2.0 out of 5 stars Its ok, BUT..., May 9, 2001

By	Dustin Stonebraker (Covington, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews

Fun With Hypnosis is ok, It does explain some of the basics of hypnosis, and it gives a short history as well, it even gives you a few scripts. But this is not a good book for you to begin your understanding of hypnosis. When I first started with hypnosis I bought this book first. I wish I hadnt. It was dissapointing. A better choice for the new hypnotist or the curious is Hypnotherapy by David Elman, or Hypnosis for change by Josie Hadley and Carol Staudacher, or even Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors by D. Corydon Hammond (Its worth it for anyone that is interested in clinical hypnosis.) I have bought over 35 books on the subject. And this one is the one I disliked the most. I hope this helps. Good Luck and Good Day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun With Hypnosis, December 21, 1999

By	Bill O'Connell (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Awesome Book! This easy-to-read manual will teach you EXACTLY what to do, step-by-step, if you want to learn how to hypnotize others! If you were to buy just one book on the subject, this would be the one!

2.0 out of 5 stars Be careful when reading customer reviews, November 7, 2000

By A Customer

The book has a few hypno scripts and that's it. (hypno scripts are available everywhere from the net for FREE)

Unfortunately he is not Professor Svengali and his real name is David Geliebter, again if the name is real at all. When an author does not even put his/her real name on the cover of a book, it sure tells something about the quality of it, especially with reader reviews filled with phrases such as "Must buy it" or "The Best Book."

If I were to spend my hard earned money on learning hypnosis, the best is to learn it from a real person and stick with books written by the real professional such as Ormond McGill. Also always check out net resources (e.g. FAQ) for hypno book recommendation before buying any.
