Book Reviews of Ronning Guide to Modern Stage Hypnosis
Book Review: Simply The Best Book On Stage Hypnosis Ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Aright, I am going to give it to you straight from the hip, no candy coating, no cute lines, and an honest and upfront report. You're simply not going to find a better book on stage hypnotism any where on this planet. Consider yourself very very lucky this information is available to you at a very very cheap price. Many of people paid easily over a thousand dollars and you are getting it for dirt cheap!
If you are serious on learning stage hypnotism from a person who is in high demand as a stage hypnotist, that is Geoff Ronning. Hands down, no if's, and's or but's.
To give you an example how strong this book is.
On one of my first shows that I booked from being taught just as you will be by buying this book I made over $800.00
Did you catch that?
For a one and half hour performance I was paid $800.00
When was the last time you earned $800.00 for a one and 1/2 hour of work.
Never huh?
And I was invited to come back again the next year with a contract already signed.
Ok look, it wasn't really work, it wasn't like I was sweating up there, I didn't carry anything heavy, and the whole time the audience was amazed and laughed so hard you would have thought that I was Carlin or Seinfeld.
I have the greatest job in the world.
I am a professional Stage Hypnotist, and I owe it all to Geoff Ronning.
The greatest teacher of stage hypnotism in the world.
Everything that you need to know to put on the same type of show is in this book. He didn't leave anything out, you get practical and honest advice, exercises to make you a better performer, scenarios.
What are you going to do? Make excuses not to buy this book, or are you going to help make your dreams come true and take the first step to realizing your dreams and follow a proven leader in stage hypnotism today.
Get the book, stop making excuses.
In a way, I really envy you, the education you are going to get will be served to you on a silver platter for less than what you would spend at a nice restaurant. Ronning's book sits close to me in my office just a few feet away from me every day of my life. I constantly look inside of it, and I am reminded what a special person he really is and how lucky I am to have his wisdom so close at hand.
Also, just to let you know, this review is from my heart, I didn't have to write this, but I felt compelled to. I remember what it was like trying to find this info, and coming up empty handed. I too belong to the Stage Hypnosis Center, and have for over a year.
So in closing, you either buy the book and start making money, or you blow it off and come up with some lame excuse why you're earning the money you are right now and be content with that.
Either way, it's your choice, you can lead a horse to water, ...but you can't make him drink.
For the sake of your family and your bank account, get the book, get it now,...otherwise, good luck trying to make it on the money your making now.
To me, Ronning gave me a life, I will forever be indebt to him for the wonderful life I have. Never meeting the man in person, I can tell you from reading his words what a fantastic teacher he really is. No nonsense, no candy coatings, just plain facts. By buying this book, your family will thank you, your NEW clients will thank you, and your bank account will thank you. When you buy this book today, I just wanted to personally say, "Great decision, and welcome to one of the best days of your life."
So get the book.
Book Review: The nuts and bolts about hypnosis
Summary: 5 Stars
What I wouldn't have given to have this book when I started out in stage hypnosis. There is no fluff, it's right to the point and gives you the true nuts and bolts of performing stage hypnosis. I know many people, myself included, jumped at the chance to pay a lot of money, take off work for a week, hop on a plane and travel to in my case Seattle, just to study under Geoffrey and Wendy Ronning. He absolutely didn't hold anything back and you get it all in the comfort of your own home for a ridiculously low price. My only complaint is that he didn't charge more money for the book to keep the curious away.
I really do love everything about this book, but the one subject I find to be priceless is what to do when no one gets hypnotized. I think it is the biggest fear of every beginning hypnotist. I know that it was mine. I still remember beginning to learn about stage hypnosis and literally going on a quest to discover a plan B when the show goes wrong. I E-mailed every hypnotist I could Google and only got one response. His solution was to bring some magic tricks along with you and if all else fails, turn your hypnosis show into a magic show. I didn't think a corporate client would find that very acceptable after they just flew me across the country when they could have just hired a magician instead. I remember traveling twelve hours to attend a hypnosis seminar from a noted stage hypnotist specifically to find out what to do when no one was hypnotized but still didn't get a satisfactory answer. I just couldn't believe that all these hypnotists got hired to do a show, just threw fate to the wind, and had absolutely no plan B to go with when things went wrong. And I don't care who you are. If you do anything enough times, eventually things will go wrong.
Geoffrey gives you a very detailed solution so you will never have to worry about what you are going to do if no one will volunteer, if no one gets hypnotized, or if none of the volunteers will respond to your suggestions and you have no show. Now you get a plan B that turns what could be a very awkward situation into a great show. I know first hand it's a solution that works because I have personally used this technique to save my reputation, and my dignity, and my show. As far as I am concerned, this information alone is priceless, as is everything else in the book. Run and get this book. I highly recommend it!
