Hypnosis Training Education Article
What's the difference between 'Speed Trance' and 'Stage' or 'Street' Hypnosis - and Why would I want to learn it?
For those of you ‘in the know’ this may seem like a silly question, but for those who aren’t the terms may be confusing, so it’s a valid learning question, and one I’ve answered dozens of times over the past 6 months or so from curious customers.
“Stage Hypnosis” is an entertainment presentation; it’s performing a show, from start to finish - pre-talk and convincers, induction, deepening, skits and routines, post-hypnotic suggestions, awakening.... It’s an organized, structured, and generally pre-scheduled event for a specific audience. (Or at least it should be :)
“Street Hypnosis” is the catch-all term for less-organized demonstrations of hypnosis, such as impromptu performances at house parties, bars, restaurants, or literally out on the street with random passersby.
“Speed Trance” is a style, a method or technique for inducing trance, just darn near instantly. Depending on where, when and how it’s used, the performance of Speed Trance techniques can almost be a “show,” as the demonstration can surely be attention-grabbing to onlookers - but truly it’s just a really, really fast hypnotic induction method.
“So, why would I want to learn Speed Trance - buy the video or attend the class - if it’s not going to teach me how to do stage or street hypnosis?” That’s the next question I generally field from those looking to expand their hypnotic horizons with new learnings.
>>>> Speed Trance techniques are highly effective and useful tools (for induction, but also for marketing purposes) for any practicing hypnotist - stage, street or clinical. (Plus they’re just way cool!)
“Well, I’m a clinical hypnotist, so I don’t need to know about that fast stuff.” Oh really?
If you are a Clinical Hypnotist, you can use these methods to shorten induction time with returning clients, to overcome resistance or skepticism or nervousness with new clients, to impact trauma and crisis victims, to work with fidgety children or special populations, and many other pertinent scenarios.
“But I’m a stage hypnotist; so I have to use a longer induction, fast ones just won’t work for what I do.” Is that so?
If you are a Stage Hypnotist, you may use these techniques as an astonishing convincing act to jump-start your show, or to deepen a subject who is in very light trance. > And, tell me, what better way is there to demonstrate what you can do - right here, right now - for someone who might want to book you, than a 5-minute, 1-subject stage show, kicked off with a 7-second induction?
If you want to do Street Hypnosis, you pretty much have to use Speed Trance style instant inductions, because you won’t hold an impromptu audience’s attention by doing a 20-minute PMR induction…
The same goes for putting up demonstration videos on youtube - you’ve only got 10 minutes of video to play with, and you don’t want to waste 5 minutes of that time on an induction - but you want the viewers to believe you’re not using actors - so impress them with a 10-second or less Speed Trance induction - wow the folks watching at home - and then get on with the fun stuff. It makes for awesome video.
Marketing. As mentioned above, you can use the methods to quickly and powerfully demonstrate the possibilities of hypnosis and your personal skills, in order to get stage show gigs and even clinical clients.
>>>> Each and every time you demonstrate hypnosis, you are advertising your services. Do a 5 or 15-minute mini-demonstration at a party, and you just might book a stage show and several clinical sessions.
So, these are the answers I give customers who call and ask, and I hope they’ve been helpful to you as well.

-
Use the amazing power of hypnosis and hypnotic phenomena not only during sessions or shows with clients - but to GET clients, too! ... The mistake many hypnotists make is in viewing Street Hypnosis as a whole different genre of trance performance, when really it's just an abbreviated form that can be demonstrated anytime, anywhere, with anyone. --more--
Hypnotic Phenomena... Huh... What is it good for?
-
I am asked this question a lot by both new hypnotists and those who have been in practice for quite a while. They just can’t seem to wrap their minds around the concept, or they are afraid to try different forms of demonstration, so I try to explain what hypnotic phenomena is really all about. --more--
Performing Smaller Stage Hypnosis Shows
- Bars, Restaurants, Clubs
-
I hear questions all the time from stage hypnotists about performing smaller shows - meaning for maybe 30-60 people - and in less organized venues - meaning bars or clubs, rather than a comedy club or other standard entertainment venu. Worries about these situations range from, "With such a small audience to draw from, will I get enough participants up on stage, and will enough of them be hypnotized to have a good show?" - to "What do I do if most everyone is too drunk or rowdy?" - to "What if I only have 30-45 minutes for the show?Not to worry - you CAN do it - you just ... --more--
About Stage Hypnosis Training and Courses
-
Stage hypnosis is one of the most rewarding fields of study and, at the same time, it can be one of the most difficult. Stage hypnosis training can be very expensive, and most seminars occur in big cities like Las Vegas or London, or at annual conferences, like the Hypnoticon convention, now held twice each year in Atlanta and California. --more--

About Creating Unique Stage Hypnosis Show Skits
-
We’ve seen tons of shows across the country by dozens of different performers over the years, from various conventions, to Vegas, to comedy clubs in the Midwest, school events and so forth. Many have had the same elements or bits, but done differently, and some were done exactly the same. --more--
About Stage Hypnotists Keeping Up with the Times
-
Now and then we get a comment or two from career professionals who are disgruntled that we Hypnosis Gurus are “selling out the secrets” of stage hypnosis, or that we are “flooding the market” with new hypnotists by offering comparatively inexpensive training to anyone interested in learning the art, and thus subsequently “cutting the fees” that the old-boy’s-club can charge for their shows. --more--
About Teen Hypnotist Training Philosophy
-
These days, when it seems difficult to get most kids interested in anything more than chatting with friends or playing games on the Internet, it is amazing to us that many in the industry will so adamantly poo-poo the idea of training teenagers to become hypnotists. --more--
About Clinical Hypnosis Training for Stage and Street Hypnotists
-
Many stage hypnotists are only that - stage hypnotists - and they have never taken a clinical course in hypnosis. And many clinical hypnotists only practice clinical hypnosis, and may even shudder at the mere mention of hypnosis for entertainment purposes. And then there are the hypnotists who regularly practice both stage and street hypnosis. --more--
