How I Became a Hypnotist | My Hypnosis Origin Story
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 09. 2024
- A few of my Instagram followers suggested I make a video talking about how I got started in hypnosis and what that initial process of learning hypnosis as a beginner was like for me. This was my first ever attempt at filming/editing a vlog so please go easy on me critics. đ
This ended up being WAY longer than I planned so if you watched the whole thing then you da real MVP. If not then you probably didn't take the time to read this description either so who am I kidding lol but either way I will be posting more street hypnosis videos soon so be on the lookout for those!
Here are links to the books and DVDs I mentioned in the video if you want to check them out for yourself:

The best part is you are using your skill to help others... (Which I haven't yet seen other hypnotists do) keep up the good work...đ Best wishes... đ
Thank you! đđ
Ushnik Nagapurkar I agree!
hypnotherapists do this
Not too long of a video. Iâm glad you took the time to describe the struggle as well as the success.
Itâs good to know all GOOD performers didnât just suddenly appear/did so without challenges!
Youâve made the idea of ânot succeeding immediatelyâ much more palatable and normal.
Today, too much emphasis is on succeeding and not enough emphasis is on the importance of failing along the way.
Itâs how we humans learn and should not âfearâ failing.
Quote by me, Karen Robart:
âTo not allow ourself to fail... is equivalent to not allowing ourselves to really succeedâ
Iâm going to give Hypnosis a shot thanx to you ...youâve inspired me!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it encouraging and yes, failure is not a barrier to success, but rather a prerequisite đ
Please make a detailed Toturial on hypnosis, let it be as long as you want
Zach, can you be a teacher as to make/upload lessons for us who would like to learn ?
Maybe đ
Zach Pincince that would be amazing, iâm loving your channel so far
@@ZachPincince please do
Zack pincince plz do it
@@ZachPincince Im a beginner hypnotist and im actualy struggling a bit, because here in my country is not that popular. Would be awsome not only to "teach" but also give some more advanced tips! Love your work
Zach, thank you for taking the time to make this FASCINATING video. Very engaging and informative. I love your positive attitude, candor about failures, and encouragement for others to jump in and learn what is interesting to them. I wouldn't be surprised to see you as a Motivational Speaker someday. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video. And yes, you WILL see me as a motivational speaker (or something along those lines) someday - it's only a matter of time! đ
Your honesty and modesty are as impressive as your accomplishments. I admire your drive and I definitely got inspired by you. Thanks for the sharing
We are way diffrent on the starts of our hypnosis abilities, I watch your video and I saw some tips and watched you as you did it. Then I went to google and searched up what I didn't see in the video, then on the next day, i went to my school and it actually worked my friends are actually happy because they say its relaxing. So thanks for helping me learn hypnosis -Farist mal
So proud of you loved hearing about your journey
You definitely deserve it man! You have a great setup, creative approach, and are really good with the eye fixation induction you use for street with. Anthony inspires me to do street and stage work too. Currently I am doing clinical work only, and its because I'm too scared to put myself out there to make it happen. I know my exact sequence to run, I'm even dressed for the part. I need to just put myself out there and try, and this great message reminded me of that. I found you from my trainers Facebook Jason Linett, and you are a huge inspiration and a ton of fun to watch brother.
Glad you found this helpful and neat that you discovered me through Jason, he is great đ
Great words Zach. I've been following for a couple of months and enjoy what you do. I have only recently learned hypnosis following about 20 years of procrastination, I wish I'd had your "I'm going to do it now" attitude all those years ago. Good luck with the rest of your journey.
Thank you - that go-getter attitude is yours for the taking if you're up for it đ
Thanks, Zach! This is everything I needed to hear right when I needed to hear it. I'm feeling inspired and excited. Sincerely.
Hi Zach! I've watched a few beach/street vids and a full show. I have also seen Reveen (the father) live years ago and a few other stage hypnotists in action but didn't accept their suggestions (well, that I can remember, LOL) I think that you are just as entertaining as the best of them and have a more current style that is appealing. I'm impressed and entertained. I also love that you include positive suggestions for change and explain hypnotism instead of further mystifying it. Very cool! Great stuff. Also, thanks for saying your last name out loud. lol
And now look where you are now! Go on! đ
You are really a life-coach and a business guru xd.
