Yes, very good description, but wtf does it all mean!?! heh...sorry.

Erickson does go into quite alot of detail there.

<q>
Initiation: When I begin by shaking hands, I do so normally.
The "hypnotic touch" then begins when I let loose. The letting loose
becomes transformed from a firm grip into a gentle touch by the
thumb, a lingering drawing away of the little finger, a faint
brushing of the subject's hand with the middle finger - just enough
vague sensation to attract the attention. As the subject gives
attention to the touch of your thumb, you shift to a touch with your
little finger. As your subject's attention follows that, you shift to
a touch with your middle finger and then again to the thumb.

</q>

Don't have a clue how one would use that in a real situation, perhaps
someone can shed some light?

And also, THAT'S DEFINATELY NOT WHAT DERREN DID!!
