This advanced hypnosis educational set is going to be HUGE! Initial reviews are VERY promising. Experienced hypnotists are saying these long forgotten techniques are priceless. This set of DVDs will be a must have for anyo... more »ne interested in doing true, effective hypnotherapy. In this DVD set you will learn about The Dave Elman Induction Legacy Induction. Who was Dave Elman? When people talk about great hypnotists of the 20th century, two names come to mind. Milton Erickson...and Dave Elman. They have equal stature. This is surprising because Erickson published dozens of books and papers on hypnosis and was actively promoted by his followers who wrote dozens of books about Erickson, but Elman published only one book, Findings in Hypnosis (later published as Hypnotherapy). Why is Dave Elman held in such high esteem? His techniques are that good! Erickson's inductions could take a very long time, but Elman would place a subject into deep trance in less than a minute! Elman published only one book, but that ONE book had such an impact that many consider Elman to be the greatest hypnotist of all time. There is very little information out there about Dave Elman, but this new DVD is going to change all that! Dave Elman (1900-1967) was inspired to research hypnosis because his father, dying of cancer, received pain relief from hypnosis which enabled him to play with Dave one last time. Dave toured with a number of vaudeville troops, serving as a musician, a comedian, a bit player, and in several other capacities. It was in this period that he began using the name Dave Elman because the extra three letters of Kopelman prevented getting better billing on theater marquees. In this period, he also was billed as The World's Youngest and Fastest Hypnotist because his research in hypnosis after his father's death had led him to discover means of hypnotizing subjects in mere seconds. This was an important discovery in the fast-paced world of the vaudeville circuit where slow acts bored audiences, and hypnotists were fired for that. It was several decades later that Dave realized that this speed of hypnotic induction also made hypnosis useful in medicine. (Courtesy of his son, H. L. Elman) We teamed with Hollywood film maker Dale Garner on this project. Dale Garner has more hypnosis experience than any other film maker in the world since he is also a certified hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists!« less