Really loving you and you deserved all of this, you built your skill and you did what 99.99% of people interested in hypnosis don't do... Actually perform and grind what they learn on STAGES and with random peoole.
That's the Reason to your fast results. Going outside of the comfort SO MUCH that people won't even in a lifetime
It helped that you already have gone out of your comfortzone being a magician so it was a longer process really of grind, study, MINDSET, and actually going past fear and FAILURE.
You also turned into a sales man doing cold calls (ofc free stage) đ
Being obsessed, change environment and people you hang out with, study and implement for years.
If you fail 10 times there is no way WITH STUDY and WITH A MENTOR that at the 100th you haven't improved with POSITIVE results (if you analyzed the mistakes through the 100s)
Btw thanks for sharing this story.
Hey Zach I bet that you used hypnosis to get out of your comfortzone and your fears... to change your beliefs and limitations so that you could step out and do stages in front of 60+ people etc... and so fail and learn until you understand your mistakes and get positive results
Visualization changed my life as a business owner. Getting past the fear of selling... How? Isolation, controlling environment to focus and remove toxic people, STUDY, MENTOR and VISUALIZING myself going past fears and winning them over and over...
Until my subconscious forced myself to not be so scared anymore and actually do the sales, do the calls, do the outreach and so allowing me to fail.
And by failing and studying my failures and from mentors I got good at it after the 100th... The 1000th.... The 2000th... Time.
It all starts with one guys...
And if you are scared/you are not doing the actions...
To do that 1 stage or that 1 sale or that 1 training or that 1 call you need to change your self-view and beliefs through visualization WITH EMOTIONS, repetition and affirmations (affirmations just to make you visualize experiences and emotions brain can't distinguish).
Hypnosis also is a way to do it ;)
Super helpful video. Thank you!!
It sounds like we made the same mistakes. Mistakes are important if we learn from them. The BIGGEST advice for a new hypnotist, as you could probably agree now with, is to NEVER tell someone you would like to "Try" something, and that you are "Learning" hypnosis. That creates a tiny bit of doubt in the person, and sometimes that's all that is needed to make it fail. This is why we don't start on friends and family, because they know we don't have a lot of practice. The first time I told someone I was a professional hypnotist (lie) I hypnotized them with ease. Confidence, even if you have to fake it, is important. You have to remember that the subject being hypnotized doesn't know the lingo, or when you are doing it wrong. There is always a way to fix a mistake, or retry a failed subject. Sometimes they just have to see how easy it can be for others to be hypnotized, and then they drop like rocks.
Yes confidence is crucial, although I've found it really doesn't matter too much what you tell people to start as long as you are confident doing the actual hypnosis.
I've actually experimented with intentionally telling people that I'm "trying" or "new at" hypnosis and yet when I do the hypnosis I do it so confidently that it works just as well as when I tell someone I am a professional.
Actions speak louder than words so it's honestly not very important what you say to start just make sure you are extremely confident in what you are doing and you'll be just fine. :)
@@ZachPincince Our path is similar. I started around 2007 from a mentalism angle, which was after my card magic obsession. haha Back then there wasn't a lot of media about hypnosis even on youtube. I got DVDs from John Cerbone, Sean Michael Andrews, Tom Silver, and Justin Tranz. I trained with Geoff Ronning in Vegas for a weekend, and then booked my first show. It wasn't until I did a training with Sean Michael Andrews, that I felt I was really versed in the rapid/instant ways. Just when I thought I didn't need to buy another product, I got Manchurian Approach and Trilby Connection by Jacquin. No formal trainings are needed, and no expensive DVD sets or online training courses. I just tell people to get Trilby if they are coming from no background in magic, or Manchurian if they are magicians that want to up their game. I do think training is important if you go the therapy route, but for demonstration and entertainment, one can become a hypnotist for under $100.
The fastest (and cheapest) way to become a hypnotist is to do hypnosis as much as possible. Trainings and DVDs will speed up your learning curve for sure, but there is no better teacher than experience. :)
Fake confidence isnt all that important either.. in my experiences talking with people on street doing imprompt hypnosis... most important elements are a willingness to try something new/fun/exciting and follow really simple instructions. if they cant do those two things with you in first 5 minutes... your wasting your time- move on.
Brilliant, I loved to see this video, you are so polite and skillful - so good work, keep going and thanks for what you are bringing to other people in a honest and unselfish way by doing your job.
