to a strict scientific approach to hypnosis and it is with these
subjects that the use of such a device as the crystal ball is of
inestimable value.

The crystal ball is held between your thumb and first finger, about
twelve inches from the subject's eyes and slightly above eye level. The
hypnotic crystal ball can easily be carried with you at all times.

As you know, the employment of a crystal to induce the hypnotic sleep is
one of the oldest methods used in hypnosis. I personally favor this
device and my students as well as myself have always had excellent
results using this technique.

An effective yet inexpensive method of inducing hypnosis is with the aid
of the hypnodisc spiral. In my book, "Hypnotism Revealed," a picture of
the hypnodisc unit with the hypnodisc spiral attached is shown. Above is
a picture of my latest hypnodisc spiral. I am now offering the hypnodisc
spiral as a separate unit which can be used with your phonograph
turntable.

The spinning spiral will cause a series of optical illusions, causing
immediate eye strain and fatigue. The subject feels that he is being
drawn into a deep, dark revolving cone. By your suggestions of hypnotic
sleep, you can place your subject in the somnambulistic state very
easily. With some subjects, hypnosis will take place almost
instantaneously. This technique is often employed in stage hypnotism.

The use of the hypnodisc spiral is also an excellent method of achieving
self-hypnosis. As you concentrate on the revolving hypnodisc spiral, you
give yourself suggestions of hypnotic sleep. You will note the optical
illusions as they occur and the pleasant, relaxing feeling that
accompanies these illusions. Giving yourself further suggestions of
hypnotic sleep, you find that you are easily able to attain the desired
state of self-hypnosis. This method is one of the most successful and
popular techniques yet known for achieving hetero-hypnosis and
self-hypnosis. At the Wilshire School of Hypnotism, all students in the
self-hypnosis class are conditioned with the aid of the hypnodisc
spiral.

During my lectures, I place the entire hypnodisc unit on the platform
without having the spiral revolve. Continuing with the lecture, I note
