Excellent

This book is the real deal. Short and to the point, no BS. Well written and very readable, no previous experience necessary. You won't believe how Mr. Chase makes the art of stage hypnosis so easy to learn.

This May Be The Best Book On The Subject Yet

Deeper and Deeper is perhaps the most useful, most actionable book for new Stage Hypnotists to hit the market. Well-written, clear, concise and most importantly PRACTICAL. Anyone interested in learning how Stage Hypnosis Works, or wanting to learn how to become a Stage Hypnotist, will find great value in this outstanding book. Highly recommended.

Must Read For All Hypnotists

Deeper and Deeper, by Jonathon Chase, is worth reading and rereading. Full of practical information on all phases of hypnosis and stage hypnosis, DAD highlights the important practical aspects of hypnosis as a performance art, including many practical scenarios for a successful show. Safety concerns for the audience and the hypnotist are addressed, in addition to the inclusion of several induction methods. Chase's fine-tuning of the inductive process is noteworthy, as is his skepticism about the so-lengthy-relaxation inductions indulged in by many stage hypnotists. He is oriented to a more dynamic and less boring stage presence--which, to my mind, is a good thing. Buy this book and take a gander at the world of stage hypnosis from the viewpoint of someone who has been doing classy hypno-performances for decades. Better yet, buy this book and take one of Jonathon Chase's seminars in hypnosis, chinosis, or stage hypnotism.

A MUST have for your Stage Hypnosis Library!!

Jonathan Chase is a hypnotist who has REAL world experience and it shines nicely through his 2nd revision of his book 'Deeper and Deeper'. This second edition offers more information on making money with Stage Hypnosis and on the business side of things which is a great idea. Most people don't realize when you are a Stage Hypnotist EVERYWHERE you go is a chance to increase your marketing! Jonathan's book offers a great amount of information that can easily be used by the new Stage Hypnotist or the seasoned veteran. One of the nicest things I liked about the book is Jonathan's concern for safety of the hypnotist and the members on stage. This is something I have not seen in other Stage Hypnosis books, but Jonathan makes sure when you finish the book there is no doubt that 'Safety ALWAYS comes first!'. He has lots of good tips such as in some skits you should say, "You may get upset at the hypnotist, but you will not hit him, anyone else, or throw anything!" (paraphrasing). The books also covers the things we all need to know like pre-setup, inductions (several), overall flow of the show, ending the show, and various skits in the back that can be used for a nice 'frame work' to build on. The way Jonathan writes is clear, concise, funny, and easy to follow (the way I like it!). His years of experience definitely shine through and will save you lots of headaches no matter what your level of experience! Again, this is one book you want to have in your Stage Hypnosis arsenal!

Practical and Complete

Having been interested (and somewhat involved) in hypnosis since I was 12, I have often thought of becoming a stage hypnotist. I have read a number of books on the subject. And, not to be critical, most have contained so much superfluous information that it became a chore to finish the books. This one, however, was a true pleasure to read. It covers the topic thoroughly, without any long-winded dissertations on the 1001 rabbit trails the others seem to find. It is straight-forward and covers every aspect of what a hypnotist would need or like to know to do stage hypnosis. Of course good personal training would be very helpful, and Jon holds Master Stage Hypnosis classes. But I do believe that a talented hypnotist could take his craft to the stage with the information in this book and be quite successful. Though I am also convinced that after reading the book he will want to take the class anyway, because Jon is such a funny and entertaining character. Everything from inductions to stage arrangement is covered in this book. From the best music and sound effects to proper planning of every detail (and he covers EVERY detail) to give the audience the very best show possible. There is even an impressive list of skits. More than enough to do all the shows one might ever do. Including, how to do shows for audiences of all ages (G-rated) to shows for adults only (R-rated). You will never need another reference for doing stage hypnosis.
