Entertaining with Hypnotism By Ralph Read

Entertaining with Hypnotism By Ralph Read

As explained in his foreword, Ralph W. Read (a.k.a. Calostro) felt serious books on hypnotism we're "too weighty with scientific theory" and those devoted specifically to the art of stage hypnosis focused too much on "fakery" and the use of shills or confederates - not properly teaching genuine hypnosis. It was his goal to "condense the latest and best methods and ideas into easy understandable language," giving the average person "an easy-to-follow, compact summary of the art." "Entertaining with Hypnotism" does just that. It is very well written, concise and accurate. We highly recommended this book to anyone interested in learning to hypnotize. Quality, new edition. 18 pages.
