Magic711, sorry to disagree, but hypnosis is a LEARNED SKILL, not a "natural talent." Read any good text on the topic. Nowhere in the literature will you find any reference to a "natural hypnotist."
Unless you are using the term in a very different meaning than what is generally agreed=upon in the field (someone with a natural ability to hypnotize, an innate power to hypnotize), then you are acting under a misconception of how hypnosis works. Hypnosis is a high-level communicative process, involving two or more people, one acting as the hypnotist, who is, in reality, a guide or facilitator, for the session and who uses specific techniques to assist the volunteers to enter a state of mind that is a naturally occurring one. The hypnotist, in effect, acts as someone who helps the hypnotee to remember how to access that state of mind and guides them in its utilization. There is no "power over" situation, regardless of what a stage hypnosis show, or Hollywood depiction might otherwise indicate. Sorry to disillusion you, but you really should read The Experience of Hypnosis by Hilgard and Hilgard for some good, solid background on how this works, both from the hypnotist's and the subject's standpoint. Respectfully, Lee Darrow, C.H.

Magic711...never mind what these X Spurts say...I'm also a Natural Hypnotist...how do I know? 'Cause I can read minds (without a thumb tip!) and move things with just my brain and bend soda straws...the other day I made a lady think I actually made my pen go thru a dollar...I was born Hypnotistical I guess. I can't wait to cure some sick dudes and raise the dead either. X spurts...bah. What do they know....anyway? That's why Doyle is in Branson and not New York City!
:) Consider the words of the great sage Pop Eye.
