Suggestion
suggestion (noun): 1. the creation of a belief or impulse in the mind; 2. the process by which an idea, belief, etc can be instilled in the mind of a hypnotized person.
"Hypnosis is a sleep like state in which the mind responds to suggestion - However it isn't necessary to be asleep for suggestion to have effect." - Russ Wilde
Russ' Suggestion effects are spread throughout the length and breadth of his work. His close and constant study of the behaviour of his audiences and his training in hypnosis have given him an unusual combination of tools with which to create some of the most startling and genuinely REAL magical effects.
"These are not 'tricks' or simple sleight of hand. I developed these effects out of a desire to perform my hypnosis act without the fear and dogma attached to trance states. The legacy of George du Maurier's Svengali needs to be buried at a cross-roads and sewn with quicklime if hypnosis is to find understanding and appreciation in our modern society." - Russ Wilde
Russ doesn't read your mind, he looks into your eyes and tells you what you're thinking and how you came to think it. But don't fetch the eldars to the ducking stool just yet, this 'power' is based on solid psychological research and serves to demonstrate the brilliance of your own abilities.
"I'm a strong believer in the incredible power of the human mind. My works in suggestion highlight just a tiny fraction of what every person is capable of. I hope it will inspire my audiences to strive to better themselves in every way possible." - Russ Wilde
