ZAP by hon wong

[[RH]magician]

I'll try to make this as short as possible.
DON'T BUY IT!!

No wonder why the man who sold this to me, gave me a really fair price.
The Induction requires you to change a lot(even in clothing) and do a lot!
The advertisement and description on penguin magic is mostly not true.
It's not for beginners and It's not that effective. They said it was a developed technique, you'd think that it was just one thing you have to learn but It requires you to do a s*itload of other stuff..

The teaching is really good. 4/5
The quality of the video and book. 4/5
The system itself. 2/5

but some have been able to do this but as a magician having a little interest in hypnotism, It would really take a long time to do. It requires you to do a s*itload just for an induction. But if someone would really put time into this and waste precious time they could've used to study other stuff then I'm not sure but It might work.

save your money and buy a gazillion other things with 150 dollars.

I know when you find out how to do ZAP, you can't really motivate yourself to try it out, because that can end up pretty bad; but have you actually tried to perform the effect or try it on someone?

Ok

As a certified hypnotist who has read the material....

On the upside it addresses the biggest problem when beginning to learn hypnosis which is building confidence on the part of the hypnotist. All the tips about dressing and the like are based on that bias. But it is not upfront about it (as that would tend to weaken the technique). The funny thing is most people will tend to fall into one of two categorizes - Those with natural confidence and those who lack it... If you have confidence the DVD won't have helped you really as you had confidence to begin with, and if you lack it it is not likely to provide you with it. The induction itself and others, just as good (or better) can be pulled off the internet.

On the downside... There are loads of things to talk about here. The technique used, [The Arm Drag] can be dangerous especially as demonstrated. If nothing else it is rather disrespectful. At a glance I look normal but it you did an arm drag to me... One of two things would happen. You'd badly injure me... Or I'd badly injure you (Martial Arts!). I have a bad hip and and shoulder and doing that technique on me would force a 'snap decision'. Never a good idea! Remember you are dealing with total strangers on a cold walk up! I have seen footage of hypnotist getting clocked doing less invasive techniques. From a martial artist point of view most people are docile lambs... But occasionally you will get a wolf. So it is stupid from two angles and sooner or later someone will get injured doing this technique.

To me hypnosis is all about trust and building rapport... And this technique really is more of an assault and largely works on fear and confusion. Yikes!

Plus it never really address the issues such a product should stress ... Actual technique (which includes safety and legal issues). Most of the product is all hype and marketing bs.

There is more, but enough has been said, word to the wise!

Anthony Jacquin products are much better in my opinion.

Not being an hypnosist, i still know some technique that are less aggressive and still as successful to make the instant induction, and i also dont think it would be a good idea to walk to any stranger and ''Zapping'' them.
Nice watching it though.
