Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series, 2012/13
Abstract
In 1981 when Martin S Taylor gave his first lecture-demonstration of hypnosis he assumed, like most people, that hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. In the thirty years since then he has revised this opinion and he now believes that – on stage, at least – hypnosis is just a combination of suggestion, peer pressure and obedience.
Tonight he will be combining a thoroughly scientific debunking of the trance myth with anecdotes from his career, while illustrating them with video clips of his performances, and – who knows – maybe some live demonstrations on the audience.
All without using hypnosis, of course.
Biography
Martin S Taylor has worked as a professional stage hypnotist for over twenty years, giving lecture demonstrations at universities and colleges and, most recently, in schools. He is also a skilled close-up magician. Find out more at http://www.hypnotism.co.uk/
