This quote\u00a0speaks volumes to me now more than it ever<\/em> has before. I could barely focus all of Friday and Saturday as I thought about\u00a0what I would do during my largest and most legitimate hypnosis show that was scheduled for\u00a0yesterday night. I had so many questions about what I was going to do, how I was going to\u00a0do it, and whether or not it would work. The lack of answers was giving me anxiety.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With this show, I wanted to try so many new things. Never have I planned out a show in as much detail as I did for\u00a0this one. An old friend asked me to perform at the conference and I could not disappoint her. Having to memorize the order of what I was going to\u00a0do during the show was overwhelming and stressful but proved to be totally worth it. I liked having things planned out much better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most of the\u00a0attendees were computer science and\u00a0information technology\u00a0majors since it\u00a0was a programming event I was performing at. Since computer science people generally\u00a0tend to be more science-oriented, my friend and I were expressing our concerns about the potential skepticism I\u00a0could\u00a0have\u00a0received from the audience.\u00a0I was even worried I might not be able to get enough\u00a0volunteers. To my relief, everything went surprisingly well. In fact, I had more volunteers than I could take and I had no problem hypnotizing the ones who came up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In terms of guiding their\u00a0hypnosis, I learned that I’m able to do much more than I previously thought. In the past, most of my experience\u00a0has involved having\u00a0people instantly “act things out” and then stopping them. One thing and then another. Unique and temporary. Now I realize I can create more interesting\u00a0effects that stick throughout the duration of the show. I had one girl who would shout, “R U RAH RAH!” whenever she heard the word, “Rutgers” used in a sentence.\u00a0Another girl forgot\u00a0her name and could only remember it if she sang happy birthday to herself.<\/p>\n This opens a whole new door of possibilities for future shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0As the great hypnotist\u00a0\u00c9mile Cou\u00e9 once said, “Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.” This quote\u00a0speaks volumes …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5377],"tags":[2258,2262],"yoast_head":"\n
