There isn’t a hard maximum.
Although I prefer younger subjects, feel free to get in touch, explain what you’re looking for, and we can take it from there.
If you know me, you’ll know that I don’t lose my temper easily. But today, I’m angry. And I’m angry with a very irresponsibly hypnotist.
For some time, I’ve been aware of a guy calling himself “Hypnotistify”, “Louis Hypnosis”, and “Hypnotist__” online. He’s on YouTube, YouNow, and also apparently Skype. I’ve watched some of his sessions, and found them relatively entertaining.
Then, this popped up in my inbox:
First of all, I’m glad Chris (the subject in the video) is okay. What he experienced here is called an abreaction. It’s rare, but it can happen, and one of the most important parts of training as a hypnotist is understanding how to deal with it. Essentially, it’s about calmly reasurring them, bringing their awareness back into the room, and bringing them out of the hypnotic state before talking things through with them so they understand what happpened.
I’d recommend reading this, and this, if you want to know more about abreactions; but a quick search will uncover plenty of information.
Now, I’ve had connections drop out on me more than once during online sessions. That’s why you always prepare by reminding the person you’re hypnotising that, if that does happen, they’ll simply come out of hypnosis completely and be able to deal with whatever they need to. Frankly, that’s a pretty basic – and, I think, obvious – safety measure for any online session.
If I thought that was all that was wrong here, though, I’d find this situation a lot easier to deal with. But it’s not.
Underneath the video is this comment, which was evidently posted by the so-called hypnotist ‘Louis’:

Let’s get one important thing out of the way first, it is true that you can’t get stuck in hypnosis. Even without the safety suggestion I mentioned before, a person would, sooner or later, simply come out of hypnosis and be completely back to normal.
Now, onto the thing that’s really got my back up. Read Louis’ comment again. He says, “I had my suspicions … so I decided to see how you’d react, at least you got a video out of it right?” What does that say to you?
To me, it says that he deliberately abandonned Chris in the middle of a hypnosis session. At best that’s unethical, at worst it’s simply dangerous. Not only that, but my understanding is that he saw Chris having a, really quite serious, abreaction and still made the decision to cut him off.
I can think of only two possible reasons for Louis’ actions:
If it’s imcompetance, then this video is a shining example of why anyone who wants to practice hypnosis should seek out some form of training. Even if that training is simply reading books, or watching online tutorials, paying attention and learning what you’re doing can prevent situations like this happening.
If this is a case of pure maliciousness, on the other hand, which is what Louis’ implies in his own comment, then I really don’t know what to say except that I hope as many people as possible online see this and understand how dangerous working with an untrustworthy hypnotist can be.
Please either stop hypnotising people altogether or go out and get some proper training. It will be better for you and far, far better for your subjects. If you don’t, and you keep behaving like you have here, it’s only a matter of time before somebody sues you and you end up in court. You don’t want that.
I implore you to please, please ask potential hypnotists about their training and experience. You should only ever agree to let yourself be hypnotised by someone who have talked to, got to know, trust, and know the real identity of. At the very least, any reputable hypnosist will allow you to see and hear them on Skype (or whatever app you use).
As Chris himself says in the video description, “Being hypnotized can be a super fun experience, but it can also be extremely scary if not done correctly.” Have fun, by all means, but please stay safe while you’re doing it.
Cheers,
M
This was the scariest video i’ve ever watched….
Please message me directly. Different countries have different rules, so if you message me in confidence with your individual circumstances we can discuss it.
Of course ☺
Contact me and I’ll see what I can do for you!
Take a look at the ‘get hypnotised’ page on my Tumblr and get in touch.
Cuz believe me, I know I do
Always.
Yes.
Who doesn’t love some good material? ^^ yay
Send it all~~
I love hypnosis gifs, if you can’t already tell.
The whole stuff!! I’m willing!!
All the above!
Woo
Not usually. The privacy of my subjects is important, and I won’t be posting pics/videos of them here without their express permission.
Sure. Get in touch with your name, age, a photo, and contact details and we’ll set something up.
Consent matters in hypnosis. It’s wrong for anyone to try to make you do something you don’t want to, even (or perhaps especially) in trance.
That’s why I make a point of asking potential subjects up front what they want to get out of their hypnosis experience; and why we agree what’s going to happen in a session, before it starts.
But remember… consent is a flexible thing, and it’s completely okay to change your mind, or withdraw your consent, at any time. Whether you want to alter what’s happening in a session, or back out of getting hypnotised alltogether, you have an absolute right to do that.
Any hypnotist who tries to stop you is - at least - behaving unethically; and in some circumstances illegaly as well.
That said, if you do change your mind, I ask that you be honest and tell me.
Twice recently I’ve had potential new subjects back out just as we were starting a session… by ending the video call from their end, and blocking me. With not even a message to explain. Frankly, that’s just plain rude.
Especially when, as hypnotists, we give of our time for free. Believe me when I say that there’s good money to be made charging for what we do in recreational hypnosis sessions, if we choose to take it.
This isn’t selfishness, I want to know that you’re alright, and give you the chance to talk through any concerns or worries you have. Those who’ve chatted with me, or gone under with me, will know that I’m not evil, and that I genuinely care about YOUR welfare and want you to enjoy the hypnosis experience as much as I do.
So, please take the time to talk.
Remember: whether you get hypnotised is your choice, but so is good manners.
Just had the absolute pleasure of an all-too-brief session with one of the best subjects I’ve ever worked with. Thank you Tom, hope to do more sessions with you soon!
If you’re a teenager or in your early twenties, and want to go under, get in touch with a photo and your details and we’ll arrange a session.
Thanks
If you are chosen to be a subject, then I usually contact you within a day or two, often much sooner. I get too many requests to hypnotise than I can manage, though, so I do pick and choose subjects according to the criteria on my Tumble ‘Get Hypnotised’ page.
Send me your Skype id, name, and a pic. I’ll see what I can sort out for you.
I get roughly 20 requests to hypnotize people a month; and simply don’t have time to work with all the people who want me to put them under. In fact, I usually only choose two or three new subjects each month.
There are a few things I especially look for in subjects, and these are how I choose who I am going to hypnotize:
Hopefully that helps clear things up. If you’ve read this, and you want to talk about going under, get in touch.
That’s strange, but if you’re having trouble let you an always email contact@hypnomaster.uk or use the contact form on the ‘get hypnotised’ page of my Tumblr.
Sure. Send me your Skype, age, and a photo.
Yes. Send me your details, Skype, and a photo.
