Robert Temple is a highly successful, full-time hypnotist who performs regularly for private gigs as well as in his own theater show. And, in this very special Penguin Live lecture, he gives you a thorough master-class in the fascinating, and often misunderstood, world of stage hypnosis. He uses a typical, easy to understand hypnosis act to show you the basics of suggestibility tests, inductions, bits, and how to wake your volunteers at the end. You'll learn various ways to put people under, including his sure-fire see-saw induction, and the classic, instantaneous hand-shake re-induction. Plus, you'll learn how to make your subjects believe they're on vacation, enjoying some free drinks... or snuggle up to their neighbors to keep warm...or even forget simple information, like how to count to ten. So, if you've ever thought about putting together your own hypnosis show, but you weren't sure where to start, you'll find an incredible foundation right here.

1) My 4F’s Routine – See and learn the latest 4Fs card routine presented with great success by George Iglesias at the last FFFFs Convention. A tribute to the great Simon Lovell.
2) Ruining the Surprise – The magician brake an important rule of magic and reveals the final surprise of the effect, long before the trick even takes place. A card is selected, signed and loosed in the deck, two kings are inserted face up in the middle of the signed card is supposed to appear in between the two kings. Things go wrong and the signed card ended up on top of the deck, no worries, a promise is a promise, the signed card is clearly left on top of the deck and by snapping the fingers the signed card appears in the center of the deck between the two kings.
3) Anti Ambitious Card – A card that rises always to top is now clearly left on top to drop at the bottom of the deck in a blink of an eye.
4) NonTop – Explanation of a new card technique developed by George, a very deceptive displacement of a card very useful to accomplish strong effects with cards
5) Tarot Reading – Using some of the mayor arcana cards and spectator is asked to freely look at only one card and memorise it, the cards are all mixed and George will start to read their future guessing the right selection also.
6) Follow Me – A nice trick in which you will gain a new follower on twitter and will also guess somebody’s secret information.
7) Cigarette Estimation – Be able to guess how many cigarettes are left inside of a pack that is inside of the spectator pocket.
8) Mental M&Ms – A fun and amazing trick that can be performed thru the telephone or live by using a simple M&M bag. The spectator is asked to open the bag, the magician turns around and give instructions to the spectator to spread a few over the table, now the spectator will start to eat them at his will. Lots of free choices made by the spectator and a nice final revelation.
