The Waterplate Mimicry Hypnosis Induction

I know a lot of hypnosis inductions but had never heard of this one before . . . so when I saw this video and how it begin, I found it very intriguing . . .

WATERPLATE MIMICRY HYPNOSIS INDUCTION ONE

I must admit that I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the point as I couldn't see clearly what was being referred to.  Then, I found another style of performing this powerful hypnosis induction that really shows the nuances.

WATERPLATE MIMICRY HYPNOSIS INDUCTION TWO
Trance Partner: Jeep, Hypnotist: Tony

I must say I felt a bit silly once the method was fully revealed.  It's a straightforward thing but my hypercritical hypnomind was running full gear attempting to analyze the hypnotic operators that were engaged in the process.  Sheesh.

Okay, I know, this month's Hypnotic Video Challenge (web) from the Society of Experiential Trance (web) and the Hypnosis Technique Exchange (web) has been MYSTICAL MAGICKAL EXPERIENCE AND BEYOND TRANCE FUNNESS (web) and that next month we're moving into the exciting and fun realm of WALKABOUT TRANCE STREET HYPNOSIS (web) but here's a nice little side challenge for those who wish to give it a go in these contexts or otherwise . . . how would you adapt the Waterplate Mimicry Hypnosis Induction gag into a genuine hypnotic induction?

All the best,
Brian
