The transitional script that you have just read makes it easy to follow through with your suggestions. This is the actual purpose of the hypnosis, without hypnotic suggestion you are doing nothing more than relaxing the client and although this is incredibly beneficial in itself, it is unlikely to elicit positive life changes and certainly is not very entertaining.
What you use the trance state for depends on your particular area of interest, you may choose to develop trance for entertainment or be interested in developing your skills as a hypnotherapist.
Perhaps one of the most important suggestions that you should include at this stage is that your client will be able to get back into this state easily. This will prove valuable in all situations, but it is essential for stage hypnosis. This is done using a post hypnotic cue by attaching a trigger to a desired action. Stage hypnosis is completely dependant upon post hypnotic suggestions, such as, ‘When you hear this piece of music you will leap onto the stage and start dancing.’ Then the volunteer is woken from the trance state and asked a few questions before the trigger music is played and the action carried out as requested.
The most important post hypnotic suggestion that stage hypnotists use is, ‘For the rest of the evening, whenever I click my fingers and say the word “Sleep” you will instantly go back into trance.’ Everything else a stage hypnotist does will come down to personal taste and imagination. Note that I did say for the rest of the evening, you should include these ‘safeguards’ to ensure that your volunteers do not walk away with suggestions still active.
A post hypnotic suggestions can theoretically last a life time, the longest I know of has been 29 years, so be sure to use time limits and to remove them at the end of the show by telling your subjects that they are completely back to their normal waking consciousness and that the suggestions that you have given them during the show no longer have any affect.
