Mum Loses 4 Stone With Imaginary ‘Gastric Band’ After Being Hypnotised
A mum has lost four stone after being hypnotised into believing she has a gastric stomach band.
A therapist convinced Marion Corns, 35, she had had surgery to fit the band by talking her through the procedure while in a trance.
Hospital smells were even pumped into the room to boost the effect.
Housewife Marion, who has slimmed from 15st 6lb to 11st 7lb, said: “Bizarrely I can even ‘remember’ being wheeled into theatre, the clink of the surgeon’s knife and smell of the anaesthetic.”

Derren Brown, NLP & Covert Hypnotic Pattern Interrupts
One of the most interesting and powerful NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques that I am asked to teach on a regular basis is the Hand Shake Interrupt made famous by Milton Erickson and of course Derren Brown.
The Handshake pattern interrupt is a very powerful way to induce rapid Hypnosis, and I use it regularly in NLP demonstrations to show how easy it is to learn how to hypnotise someone…
As you may or may not know the handshake interrupt is simply interrupting the process of a handshake, which causes a momentary blank in the brain and bringing the subjects hand up to their face, whilst using hypnotic NLP language to bring them into a trance state.
I very occasionally use it on the street, once with a doorman a la Derren Brown but that’s another story. However I believe that as an NLP technique it is not the most covert way to induce a mild trance…
So as part of my ongoing commitment to teaching you NLP Skills that you can use in your everyday life here is an example of Derren and Miltons NLP technique that you can use in the real world.
