Real Deal

This is the resource I initially used in learning to become a hypnotist. I find it just as useful today as when I first read it years ago. The audio version is even better than the text. You get to hear Ant's tonalities, his pacing, his enthusiasm and expertise. I can't recommend this enough.

Incredible Audio Book... However...

If you could sum up Reality Is Plastic: The Art of Impromptu Hypnosis in three words, what would they be?

Give me more...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Reality Is Plastic: The Art of Impromptu Hypnosis?

I found the entire book to be intriguing. If you are or have been considering becoming a student of hypnosis this book is for you.

What does Anthony Jacquin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Having the ability to hear Anthony's voice gives you a real sense how he performs his craft.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved when Anthony started explaining rapid inductions. I was able to trance family and friends a lot faster using his strategies.

Some good information but major ethical issues

This book has some good information but has major ethical issues. There are other books on this subject the I'm much more comfortable with.

I was looking for something more about

self hypnosis and this doesn't deliver.
I listened to more than half of the recording and still nothing about self hypnosis so I gave up.

The Plastic Mold

I've been interested in hypnosis for over 20 years and have a book collection and have taken a few classes but, seem to lack the confidence to really do anything with it. Then I stumbled across Zach Pincince on YouTube and he did a video of how he got started in hypnosis entertainment. He listed his influences to a book and a DVD set. I just received the order from Alakazam Magic in the UK. It took 6 weeks for the post to arrive - thanks COVID. Whatever.
A 4 DVD set showing the impromptu hypnosis techniques of the Manchurian Approach. Anthony Jacquin demonstrates the performer's skills behind the street and bars stand up entertainment. Stage hypnosis without the organization of a theater. I think of a bar brawl instead of a cage match. Amazing rapid rapport building anywhere. Worth the wait.
This book is also mentioned in the credits so I thought I'd give it a go. Anthony narrates exactly what he says during the various steps taken from greeting subjects to creating amnesia so they don't know he was ever there and so much more!
Don't miss out read/listen to the book then see what's possible on the DVD set.
The limits we set for ourselves form our reality - break the mold.

Horrible

sounded like it was recorded on a flip phone from the early 2000's plus it was incredibly boring.

amazing work Anthony

He is the best at what he does thanks for sharing your years of wisdom.

I thought it was something different

From the title I thought it would be about philosophy and all the different ways you could see a reality. It turned out to be a list of routines only useful if you are really into hypnosis. There is not much theory, just a bunch of routines that you are gonna forget id you don't use every day.

awesomeness

loved every minute. will have to go back and listen a few more times before I feel comfortable enough with trying it out.

Theory noted, time to out to practice

I just want to thank Anthony for his time, effort, and kindness to share his knowledge with everybody.
Amazing details and narration
All respect

very easy and informative listen

I've read many books on hypnosis and, until now, I've always been left feeling overwhelmed with knowledge but a total lack of confidence that I'd ever be able to do it. Listening to Anthony's voice, actually saying inductions, deepening them etc. gave me a different picture altogether.

He speaks in such an easy, down-to-earth way and yet manages to convey such confidence that what he is saying is bound to work. He's increased my confidence and I can't wait to find someone to practise on!

If you want to be a hypnotherapist you will need other books and resources to continue your education. However, I doubt if you will find a better resource than this to give you the confidence to know that you can 'DO' hypnosis! If you can't 'DO' it there's not much point in carrying on.

Thank you Anthony, you've written a masterpiece and you read it so well!

I bought the original book many years ago and it has been updated and improved upon.

You will not be disappointed with the purchase.

The worst narrator ever

Hypnotic for sure, this is the worst narrator ever, he hypnotised me into a hypnotic state of utter boredom within minutes!

OK

book aimed more at Street or pub hypnosis, so not for people wanting to learn about hypnotherapy

Absolutely phenomenal.

So much information crammed into such an easy to follow guide. I do suggest taking notes but everything within this book is exceptionally valuable. I plan to use these skills as soon as and I could not have asked for more out of this project.

Easy listening

Really enjoyed listening to this, learned so much and intend to listen to it again. It all makes so much sense and I actually felt confident in my own ability as a Hypnotherapist and my ability to do impromptu demonstrations of my ability as a Hypnotist, especially at family/friend gatherings.

Straight to the point

Very simple to follow and good if you’re just starting out in hypnosis and want some simple techniques to build your confidence up. I really enjoyed it.

basic stuff

interesting take but nothing to get fired up about, if your new to hypnosis it's worth a listen

very informative. good audio

together with Freddy ,s book can,t go wrong love it. hopefully more the same thanks.

Full of useful information

lots of useful and interesting information to help improve your hypnotic skills or even to get you started on the journey of hypnosis.
