WEBVTT - The Name's (Not) Bond, James Bond 🤵 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.040 It's me the dazzling out simone, checking in for my 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:17.639 charity work shift, charting a spotlight on the most sparkly folk. Yeah. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.000 I'll give back to the world by speaking to sometimes 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.840 very normal people, but I so selflessly use my time 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.200 to uncover the extraordinary behind these ordinary types. All right, 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:39.080 time to start my shift and meet today's normy Rall. Hi. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.159 My name is Matt. I'm from just outside London, but 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.920 I've lived in Perth over twenty years. I've previously worked 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.680 as a club DJ, at TV presenter and radio announcer, 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.520 and bookmakers have actually issued of a thousand, one thousand 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.320 to one for me to play the next James Bots 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.720 James Bond. I enjoy foil surfing, wing falling, pretty much 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.680 any other beach and ocean activity. But I I'm concealing 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.560 something about myself where I'm usually front and center, but 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:04.440 not the stuff. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.280 Okay, Hollo man, how you going here today? How what's 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.240 going on over there? Oh? 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.920 It's beautiful, it's sunny, it's lovely. I've had to stroll 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.479 down the beach already. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.200 So you've lived a thousand lives, it seems already. Club DJ, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.039 TV presenter, radio announcer. Possibly maybe not James Bond, but 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.560 you know, there may be bad odds, but it could 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.480 still happen. Are you hiding? Are you running from something? 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.520 Are you running from the law? Why have you had 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:37.520 so many different lives? 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.320 That's it? You know, I crash a burn at a 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.360 certain time. I have to reinvent myself. No opportunities present themselves, 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:49.080 and I you know, I just I like to explore opportunities, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.280 and I like to make sure I've done all the 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.480 things that I've had in my mind that I want 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.840 to do, and so sometimes you just have to kind 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.000 of blow everything else up and start again. So I've 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:58.960 done that a number of times. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.800 Yeah, now Perth, you're formerly from just outside of London. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.520 Very cool spectacles, Might I say thank you? That are 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.200 very very fun. They look like a cartoon drawing. Are 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.880 they functional or just fashionable? 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.760 No, they are functionable. Without them, I do find it 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.720 very hard to see you know, your exquisite detail, and 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.920 that was something that I needed to make sure was 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.280 one hundred percent locked in for this pod. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.280 So well, I know it is very important that you 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:32.040 see my beautiful vizage here. Now you've said foiling what 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.600 surf foiling, foiling, What do you put foil on a surfboard? 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:35.800 Is that? 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.320 What that is? I don't know what that is. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.200 Yeah, it's a relatively new sport. I surf for over 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.680 twenty years, since since I moved to Australia I started serving. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.720 And then there's there's something which looks vaging like an 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.919 aeroplane wing that you kind of stick on underneath a surfboard. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.920 Is called a hydrofoil. You pop it under there and 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.360 it kind of lifts the board out of the water slightly. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:59.680 All right, So running from the law future foil fashions, okay, yeah, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.600 very important things to me, all right, yep, okay, just 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.760 making my picture here. Now, what I'm going to do 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.360 is ask you three questions, and from the answers to 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.320 those three questions, I'm going to try and work out 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.520 what it is you're concealing from me here today. So 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.680 first question I have for you is, all right, you're 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:17.959 going to go climb them out and you're out of 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.720 the water. Yep, Okay, we're climbing a mountain instead. What 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.160 is one item you want to take with you? 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.560 Oh? I'm actually using them right now. I'm going to 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.120 take some earbuds, but I'll obviously have to. I'll twin 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.480 it with a playlist of absolute dance floor bangers, because 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.840 I reckon if I'm climbing a mountain. I've walked on mountains. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.920 It's a struggle, and it's I don't know why you 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.720 really want to put yourself through that. So I'm going 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.560 to need something to get me through it. And I 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.880 think music has that like suggestive ability to change the 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.440 way you feel. So I'm going to have a big 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.240 pump up dance floor bangers playlist which will really, you know, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.120 give me that woomph to get up that mountain. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.800 Okay, motivational music, Okay, things in your ears? 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.000 Question number two? 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.800 All right, you were saying some lovely things about me, 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.360 But what is the best compliment you've ever received? Oh? 