Subject: Re: 30 Second Conversational Trance Induction
I find a change in eye-accessing cues is the most obvious indication.
You will find this an interesting experiment. My own variant on the now
popular handshake induction technique.
Offer hand; look at hand; look at person and say "Hello, how <nod and
include another glimpse to the hand> are yo.." and fade off before the
"you" is finished (or whatever words you have chosen to say)
The aim is to get the timing so that the handshake WOULD naturally start at
the end of the sentence - but the sentence never quite ends ... and the
hands never quite get round to meeting.
The "fade off" is achieved by pretending that you have just gone into a
trance yourself - you know, let your eyes defocus, let your shoulders drop
a little, lower your breathing rate - literally pretend to have just gone
off into a trance.
As you do this, they will almost invariably continue to match your body
language and go into a trance themselves. After a second-or-so (sorry for
the ambiguity, but you will appreciate it after you have got it to work)
let your sight slowly come back, so that you feel in control, whilst
maintaining ALL other indications that you are in a trance.
Maintaining the eye contact, slowly remove your hand from the equation and
DO NOTHING.
You will be amazed how long people are prepared to stand there with their
hand in front of them doing nothing.
They will often go completely cataleptic [See
http://www.alternativemedicinechannel.com/hypnotherapy/stages.shtml ]
To terminate the effect simply say something like "sorry, I wandered off
there for a moment..." and now with fresh confidence "How are you?" and
shake their hand.
You should not wait too long or they will wonder what the f' is wrong with
you - and often become a little aggitated - not a good outcome.
The cue of "too long" will be the moment they perform an access. As they
go for it, you step in with your apology. Lest they have an independant
thought - tut tut tut that would never do {never do what to whom?}
By doing this. You will soon know what someone in a trance looks like.
