The Subway Hypnotist

 

 

How did I earn the nickname The Subway Hypnotist?

 

In June 2000, the producers of the TV program Subway Q&A, airing on a few cable station in the New York Metropolitan area, contacted me. I was asked to demonstrate Hypnosis in the subway! You see, this program uses the New York subway as a back drop for their show. Not knowing what to expect I agreed. On the morning of the 15th a crew of 3 cameramen, a sound technician, the producer, the host and an assistant picked me up and we headed underground to the subway station at Grand Central. The host, the producer and the assistant targeted people randomly and volunteered me to conduct impromptu hypnosis sessions. The one that ended up on the air was a Smoking Cessation session with a young tourist female who was amused by the prospect of being hypnotized. We proceeded to the side of the platform where a large metal box was used as a Hypnotic Chair. Throughout the session the subway trains where roaring by with deafening noise. So much so that I could not hear my own voice. A crowd of spectators was watching intently.   

This was by far the weirdest hypnosis session I ever conducted. What an experience. You may judge for yourself. To watch this video clip click the following link. File size: 2.5 MB. Playing time: 92 seconds.