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.600 Do you know what? It's lovely to rid for seed compliments, 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.320 isn't it. I'm not sure it's the best one. It 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.440 was just like a very memorable one, Mike. Mike Tyson 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.400 actually told me I was amazing. It was quite scary, 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.440 to be quite honest, but it was also quite nice. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:20.880 Mike Tyson. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.520 Maybe this third question not really helped me out because 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.200 I'm really suiting blanks here today even chrest number three 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.560 is okay. Besides me again, I was the last thing 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.840 that made you laugh very very hard. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.720 Okay. So with what I do, this will sound weird. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.920 But when I was doing that thing I do recently, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:50.560 people sometimes become a penguin or penguins. Normally that's pretty 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.800 funny because they're kind of just like waddling around. But 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.680 recently someone fully committed and did a full on run, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.920 jump and belly slide across the length of the stage 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.160 I was on at the time. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:09.400 Okay, right, so someone did a bally flop on this 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.279 on the stage. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.800 Okay, So. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.560 Right, so you're on a stage, you're like good music. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.520 Some mirk tys and said you're amazing, but you you're 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.920 You already told me you've been into club DJ, so 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.520 it can't be that you're a DJ. You say, people 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:33.000 want me become penguins, penguins, belly flops, water water okay, 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:40.520 London James Bond, animals, belly flop, motivations, climbing a mountain. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.080 I love the way you're trying to connect all these. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.159 Yeah, I'm really rea Okay, the only thing that I 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.680 have in my head and it's not right. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:55.120 Are you a zoomba instructor? What do you think? Well, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.839 you're motivating them and getting up the thing. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.440 And maybe Mark Tyson went to one of your zumba 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.479 classes and then you know, maybe one of your moves 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.680 is the penguin. But someone just said, oh no, I 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.359 belly flopped and they fell over. Maybe you're a zomber instructure. 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.240 I am a stage hypnotist. I performed comedy hypnosis shows 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.280 all over the world. Very silly things happened over the years. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.520 I've used hypnosis to help people quld smoke, eliminate their anxiety, 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.120 remove their phobias, day to day, night by night, I'm 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:24.400 on the stage. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.680 I'm scared. Now are the glasses there? Just so I 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.679 really have to look into your eyes? They pull focus? 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:30.680 Is that why? 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.279 It's that barrier? No, No, it's that barrier. It's like 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.240 a protective barrier between me and you. We're going to 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:36.680 be fine. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.080 So how through all the things you've done, how did 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.400 you get into humanotism? 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.400 Do you know what? I did? One term at Hogwarts? 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.520 Harry Potter was in the other classroom and I no, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.120 do you know what? It was? One of those things 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.320 I've always been fascinated with how the mind works. And 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.640 I've always had some kind of like one toe in 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.960 the entertainment world for everything I've done. And I saw 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.440 a hypnotist doing the show, and I thought I could 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.240 probably do that, and so I kind of went out 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.920 to try and find how I could do that, and 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.680 ye know what the psychology behind it was. And yeah, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.640 then I put a show together and started rolling down 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.040 and see what would happen, and then you know, things 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.080 snow would very quickly. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.680 So you're saying you just said, oh, I could do that, 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.000 and then you just put a show together and it worked. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.560 There must be something in between besides your terms at Hogwarts. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.840 Yeah, yeah, obviously, you know. I delved into it. Wasn't 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.560 It wasn't like, oh, I think I could do that, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.200 and the next week I was doing it. So no, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.800 I delved into it. I was like reading up old 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.320 books about hypnosis. I was talking to hypnoties. I was 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.160 trying to get my hands on any training I could 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.520 get anywhere, like looking at shows. To be quite honest, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.920 when I initially saw shows, I didn't I loved the 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.640 idea of it. I wasn't overly keen on the presentation 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.400 it always seemed to be more about making fun of people. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.560 But I kind of always thought, you know, instead of 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.000 being in the audience and looking at what's going on 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.720 stage and laughing and thinking, oh, it's funny, but I'm 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.040 glad I'm not up there, wouldn't it be better if 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.280 you sat in the audience laughing, going oh wish it 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:06.960 was me up there? You know, it looks so much fun. