Like other before, I'd also recommend Ormond Mcgill's "The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism". I'd add that Teppo Holmqvist's "Hypnotic Influence - A Master's Class in Experiential Trance" is my favorite hypnosis book of all time. I have read dozens, all the classics. Other than a few on Past Life Regression, they are the only ones' I'd consider essential. Couple them with with hundreds and hundreds of hours of practical application, and you'd be scratching the surface of what is possible with hypnosis. Good luck.

Check out Jerry Valley's "Inside Secrets of Stage Hypnotism". It's a nuts and bolts book on how to do a hypnosis stage show from A to Z.

I really like the Jerry Valley book which I own. And I love anything written by Ormond McGill. (Shh-----I just found out he didn't really believe in hypnotism----don't tell anyone I said so).

I am actually writing a book myself on stage hypnosis. I started it years ago but procrastination set in. However, in a recent flurry of activity I think it will be up and running in a month or two. I won't publicize it here since I am not here for advertising purposes. And for all I know the book might be awful anyway!

Glad to hear you put the year that has been to at least some good use by putting a book together, or at least closer to together.

Thank you kindly. The good thing about a pandemic is that if you have ever thought of writing a book this is the ideal time to do it. The bad thing about a pandemic is that you no longer have an excuse not to do it just because you don't feel like it! And I rarely feel like it! Nevertheless I have already written and published two books during the pandemic. This will be the third one. This is a particularly difficult one since I have completely forgotten how to do my own show! I am having to read other books and view videos of myself at work to try and remember my own show!
