Stop Smoking Mentalism – Close Up Hypnosis

Author: Dr. Fabio Tabbo

Effect: Engage a spectator in a captivating stop-smoking hypnosis experiment. They will imagine smoking an invisible cigarette, experiencing the sensations of real tobacco — from the aroma of smoke to the feeling of coughing. As they bring the imaginary cigarette closer, they’ll feel warmth, and when they extinguish it on their hand, a sharp burn will be felt!

This effect is versatile and can be performed in any setting, appearing completely impromptu and without gimmicks, even with the performer at a distance.

KEY POINTS

• The participant remains visible throughout and is never physically touched. No marks or traces are left behind. You begin and end clean, showing empty hands at all times. No special clothing is required.
• No lengthy scripts to memorize, no cheat sheets, and no complicated narratives.
• No real cigarettes are used, making it suitable for non-smoking environments. A version for non-smokers is also included.
• All potential outcomes are accounted for.
• The effect can be repeated immediately.

This method incorporates a wealth of techniques from mentalism, hypnosis, magic, psychology, linguistics, and NLP. Each aspect, from adjunctive suggestions to embedded commands, is thoroughly explained. A dedicated chapter on “Thirteen Steps to Misremembering” enhances your understanding. Regardless of your current skill level, this comprehensive approach accelerates your learning, allowing you to create unforgettable experiences for your audience.

With a meticulously crafted script refined through countless performances, you will be equipped to deliver a dynamic, audience-focused, and reliable hypnotism routine.