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.679 So that that's the approach I've had to it, And 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.400 so I kind of use the basic template of how 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.200 hypnotists were doing shows, but I guess modernized it a 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.000 lot more. You know, we get get away from the 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.600 swinging watches and the weird spirals and the strange stairs 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.120 because you know, we all kind of go into trancel 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:22.880 all the time. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:28.080 So did you start practicing on friends or people or strangers. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.000 Yeah, friends would be like did that work? Have it now? 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:31.640 Did it work? 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.319 It worked? It worked sometimes, And that's the thing it was. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.000 You know, it's a numbers game, but the first time 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.960 it works properly, you just kind of think, oh, well 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:48.360 it does work. It's a little bit surprising, and you're thinking, wow, okay, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.559 all right, there's something in it, and it's interesting when 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.080 I was doing that kind of you know, starting you 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.360 were just kind of mucking around with friends at parties 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.440 and around your house, that kind of thing. But when 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.679 you actually do your first show, you're almost like it's 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.800 almost like you got your fingers crossed behind your back, thinking, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.720 geez a, I hope this works, because realistically, there's no 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.840 real practice for your first show except doing the first show, 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.600 because you know, until you get you know, twenty bodies 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.640 in those seats and actually do that thing, that's the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.720 first time you're doing it, you know, on a stage 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.280 for real, and it's you know, there's no real practice 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:20.520 for that. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.600 So you've studied up on it, you've given it a shot, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.600 it's going it's working. Well, how does the hypnotism actually work? 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.880 Because what I know I haven't I don't know very much. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.840 But what I've absorbed is that it's kind of no 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.480 one's going to do anything that you tell them to 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.760 do unless they're kind of open to wanting to do 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.840 it in the first place. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.200 That is that true? 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.400 Yah, It's true because you're not you're not in another world, 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.280 you're not zoombead, you're not unaware of what's going on. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.000 And the way I explain it. I always say it's 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.200 like focusing on a thought so much it starts to 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.679 feel real in that moment. And when people are thinking, oh, 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.040 I don't know if I could do that, Well, we 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.880 do it all the time. You know, if you watch 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.640 a sad movie and the dog dies, you can actually cry, 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.160 but you know that dog is actually still running around 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.040 earning zona ten thousand dollars a movie. But in that 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.760 moment when that happens, it feels real. You know, your 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.280 brain makes it feel real. You know, when you're dreaming 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.280 and you dream you're falling and you suddenly all kind 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.400 of wake yourself up or and like that, that's your 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.240 brain making it feel real in the moment. So we 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.520 do it all the time, and so I kind of 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.679 like move that state of mind to happen on purpose 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:26.440 on the stage. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.400 This just so much mystery behind it all, because it 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.800 just doesn't how does it. How do you just get 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.120 a stranger up and convince them to do whatever you're 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.959 telling them to do. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:37.960 It's just crazy. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.880 Well, I think what happens is when you see on 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.560 movies and TV, you don't really see the process. All 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.840 you see is someone going, oh, I'm sleep you know, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.360 it looks crazy, it looks so unrealistic. But you know, 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.040 even when I do TV work, we're actually not allowed 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:56.000 to show the hypnotic part that precedes kind of the result. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.680 So you might see the quick bit, but that quick 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.920 bit happens after we've you know, had a little bit 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.760 of prep with a person, taken them through that nice 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.400 relaxing you know, kind of stay focus on this, take 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.480 a deeper thing just and we're starting to kind of 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.760 disengage their mind from everything else going on around them 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.520 and starting to focus their imagination inwards. So in that 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.959 process that happens kind of off screen. If you see it 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.080 on TV or the movies, it's just crazy anyway. But 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.200 when we do it on stage and in a show, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.400 you know that that part happens on the stage and 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.320 you see that process and for a lot of people, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.840 because I don't want it to be mysterious, I don't 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.880 want it to be weird. I think hypnotis of years 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.439 gone by, that kind of cliche style they used to 