Yes this is possible, and you don't even need to Handshake Interupt!

Depends on the person suggestability, what you have to remember is,
derren will have loaded embedded commands before the cameras role!!

Would I need to touch the subject's hand again (once I'd let go
after the HSI) to pin-point the area to be numbed?

Not necessarily

> Would it be easier to simply attempt to numb the subject's entire
arm (since I would be holding the wrist area already, and thus save
letting go and then grabbing again)?

Why not just the whole hand

>Also, can someone tell me why it is necessary during an HSI to
lift the arm (even slightly)? Can an HSI be performed without such a
lift?

YES, I Have my own version of the HSI

Not at all, good questions!!
