New hypnotists worry they’ll look stupid.
So how does one go from reading about hypnosis and watching hypnosis videos to actually hypnotizing people without looking stupid?
We’ve heard tons of similar questions over the years
In this short blog post and accompanying video, we’ll talk about:
Why you need practice to get good at hypnosis
How to find people to practice with.
How to master hypnosis in record time.
Like most things, hypnosis requires practice in order to be done well. But just watching hypnosis videos or reading hypnosis books and online articles isn’t really practice. We appreciate that you like our content, but we want you to actually go out and do this stuff.
Of course having a lot of knowledge about the subject can boost your confidence, but there are nuances to practicing hypnosis you can’t learn from a book or the Internet. It has a lot to do with your personality, how you communicate and what techniques you do best.
We have a vast number of articles on this blog where we teach techniques to become more confident, to be a better communicator and to calibrate how other people respond to you. By all means, read them all, but make sure to get excited about actually applying this theoretical knowledge in your life as a hypnotist.
To get started, it’s best to avoid people who are very close to you. We’re talking about your immediate family and lifelong friends. To them, you don’t have any credibility as a hypnotist yet, so they’ll have a lot of trouble taking you seriously.

It’s no fun trying to hypnotize someone who doesn’t see you as a hypnotist. Because you have no prestige, chances are you’ll be making a fool of yourself. These bad experiences might hinder your ability to feel (and appear) confident, which is an essential trait of any good hypnotist.
It’s a far better option to practice with other hypnotists, either in person or in special online practice rooms, which are available to all students of Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy (MMHA).
