First published in 1936, Practical Hypnotism by Ed Wolff was originally a two-part correspondence course, prefaced with the warning: "Keep these instructions strictly private." Designed to take the reader step-by-step from complete beginner to confidently hypnotising perfect strangers, it remains a masterclass in practical instruction. This edition restores the original 1936 text-unseen for decades-and corrects the many errors introduced in later reprints. At last, Wolff's clear and direct teaching is available exactly as he intended. Whether you're looking to entertain, educate, or explore the power of suggestion, this compact guide covers it all: from induction techniques and post-hypnotic suggestions to presentation routines and performance tips. Unpadded and unapologetically practical, it's hypnotism made simple, effective, and astonishingly accessible.
