Meh, I've been to a show before in high school... one of my friends went up and went through the regular stuff, acting crazy becuase he was hypnotized.
After the show he said that he wasn't hypnotized at all, he just wanted to act crazy in front of the whole school.
In conclusion, I have my doubts about the whole thing.

Sorry to bring this thread back to the dead.
I was first introduced to hypnotism from the graduation party.
I called shens at first, until I read the howstuffworks.com explaination on it.
My mom talked to me about hypnotism before, and I told her I was interested. Two days later, I found a book on my table, "Professional Hypnotism Manual"
I got lazy, and I was never arsed to read it.
Today during my long boring hours at work, I decided to bring it there to read it. This book is amazing.
Hypnotism is REAL without a doubt. It tells you how it works, and now I've learned how to hypnotize people 🙂
Different people have different levels of suggestibility. There are two types, Physical and Emotional suggestibility. People with physical suggestability are the ones that take information in literally, and people with emotional suggestibility are the ones that take in information inferentially.
Most people are a mix of both. A person that with high physical suggestibility, tends to take commands literally, and is easily hypnotized by literal commands, such as, "You are getting tired, and you will fall asleep"
A person with high emotional suggestibility, are the ones that can't be hypnotized at the shows. It takes special methods to hypnotize them as they need to be convinced that they are getting tired and will fall asleep.
Hypnosis works by sending lots of data to your concious mind until it can't keep up and stops functioning, allowing the hynosist to communicate with the subconcious mind. Your subconcious mind controls what you were conditioned to, to your natural and most primitive reactions(such as fight or flight), your religioius beliefs, and habits. Through hypnosis, the hypnotherapist is able to change any of the parts of your subconcious mind.
I'm only half way done with the book, it's a very interesting read. The last chapter is self-hynosis. I think I'm going to skip to that now 🙂

I won't teach you guys how to do it, because if you don't know how to condition yourself, you'll just end up making yourself worse.
Here's a summary though - Sorry for the format, I was IM'ing my friend how I did it and I just C/P it :
you have to take out your hand
then concentrate on it
then you have to think about what you're feeling in your hand
then think about that same feeling going across your body
then you have to read these lines to yourself
basically about the feeling going up your body
until you feel it in your head
and you begin noticing your breathing
when I read that breathing line, I began to pant hard
and my heart started throbbing
and i lost all senstation in my body
