If I were to get in front of a crowd, and I had made the claim to be a hypnosis expert, and I
intended to sell my lecture as a resource for learning hypnotism, then I would make darn certain
that I'd versed myself in the most basic fundamentals of the art--many of the books that Jay cites
as his resources have *nothing* to do with hypnosis, not to mention he said he hadn't read THE BIBLE
of stage hypnotism--The Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnosis. Jay missed a lot of basic concepts of
"going first," how to bypass the critical factor, using hypnotic language, etc. If you're looking
for a quick hypnosis 101 that you can cover in 3 hrs, this is fine but you won't learn *nearly* as
much as if you take the $30 you would spend on this lecture and go buy Ormond McGill's Encyclopedia
of Stage Hypnosis from Amazon--it might take more than 3hrs to read but you will be *much* better
versed.
