Trick Linguistics: Stoned on Language

In this presentation Ravi Mayar and James Tripp will be showing you how you can create amnesias and other odd experiences, on the fly, using language (and perhaps a dash of non-verbal communication) alone. No trance inductions, just direct ‘mind magic’. But for what purpose? That part will be down to you; we will just be giving you the tools!

James Tripp is a British personal development coach, hypnotherapist, and author known for his unique approach to hypnosis called "Hypnosis Without Trance."
