- So if I tap, I just
want you to press here
and then count to three
and say the word sleep,
you'll immediately close your eyes,
you'll sink and drift even
further, like a ragdoll.
Okay now just look at the
ring, right in the center,
look at the ring.
Look at the ring, just
focus intently on the ring.
Look at the ring, that's right, look up.
Perfect, just focusing on the ring.
(Hip Hop music)
Now you're gonna allow your eyes to close.
Don't look yet.
Right now, right now, have a look.
One, two, three.
That's right, all the way
down, with your eyes closed,
resting and relaxing all the way down.
- Alexa
- Alexa, look at the hand.
Keep your legs like steel bars.
Sleep.
Just relax and close your eyes.
Just relax, that's right,
that's good, my friend.
You're doing perfect.
Sleep, all the way down, my friend.
I've got you my brother.
Keeping your eyes closed the whole time,
resting and relaxing.
Relax and rest, further and further
and deeper and deeper and further.
Relax, the more you relax
the better you feel.
In a few moments, but not yet,
I'll count to three and when
I get to three open your eyes
and you'll be wide awake, one, two, three.
That's good my brother.
Wow, you were very receptive.
That's awesome, man.
Now in a few moments, but not yet,
I'll count to three when I reach three
your eyes will be open.
You'll be fully alert and wide awake.
- They said his name was James.
When he spit forth lyrics out
of his mouth they say they see flames.
- Three.
jumping, jumping, jumping, jumping,
jumping, jumping,
jumping, jumping, jumping,
jumping, jumping, jumping, jumping.
Jumping beans, jumping beans,
jumping beans, jumping beans.
It feels good doesn't it, my brother.
- Yeah, right.
- It was awesome.
Here we are down in Lake Eola, Florida.
We are working on a three day
street hypnosis training program.
We thought we'd put together a video
so that you guys can learn
street hypnosis also from home.
What you're about to see over
the next couple of clips,
actually a lot of clips, is lots
of different people getting hypnotized.
Now all these people that
we hypnotize in the street,
you gotta bear in mind
that they probably have
a reason to be on the street.
Maybe they're looking at the art displays.
Maybe they're at the farmers market.
Maybe they're going out for dinner.
Maybe they are actually
going out on a family walk.
Whatever the reason is they never came out
to actually be hypnotized.
So keep watching you're
gonna see how we stop people
in the street, get them hypnotized
and how they leave with a
good feeling of hypnosis.
Watch the video.
(calming music)
- Where do I look?
- Just that way.
Not your whole body just
this way, this way Brian.
Not your whole body just
this way, that way Brian.
That's great.
Right-handed?
Take a deep breath in.
Look above there, look above there.
Sleep, go all the way down,
I've got you my brother.
Resting, relaxing, collapsing,
keeping your eyes closed at all times.
Resting and relaxing, the more you relax
the better you feel.
In a second, but not yet Brian,
your eyes will be open, you'll
be fully alert and wide awake.
One, two, and three!
Good job Brian, we're gonna do that again.
Feels weird doesn't it?
- Yeah.
- Plenty of singles?
When I snap my fingers
you're gonna find out
that your shoes are on the wrong feet.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
- They're on the wrong feet.
- They're on the wrong
feet, oh wow that's crazy.

Turn it towards you.
That finger's gonna come
right towards your face,
slowly towards your face.
As soon as it touches your face
you're gonna just drop right off to sleep.
That's right.
(music drowns out talking)
Not yet, I'll just lay
you down on the floor.
Will you try and remember your first name?
Focus, while your name has disappeared.
(upbeat music)
(music drowns out talking)
Two.
(upbeat music)
Jumping beans on your feet on three.
One, two and three. (claps)
Faster, faster, faster, faster,
faster, faster, faster, faster,
faster, that's right.
Faster, faster, faster,
faster, faster, faster.
Jumping, jumping,
jumping, don't look at me.
Just faster, faster, faster.
(crowd cheers)
(music drowns out talking)
In a second, but not yet,
we'll start with the hypnosis.
One, two and three.
(music drowns out talking)
Keep your eyes closed.
Now in a second, but not yet,
we'll start with the hypnosis.
One, two and three.
Eyes open.
All right we're gonna begin the process
but even then you felt good.
Exhale all the way, all the way out.
Sleep.

Every number I count down
backwards from five down to zero.

Hey so it's Richard Barker
The Incredible Hypnotist.
I'm down here with my main man Shawn
and we have been doing street hypnosis
and a little bit of mentalism
for the last couple a days.
Now, the people that
are watching this video,
some people aren't as advanced
as you or progressed as you.
For a brand new beginner like somebody
that's been watching some YouTube videos
of street hypnosis, what are some
of the things you would tell them?
Some advice as a beginner that hasn't
yet gone on the street.
- Pick one induction because
a lot of times you'll
wanna learn five or six
of 'em and you don't need five or six.
Just get good one, maybe two
so you can just kinda mix it up.
I would recommend taking a live training
'cause you can learn how to drive a car in
a book but until you actually do it
it's kinda hard but if
you really wanna get good
at it take a live training
with a master hypnotist
like Richard and just
get out there and do it.
You just gotta do it.
You're gonna have some flops
but it isn't you it's them.
You're a perfect hypnotist, sometimes
the subject just isn't perfect
for whatever reason,
distractions or whatever.
But you just gotta go and do it.
Take a training, a live training,
with a master hypnotist like
Richard and you'll get it.
- And I think overall
with any psychomotor skill
the more you do it the
better you become at it,
the more repetition, the
more you hone in your skills.
It's like DJs.
DJs to get good at being a
DJ it's just about DJing.
The more you DJ the better you become
and the more you actually
play in live environments
the better the DJ you
become and it's exactly
the same with hypnotists.
Even more so with street hypnosis
because you need an extra
level of confidence,
self confidence, but the more you do it
the more your confidence--
- And here's a swan
- It's a swan
- I think we hypnotized the swan.
- The thing is when they peck you
on the back of the leg it hurts.
(laughing)
But the more you practice I
think the better you become
and the best way to
practice is in a street
like this, or a public park
or somewhere around it.
We've probably hypnotized, combined now,
probably close to at
least 60 to 80 people.
I mean it's a lot over
the last couple of days
and we've had our failures,
we've had our failures especially early on
and we got into the groove
and I think you get somebody
who starts to get
hypnotized you draw a crowd
of people that stop to
watch and those people
that stop to watch are
already being conditioned
and it's easier for the people to watch
about what's gonna happen
next so they become easier.
So once you draw the
crowd move on through,
start hypnotizing the next set of people.
- Next, next.
- And then keep going
and then start practicing
different routines.
So if you're watching this
and have not yet gone out
on the street but you've read a book,
you've looked at the
YouTube, you've looked
at different things and
you have not yet taken
a class, Shawn is absolutely right,
take a live training class.
Make sure it is somewhere on the street
so that you can learn on the street,
perform on the street.
If you have taken a class and it was on
the street then you want
to increase your chances
of success by getting on the
street and actually doing it.
