice demonstration.. thank you

[@granddadjon]

nicely put across always learn a little more thanks James.

[@Thesocraticbreed]

The power of suggestion is criminal? Oh my.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thank you for sharing your perspectives.

[@MichaelSchlossberg]

James, absolutely love your videos. Do you have a full induction of yours uploaded anywhere?

[@KetanBhokray]

Thanks James! The demonstration was great. You seem to have used some subtleties the method, touching the hand at different points etc, can you explain them?

[@TheTrippnotist]

And, of course, all of that is covered in the product itself :)

[@monsieurhercule]

Your "what not to do" is actually the closest to how Bandler does it, just a hint less abrupt and as he holds your wrist with two fingers he points to a point on your palm and says "look here" - as your palm gets closer to your eyes he plays on you losing focus and tells you to close them as your hand drops.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Heracles Sakalis Very possibly. Bandler has been a driving force in the creation of so much of that is of value Changework/hypnosis-wise. But there is a lot about his facilitation style that is, in my view, not so great. maybe it’s just a matter of taste!

[@monsieurhercule]

James Tripp - Chaos Wave I'm not judging good or bad, I've seen Bandler do it and I just thought funnily enough, it's not quite as abrupt as your (slightly exaggerated) "how not to do it", but that's the closest one in this video. He comes around close to the subject's left shoulder and points at a point on their right palm, holding the right wrist with two fingers in an Aikido like grip.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Heracles Sakalis Yes. Not much of a fan of that :)

[@DicedPotato]

but derren brown does use this "now look at your hand"

[@TheTrippnotist]

Everyone does it the way they do it.

[@TheTrippnotist]

Thanks John!

[@AntonSlavik]

Would you prefer your hand or your face first enter trance? I get the idea of the pattern interrupt, but why do we freeze after the initial command? What's the mechanism there? Is it just because staring at your palm suddenly is a freaky experience?

[@haris000000]

Thanks James and your right, its a great advice :p, personally I dislike it because I know they are not going to sleep, thats my own personall dislike I guess, but for some people it goess really well

[@mindfreak37172]

I'm 14 and I've been interested in hypnosis , now is it a good idea to try at school

[@annalisedefere]

Did your demo subject consent to taking part in your demonstration before the pre-talk?

[@Xeiom]

When they are just staring at their own hand which is now in the air in front of their face, it must be difficult to resist the urge of slapping the hand into their face!

[@MrCarlo5875]

If it is possible, would you do a piece on covert hypnosis. Great videos by the way

[@firstnamelastname3089]

Beginner question: Can I use an arm pull induction, while shaking someone's hand?

[@Hypnotix0835]

I’m not an expert but I’m sure you can. If you grab their hand and pull, you’ll interrupt the pattern and I think it’ll work

[@TheTrippnotist]

[@LFOVCF]

people respond to confidence. If you look "afraid" then the person will pick up on it. Stand up straight, look like you do this all the time, stay out of your own head (pay attention to your subject, not your internal voice/doubts) and do some of those ambiguous touches, like James does, and they will just assume you are in full control of the situation and will respond. One tip is to say about how well they are doing eg "Your doing very well at relaxing even deeper now" (never mind the bad grammar, it's confusional and commanding.

[@freddiechea2170]

[@TheTrippnotist]

They are not asleep!

[@TheTrippnotist]

The process ends when you draw it to a close.

[@ericksanchezyan6087]

K so i tried the one where you bring the palm of their hand close to their face and you pull it out and forward till it touches their head and i think it worked on my brother--i did not tell him what i was attempting to do but when i had his hand close to his face he was laughing but as i was pushing his hand out and in he slowly stopped laughing (which is rare because once he laughs at these sorts of things--he doesnt stop) but he stopped laughing and i said "Sleep" and he literally collapsed to the floor without giggling or anything and i said "oh shit wtf" and then i told him "okay listen to me, wake up" and he woke up, i just don't know if it was real or not, i asked him if he was acting and he said no he first felt "Dizzy" and then he felt like he was "Power out" (Hes 10 years old) so idk what to believe, anyone have ideas or so.?

[@TheTrippnotist]

I guess you got a hit! The vectors come together and there it is!

[@breaksbruno]

My biggest fear is that when I say "sleep" that they will not fall in trance and than it will be very awkward.

[@ubererhs2898]

Ive been doing magic tricks (mostly card magic) to show friends in school. Id really like getting into hypnosis and i was just wondering if the handshake induction is a good place to start. Its pretty much exactly the type of thing ive been looking for and this video was very clear. Is it possible to do this induction just by watching this video or do i need to start somewhere else? thx in advance for anyone who would respond

[@TheTrippnotist]

+UbererSK It is possible to do this just from copying it, and you may get a result. I recommend watching my 'How To Hypnotise Without Trance' series here on KZbin to get a bead on some subtleties that will help you with hypnotising in general.

[@ubererhs2898]

+JamesTrippTV ill watch it. tried this handshake induction and the arm pull shock induction on my family but i feel like its very hard bcos they know me too well and just cant take my practicing seriously if you get what i mean.

[@TheTrippnotist]

+UbererSK That is always a problem with friends and family... I have a vid on that too somewhere!

[@TheTrippnotist]

For who, with whom and in what context? Those are the questions! THINK swoozie ;-)

[@Unisykolist]

Should i tell my friend im going to attempt to put them in a trance before doing it, or just ask them to shake hands to try a magic trick? Is it hard to make them sleep while standing up? Will they stay standing or drop to the floor?

[@EternalMusicPassion]

Hi! Great video! I have a question. I am trying to learn how to hypnotise people using this "hand shake induction" method. However I do not understand how do I know if the person has actually been hypnotised when I do it? I tried it on a friend. I told him I was gonna hypnotise him, and when i said sleep, he closed his eyes. Buy how do I know if he actually got hypnotised or if he was just closing his because that seemed like the right thing to do when I said "sleep". Thank you!

[@genna78]

[@lightinthedarkness316]

Good video but what is the point of this? When is this useful? Thanks!

[@TheTrippnotist]

Personally, I don't make much use of it at all, but then I don't use inductions (at least by my definition) full stop. In my view, inductions (especially 'rapid' inductions) best serve as ritual forms of communication - it's the meaning that gets attached to them that matters (like placebo - the effect isn't in the sugar pill but in the meaning attached to the receiving and taking of the pill - that meaning shapes expectancy). Whilst I have undoubtedly nuanced my views since back then, here is an old video (2012) that roughly outlines them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6a7qGaFnNB9ftU

[@mrsbhypnotherapy1008]
