How To Hypnotise
by HandsInTheDark©
Let's pop the fantasies and misconceptions first.

Hypnosis isn't magic.

You can't put someone into a trance unless they are aware and willing.

Once in a trance, you can't get them to do something they'd refuse to do in a waking state (though the limits get more elastic). So those stories about hypnotizing the secretary and getting blow jobs? Pure fantasy, unless she already wanted to, in which case it would have been simpler to just ask.

It's common to believe that people are either susceptible to hypnotism or they aren't. In practice it's not that straightforward. Some people are slightly susceptible, some moderately, and a few are deeply susceptible. Probably, some can't be hypnotized at all.
