I am glad you feel that the mics and earphones do not add so much, necessarily. I do tend to be a sucker for such things, but I do have a frugal side. It seems like it would be an unnecessary cost (the rooms at the office are fairly small) that would probably, undoubtedly be passed down to the client. Thanks for the input.

So many clients seem to need proof that they were really hypnotized or much of the work gets lost.<br/><br/>I tend to use time distortion as a proof, but the missing number is probably more dramatic and sounds like more fun. And since it's a staple of demonstrations it's likely a client has seen it before. Good choice!<br/><br/>The only reason I can think of why you would need a sound system to speak to someone in the same room would be a group trance, where you have a dozen people all paying for the same session. I've seen people do that for weight loss and smoking cessation, where the hypnotist hooks everyone up to the audio system and does the patter into a mic (or, sometimes, uses a recording!) so that everyone hears clearly. <br/><br/>I'm not a fan of that approach, not because of the technology -- I'm pretty geeky when it comes to it -- but because I don't believe a generic script is going to be as effective as one on one trancework. But that's a whole other topic, which you've covered before.<br/><br/>-MR What, no comments on this yet?

I tend to use time distortion as a proof, but the missing number is probably more dramatic and sounds like more fun. And since it’s a staple of demonstrations it’s likely a client has seen it before. Good choice!

I’m not a fan of that approach, not because of the technology — I’m pretty geeky when it comes to it — but because I don’t believe a generic script is going to be as effective as one on one trancework. But that’s a whole other topic, which you’ve covered before.