I figured out some hypnosis moves from you but is there any chances when you can make a series of learning hypnosis like the techniques and if you can thanks
Thank you so much for this , it's so inspiring, and answers so many questions , I just need to get out there and face my failures and successes
Thanks for sharing your story with us when you do hypnosis it blows my mind and never give up with your thing đ
Don't worry about the voice crack Zach, same happen to me at puberty lol. Kidding buddy. Love all your videos man and if you are ever in my area look me up so we can collab.
Thanks for this video brother. The truth is, I really got a self-confidence from you. I started learning hypnosis as per the resources you talked about. I hope you'll be there to help me in the future.
That how I feel about basketball and voice over when I first started I was bad at basketball and voice over but I am glad that I still gone with itđđđ
I know this video was uploaded a long time ago...... But Zach, what were the books you recommended (to learn hypnosis)?
I liked the hypnosis video where you said hypnotized through the screen. Right now my interest lies in improving performance or various aspects of my life through hypnosis. Maybe later in I might get interested in stage hypnosis.
I usually never comment but I happened to come across your channel and your videos are so inspiring! I've been watching and learning tons about hypnosis for the past few years but somehow never have the courage to just go out there and do it. Do you have any tips for overcoming that kind of fear/resistance? I really enjoy your impromptu hypnosis videos, keep up the good work! :)
Remember that you can't fail if you learn something from the experience and so if the worst case scenario is that you get it wrong which helps you grow and become better then what is there to even be afraid of? Best of luck - you got it! đ
A winning mind set indeed! Wishing you success always...from the Philippines!
Super helpful! Thanks for making the video đ
You are just an amazing person
Ultimate Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism by Ormond McGill and Hypnotherapy by Dave Pelman
I have really enjoyed your videos. They are interesting, entertaining and you project such a positive message. You seem to really care about the people that you work with and they seem very comfortable and positive with the experience. What was your degree in?
Great guy what honesty.
Here's my first success story. Watching your videos and tiks toks got me interested I've watched hypnotizing videos in the past but there mostly the fake ones with the spiral video which can work for some people but I wanted more then that then I came across your videos and was like okay. Through watching your videos I listen to your explanations and what you say and do to hypnotize people. So my first attempt was my girlfriend which at first I thought was a total fail because she said she lied to make me feel better but then I ask what did work or almost worked and it was pretty much everything I did like the word hypnosis being funny forgetting name the stuff you do. She thinks its weird that i can do that so she doesn't like me hypnotizing her. So I want to extend to other friends
Yes, what Andy said that would be awesome.
Thanks for sharing your story of learningđâšđ„
Can u hypnotize me sometime? I have been watching ur vids for a while now. I live near Athens. U should come to GA sometime!
i found my love of hypnosis and magic from spidey and finding out u literally hv / had his dvd!!
i mean...
I just attempted my 1st hypnosis. It didnât work. Iâve been watching a lot of CZcams videos and I got the Trilby Connection from Anthony Jacquin (heâs an amazing guy btw). I just have to keep it in my mind to say âhey! That was your first attempt!â I just have to remove the discouragement I keep saying to myself also.
I enjoy your videos. My first roommate in college used to hypnotize me all the time and I usually enjoyed it. At first it was things like my hands stuck together or stuck to a wall. He did things like making me rigid and put my head and feet on chairs so I was suspended between them. He always said I was his most receptive subject, but that may have been because we did it pretty much every day. We did something that was a variation of your invisible man. He did it so I could see his clothes walking around but couldn't see him. I thought I could even read the label inside his shirt. By then I was used to being hypnotized and wasn't too freaked out by it. I think I had the most fun with that. One morning he turned it around so I couldn't see myself. Just my clothes. He laughed himself crazy as I walked naked in front of the mirror looking for myself but not seeing anything.
What an interesting experience - who would have thought you would have ended up with a hypnotist as a college roommate! đ
I was lucky top get him as a roommate. A few times I remember being frustrated being under hypnosis because I couldn't do something. With time I became very comfortable with him as my roommate. I became calmer and my grades improved. I felt like I became a better person because he hypnotized me several times a day almost every day. I had this good feeling when I was hypnotized like he was in control and I couldn't be blamed for anything. Part of that was because he wouldn't let me do bad things and only good things. I got to like the feeling of control. There was this very strong feeling of trust between us. When I visited him this summer I was out within 5 seconds of seeing him. I was surprised at that since I hadn't seen him for 6 months. Do you have people you hypnotize frequently and how do they feel about it. Do they look forward to the experience the way I do? Have you ever tried to test limits of hypnosis?
