Deeper and Deeper
A straight forward, no-nonsense guide to basic stage hypnotic procedures. Engagingly written with a good balance of background information and practical exercises. It was the first book on hypnosis I had read and as a result I ended up studying several courses with Jonathan Chase.I can guarantee that this man knows what he's talking about! A great reference work on the subject. Recommended. --Den LaithwaiteI've read every book on stage hypnosis here and on the net. This is without doubt the best yet. Everything in this fun and fast to read book is do-able. I've been messing around with hypnosis for ages now but these methods have actually made it a million times easier and better.  I've even wasted money on rubbish from e-bay. I've just been asked to do my friends christmas party for cash money thanks to Jonathans tips on impromptu hypnosis and that amazing super suggestion which is worth the price of this book ten times over. I've read them all but this one make all the others obsolete. I look forward to the next and will book on the masterclass. Great! --David DaviesFor some very peculiar reason these days there are a lot of books and seminars on Stage Hypnosis. Some of these courses run into the thousands of dollars, but are they worth it?  Perhaps. Well, here, in a wonderful new book by England's hypnotist, Jonathan Chase, is a great way to start performing the art of Stage Hypnosis.  Jon begins by giving you a fine intro into what hypnosis is, how it is recognized, etc. Also about the "dangers" of Stage Hypnotism. (I learned one safety technique here that was worth the whole price of the book.)  Then he teaches you not a long drawn-out but very quick induction where your subjects are hypnotized by the time they are on stage. This is a newer technique unlike what is known in the United States. He teaches you how to structure your show and how to put it together with props, etc. There is only a basic outline for the show Pre-Talk (no scripts is included, but he shows you how to create one yourself). He includes ten pages of routine ideas which should help you along. Highly recommended for all magicians and related arts --www.magictalk.com by Bryan Dean
