Hi
The next time to apply (NOT TRY) this hypnoidal test on your WILLING
volunteer remember the ask them to pretend with all their concentration
that their fingers are locked tight together. Remind them to keep their
arms locked out straight and when, and only when they are completely
sure that their hands are locked tightly together only then ask them to
JUST TRY to open them while holding onto the pretence that they are
locked tightly together.
What happens is this:
1. The sub-conscious can not discriminate between
pretending/imagining and the real world, it's all the same to the
sub-conscious.
2. When they are ready, you ask them to JUST TRY to open their
hands. The word try infers that they may not be able to open their
hands.
3. the imagination takes hold of this inference and Coue's Law of
Reversed Effort kicks in from here ensuring that their hands stay locked
together.
When using this technique you must be aware not to directly challenge
the conscious intellect. Instead, cajole them to use the AMAZING POWER
OF THEIR IMAGINATION so that they know that they are doing all this and
so they don't feel as though they are being taken control of.
Just some thoughts offered.
Kind Regards
Harry Cannon

Thanks for responses, yet i'm still unable to do the hands locked
trick on the site mentioned previously.
Can anyone who's done it and has worked explain exactly what they
done? I feel i can't progress further until i get this right.
Another Q: Can you do autosuggestion, without before being applied
suggestion?
For example, am i wasting my time trying to make my own hands lock?
Thank you