I don't really hypnotize the same person consistently - it is usually different people at different shows all the time. But people can develop an affinity towards hypnosis just like they can towards anything else, you just don't see or hear about it much because hypnosis isn't something that too many people actually get to experience. And I am constantly testing the limits of hypnosis all the time - that limit has yet to be reached! đ
Hey Thom
This is Jon
I do a lot of work with hypnotists
Any chance I could chat with your roommate
Can you share my info with him?
Thanks
Really enjoyed your comments
Also would be great to chat with you sometime also
There is a guild for hypnotists ! That is very cool.
I been studying hypnotist for a year you think I'm ready?
The Dragon Geming IL yes you are
I donât think so....maybe a couple more months
Ben Thong , that is how you hypnotize your mind and convincing yourself of that, I studied for few days and started to act like I know, I was giving inductions (small steps I had learnt) to the ppl I know. it was not happening, but I didnât lose anything, yet learnt through that. Now after three years of reading and giving inductions, I still consider myself to be at the first steps.
I learnt so much through my own experience, I was telling ppl (now you will start feeling this and that!!!) then I learnt thatâs wrong, and now instead of that I say (do this and that) I give commands and that makes it happen.
Just do it man, I blv you can
Studying is great but to become great you must practice practice practice and remember confidence is the key to hypnosis
Lot of Thanks to teach..
Thanks ... Loved it! Keep putting up ur vdo ....
Your amazing đđ i want to learn on how to hypnotize. I want to watch all your videos đđ every single of them i hope you notice and also new subscriber đđđđđđđ

Congrats my brother. When I'm talking to myself / self hypnosis, does it have to be vocally talking out loud to be effective or will silent thoughts do the same thing. You really are inspirational , thanks bud.

Please teach me to be a hypnotist. Make a class or something
zach can you please teach us how to hypnotize ?
Can you make a video on how to get started started with hypnosis
So it took you less than a year? I think that since I'm so into hypnosis i can learn it too:)
Iâm only thirteen, and I donât know what the best way to learn hypnosis is, how to practise and who to practise on.
Hey Zach. I've got a little experience Hypnotizing people. I've hypnotized several of my friends and family and a few of my colleagues. I don't know if I want to do this professionally, but it is a hobby for me at the moment. I just wanted some adadvice on instant inductions. I can't seem to get those right. I've been doing the Dave Elman Induction and it works well that way, but the handshake Induction just doesn't seem to work very well for me. Still working on it though. Anyway, any advice you have would be excellent.
Hypnotist Lee Monroe hey can you get stuck hipnotized?
@@blinks3458 No. Eventually you'll come out of hypnosis on your own if the Hypnotist isn't there to continue guiding you. So if I hypnotized you and just left, you'll come out of it in about 10-15 mins(it varies) and just be feeling really relaxed. Some people have been known to just go right to actual sleep after a while. But no. You can't get stuck hypnotized.
@@leemonroe3491 This might look as a stupid question but is there a risk that the suggestion you give to a subject can last forever? like make them forget their name ..
@@joselenin7454 No. Eventually you will quit focusing on that idea and come out of it feeling like you just had a really good nap.
Can you do a hypnosis for regrets?
I love you teach me how to do it
50 pages a day for 3 weeks would only be 350 pages
Oh ya, thanks
Hello Mr Zach Pincince,
After seeing hypnosis on stages and how funn can it be, i started to take this as a hobby and i will buy books to learn more because im afride to try it on some one but still sleeps for everđ , i have hypnotized my self on a youtube vedio like imagining my palm as a big strong magnet, guess what my palms tuched each other i was very happy, but one question pls pls pls âânow u know every thing about hypnotize and u kniw what will going to happen but can u ever being hypnotizedâđđ»ââïž
The Manchurian Approach? Is that what they used in The Manchurian Candidate?
