THE POWERS HYPNOTIC EYES

[Illustration]

Here is an original technique that can be used very successfully in
inducing hypnosis. The technique consists of using two glass eyes with
eyelashes that close as you rotate the mechanism that holds the eyes in
place. This action is similar to closing your eyes when falling asleep.
You suggest to the subject as you hold these two eyes between your thumb
and first finger that his eyes will become extremely heavy and tired as
the eyes that you are holding begin to close. You then gradually begin
to rotate your hand which causes the eyes to partially close. The
subject, finding it extremely difficult to look at the eyes, begins to
close his own eyes in unison with those that you are holding. You
continue giving suggestions of hypnosis and before you know it the
subject is under hypnosis. The eyes are the size of human eyes and are
colored blue with brown eyelashes in order to give the exact effect of
looking into real eyes.

The advantage comes in the fact that the subject begins to blink his
eyes immediately and you suggest to him that this is the beginning of
the hypnosis. It is just about impossible to look into anyone's eyes
without blinking and this technique accomplishes this purpose.