Book Review: Great book on Sta...GEOFFERY RONNING...ge Hypnosis
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll explain the bizarre nature of the title of this review in just a moment, but first, the book.
As far as books about Stage Hypnosis go, this has to be, without a doubt, one of the best and comprehensive ones I've come across. But it's important you understand exactly what this book is about; it may not be what you're looking for.
If you're simply searching for Hypnosis, there's a strong possibility that what you're really after are Induction scripts. And, if you've already got that under your belt, you're most likely looking for clever ideas once people are under. Yes, you'll find them both, tersely spread across about 15 pages in an otherwise thick book. But then again that's not really what this book is about.
This book is an excellent resource about performance: how to market yourself, how to handle a booking, how to build rapport with the audience, how to arrange your stage, how to select a sound system, how to deal with disruptive people, what to do if something goes wrong, and most importantly not to use a precanned script or static show. The author, correctly, emphasizes that learning hypnosis is the easy part, but to be entertaining requires you understand the bigger picture of what you're doing so well that you don't do rote memorization. That's what this book is all about, and it's filled with fantastic information about _that_ subject.
The only distraction I found was that the author comes across as loving the sound of his own name, and interjects it -everywhere-. And his wife's, Wendy. And the pages are punctuated with low resolution, bad quality photographs of the two of them on location. Perhaps this is the point, get your name out there, but if I had any complaint, it would be that I didn't have a nickel for every time the words Geoffery Ronning appeared on the page. Hence the title of this review.
Book Review: An excellent, complete and comprehensive A-Z guide stage hypnosis.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've ordered several products from Geoffrey Ronning before and was very impressed with them, so I had high expectations for this new book on Stage Hypnosis, and I have to say, it more than fulfilled my expectations.
This is a no-nonsense, real world approach to stage hypnosis. It covers virtually everything the professional or the interested layman could want to know about performing stage hypnosis. The book covers what to do to have a successful show and, even more importantly, what not to do.
I've been a student of hypnosis for over twenty years and I wish somethig like Ronning's book had been around then. "The Ronning Guide to Modern Stage Hypnosis" takes hypnosis and stage hypnosis out of the early 1900's and bring it into today's fast paced modern world. You'll learn the EKG induction (which is more than worth the price of the book in itself) so one can confidently and quickly induce the hypnotic state in others, no more long progressive relaxation inductions.
Numerous, fun and interesting routines are given. You'll have more than enough routines for any show. Also, the routines are respectful of your audience, allowing both you and them to retain their dignity. That's important to me because I don't want anyone to be shamed or have hard feelings afterwards, and this way, you increase the chances you'll get repeat bookings.
The business aspect of getting work is covered very well. I've gotten a job using these techniques already.
The bonus chapters are also quite helpful, as successful performers detail the steps they took to get bookings and make their shows enjoyable.
A useful guide for the beginner or someone just curious about stage hypnosis and hypnosis in general. The experienced professional would likely befefit from this book also. I highly recommend!
Book Review: THE NEW GOLD STANDARD
Summary: 5 Stars
Geoffrey Ronning has written the book all others will be compared to. The field of Stage Hypnosis has not seen a book quite this good ever before. One part detailed instruction manual, one part exercise work book, and one part collection of secret tips and inside tricks learned from a lifetime of practice as a full-time performing Stage Hypnotist, this book is the modern classic on the art of Comedy Stage Hypnosis.
There are only a handful of good books on Stage Hypnosis. While Ormond McGill's books, such as The Art of Stage Hypnotism and The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism are classics to be admired, they aren't particularly useful for the individual who wants to quickly learn Stage Hypnosis and begin performing shows. Jonathan Chase's Deeper and Deeper is a very good book, but it is nowhere near as thorough or complete as this new work by Ronning.
Well written, comprehensive and filled with immediately actionable tools and exercises, Stage Hypnosis by Geoffrey Ronning would be the # 1 recommended book I would suggest to the individual wanting to learn Stage Hypnosis and get started performing shows quickly.
It's been said that you can't learn to ride a bike by reading a book. And that is certainly true. But you can learn a great deal about Stage Hypnosis from this excellent book. I would say it's much more than a book, it is a Training Manual. If you will diligently study and apply what Ronning teaches in this book, you will have enough knowledge to begin performing Stage Hypnosis shows. Then get out there and perform a few shows to earn enough money to take Ronning's live training. The live training will give you confidence you cannot get from a book.
Highly recommended.