You can pay for a course and certificate. You can't buy experience
Brother , if I speak a diff language can I be hypnotized
u can if u can think on language person who hypnotise using , if u only understand language but not able to think , instead of that u process on your language via thoughs then u cannot, u must found someone who speak your default language....
Hi there! I am an aspiring magician and know a small handful of tricks and have always thought about trying to learn hypnosis myself! I just have no idea where to start since there's soo many different paths that I can take in terms of beginning my learning. So I was just wondering what you'd reccommend for begginers.
I would definitely recommend checking out the two books I mentioned in the video (I linked to them in the description as well) because they will give you a great foundational knowledge basis for getting started. My biggest piece of advice for a beginner though is to not let inexperience hold you back from getting out there and actually doing it - experience is the best teacher so intentionally put yourself into situations where you are forced to practice. And remember that failure is not a bad thing - to avoid failure is to avoid many valuable lessons that you won't get anywhere else. Best of luck! đ
Hey Zach Princince could you help me with inductions. I'm a beginner in hypnotism and know how to relax them but it never works out.
but where do you start, i wanna get into it and i wanna do it on a budget but i have no clue where i should begin. any advice?
Haiiii zach. Can you make a video on how to do hipnosis?
Also, Keep up the good work man i love your vids!
Can you teach me please but I can't speak English very well ,đ
First get some practice learning on your own with the resources I recommended to start off and we'll go from there đ
Bro can you give me idea/s.
I am a new in hypnosis. I want to grow taller few inches. Can you give me tips for visualization becoming taller. Or anything, tools that you know from your perspective as hypnotist that could help me.
You have great content.
Thanks.
Remember that expectation is a self-fulfilling prophecy - I cannot guarantee you any specific results but I can guarantee you WON'T get the results you are after if you don't facilitate a belief that what you desire is attainable
Firstly, thank you so much for this video, I've been looking for something like this for ages, and its great to hear a genuine story, one question, do you think you could ever make a video about some of the things you did wrong when you were starting out, how to avoid minefields and all that stuff so you can get people off the ground quicker? If not just maybe reply with something that might help, I've just started studying hypnosis and had my first couple of attempts a few days ago (success varied from not successful at all to about 2 seconds of "oh hey look hes actually under" before he smiled and came out). Also haven't invested any money in it yet because money is a little tight atm, although might get those books you were talking about, don't think we have any CD players xD. Thanks for the help!
zach i love your video but can you use clipped mic or something so i can hear you clearly..thanks
I did get a boom mic that I will be using for future videos, so don't worry - the audio quality will be improving đ
Can you tell me the boks most important for learn to be able like you in hipnosis?
Thanks, I like yours videos.
Sorry for my english, I'm italian...
I linked to all the resources I recommended in this video in the description - also look up a book called "Monsters & Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis" which is another must-read as well đ
Someone teach me!
I want to learn hypothesis.i will study any courses bro
Please make a tutorial
One super question đcan u do self hypnosis?
How long do you think it will take me to learn and what can I do to start
I learned hypnosis just watching *The Vampire Diaries* but I don't recommend total failure ;)
Can u learn hipnosis by just watching videos and Google info n not but all the videos n books u have link. After all it all u learn by just reading
what is the book of hypnosis if I want to learn hypnosis, I know nothing on the subject.
Does hypnosis work if I have an accent?
There are ways in which hypnosis could be done non-verbally so technically you could even do hypnosis without saying a word. Obviously verbal communication does help the process quite a bit though, so as long as the person you are working with is able to comprehend your accent enough where they can still understand what you saying to them then it makes no difference. đ
I want learn hypothesis.what I will do
zach can you teach how?
Are you a spiritual person or do you view hypnotism as seperate?
Hypnosis works great let me help you with your problems but i canât relax ok listen to me
I tried hypnosis for my school performance on Friday like u did umm they just laughed and nothing worked embarrassed I havenât went back to school yet
My first time trying hypnosis nothing worked and people laughed at me as well. But YOU get to decide whether that experience is an opportunity to quit and give up or an opportunity to learn and get better. I bet you can guess which decision I made. So which one will you make? đ
Zach Pincince Oh my god Iâm bout to cry đ€thanks Iâll keep going Iâll try it on my sister today
Zach Pincince Iâm trying it right now
Zach Pincince how do I put her to sleep đ
How much school
I want to be a hypnotist
How many years when you master hypnosis
