James Brown is The Professional Opportunist and the co-founder of the POWA Academy. He is a speaker, performer, and hypnotherapist with twenty years experience as well as the author of the book The Professional Opportunist Wrongness Approach. James performs and teaches with a unique blend of skills that include magic, theatrical pickpocketing, and hypnosis. He has achieved the prestigious title of Close Up Magician of the Year, awarded by the Magic Circle.

James joins me today to share his thoughts on instant inductions and reinductions. He discusses how inductions without any technique behind them work and the hypnotic elements that he is currently using. He also breaks down the art behind his style of hypnosis, discusses the Wrongness Approach, and reveals the opportunities of breaking out of an all-or-nothing mindset.

“We should be evidence-based in our research and development, however, in our use of hypnosis, we should be as creative as possible.” – James Brown