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.120 make all this was a weird power I was born with, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.920 or you know, this is full of mystery. I could 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.559 and I like, now it's that's complete rubbish, you know, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:46.160 it's basic psychology. It's imagination, it's focus, it's concentration, and 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.120 so you know, I like to kind of make sure 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.719 that the audience can really follow along that process when 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.640 we do it on stage. But it kind of almost 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.760 makes sense now because you know, we're so much more 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.720 in tune with yoga, mindfulness, meditation, that kind of thing, 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.480 so that you know, I have so many people who 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.679 come off the stage after was going, oh man, that 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.680 was wild. But it was like when you did that 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.640 first part. Oh, it was just like when I'm at 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.360 yoga and the instructors doing our thing at the beginning. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.560 So we're starting to become much more not aware, but 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.920 much more used to this. This using the state of mind. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.080 Anyway, it's almost a form of manifestation. If you just 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.720 think about it so much, it just it would just 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:27.720 happened coming up. Why's even networks are fearful of airing 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.480 the full process of hypnosis. Matt goes one on one 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.680 with Mike Tyson, and by the end of this episode, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.880 you will have all the skills you need to hypnotize 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:54.160 anyone in your life. So he wouldn't mad the hypnotist, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.120 And why can't you show the full process of hypnosis. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.600 Why can you only just show the fast bit on TV? 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.920 Yeah, it's really interesting. I think you should be able to. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.720 But I think what it is is that they think 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.559 that people could watch this and then become hypnotized at home, 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.320 and then that Hollywood thing plays into their minds, like, 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.800 oh what if these people are sat hypnotized at home 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.240 and they'll never get out of hypnotal, which is just rubbish, right, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.720 But you know, there's that kind of thought process that 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.480 you know, you can't do that in case someone's yet 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.360 driving along and they're listening and then sudden they get 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.000 hypotized in their car. So you know, there's a level 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.920 of credibility to that. But I think that's an overcautious 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.360 thing to do, you know. I mean I do shows 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.640 with hundreds of people in the audience, and we don't 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.480 suddenly have like a hundred people in the audience. You know, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.800 you zomked out by the end of the show because 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.880 they happen to be in the same room as hypnosis 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:47.439 was happening. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.040 I know, I think you're beginning to be a bit 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.880 closer to James Bond than you think, because if you're 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.600 just hypnotizing people, people are obviously scared of you. They're scared, 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.360 they're terrified. The government scared of you. You know, the 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.760 TV networks are scared of you. You've got power. Maybe 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.760 you'll be the next villain on the Bond series instead. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.880 I hadn't thought of that. Do you have an e 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:13.800 villain name for me? 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.120 Hypno Guy doesn't sound really good, But so you said that, 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.120 Mike Tyson said, you're amazing. Please explain, Please tell me 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:22.960 the real story. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.560 Now, that was a really weird momented time. A number 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.680 of years ago. I was in Vegas doing some Hypno 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.520 stuff over there, and I went out for lunch, and 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.880 then across the way from where I was having lunch 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.680 there was Mike Tyson was doing some kind of signing 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.720 in some memorabilia shop. So I thought, wouldn't it be 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.440 fun if I go in and try and do something 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.000 with him, So basically, you know, the mind I tried 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.880 to show me, you know, try to do the next thing. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.720 But I actually walked round to the other side and 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.400 sat down, stuck my hand out, said Mike, look up here, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.000 look me in the eye right now. So I've now 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.680 got his hat, so only his mind is kind of 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.720 what's going on and I just thought, look, I'm either 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.360 going to get absolutely wallopped here or or taken out 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.440 or whatever, but either that would be a good story. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.440 right right, yes, you know we're thinking the same right, so, 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.440 so good story either way. So you know, I kind 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.760 of end up doing a couple of funny little things 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.600 where I'm looking at that say do this, say this, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.440 and then you know, next thing is yelling at the 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.640 top of his voice and yeah, you're amazing, You're going 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.680 to take over the world, this kind of thing. And 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.120 then at that point the handler moved in and said, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.280 you've got to get out of here. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.320 Can you please leave? Thank you. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.760 What is the community like? Is it a rather small community? 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.000 And if so, are there are there any impostors? Do 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.680 you think are any rumors of impostors who aren't actually 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.040 very good at hypnotizing, but they you know, maybe just 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.040 put a plant in there. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.360 I don't know, I don't know. I like drama, I 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:55.960 love gossip. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.400 Uh, it's look, it's such a small community. There's I mean, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.920 there's really only a handful of in Australia who would 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.400 be doing this full time, and so you know, we 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.040 kind of get to know each other. But I mean, 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.720 as for you know, what you say, impostor, I don't 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.680 think there'd be anyone out there willingly being an impostor. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.320 I guess, you know, there's hobbyists who are trying to 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.720 trying to make it happen. But as for a plants, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.000 you just don't need it because if you if you 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.480 do a show that's good enough where you are able 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.800 to first of all, get you know, twenty people to 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.360 want to take part in your show initially. Well then 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.360 out that twenty people, you're always going to get a 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.240 number of people who are going to be great, you know, 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.240 at being very highly suggestible. They've already used their mind 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.440 for similar things in the past, so it's it feels 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.960 natural and normal to them. And there are a section 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.360 of the of people in general who are just naturally, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.400 you know, susceptible to be very good at this. We 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.360 called a somnambulis that's like very hypnotizable, and so there's 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.040 that across all walks of life anyway. So it's a 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.320 bit of a numbers game obviously, you know, the better 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.200 you are at your processes and that you're going to 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.320 get more out of the people. But I guess even 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.440 with a bad show. You'd probably be able to get 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.880 enough to make a show happen. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.720 What do you say, sabam a mammalilis? 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.040 I like that word better. I like that word better. Somnambulist. 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.040 Oh yes, somnambulist. Yeah yeah, yeah. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.440 What are the identifying qualities of a somnambulus? 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:18.919 Can you? 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:19.120 Can? 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.800 You just look at them and go, you come up here, 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:21.360 you'll be good. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.160 Not not really, I mean I can definitely, you know, 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.480 if you're talking about hypnosis and someone's like completely fascinating, 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.720 they're just like they're just hanging on every word. They're 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.800 definitely a few steps along the way and there, you know, 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.480 and like you joked earlier, it's like, oh, you know, 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.040 don't look in my eyes that kind of thing. I 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.040 do get that a lot, which for some people, for 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.320 most people is a bit of a joke. But there 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.240 are some people who genuinely think that, you know, if 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.440 they look at me, something's going to happen. So they're 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.560 already talking themselves into that. And what I love doing 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.520 with those people is basically if someone goes, oh, you're 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.439 not doing something already, are you, And I just love 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.520 to tap them gently on the shower and go No, 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.240 of course not and just kind of really build on that. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:01.720 I'm written, build on that. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:07.240 But it's lighting down. That's very good, guess lighting. So, yeah, 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.560 what happens when things don't go to the plan? No 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.280 show is going to be the same, right, They're going 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.119 to be different every time. How do you learn to 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.119 adapt with that? And what's B mode versus C mode 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.800 versus you know, set the place on fire and run out? 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.720 Yeah, well it's great. It's great because obviously, you know, 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.440 you've got fifteen twenty people on stage, you've never worked 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.119 with them before. Some people act on a suggestion one way, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.760 something like act on it another way. It's not like 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.919 what happens when things don't go the way you know, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.640 on those rare occasions, it's almost like every night, it's 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.879 every night something different happens, and so it's it's a 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.440 bit improvy style, I guess really, you know, because you'll 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.880 start to you know, you will bounce off what happens, 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.479 you know in that show. So if someone gets up 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.800 and does the most ridiculous dance you've ever done, even 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.720 though the suggestion was like get up and be whatever 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.720 the station was, but then suddenly they're doing a dance 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.600 that the audience thinks is hilarious, Well, we're going to 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.240 use that again later in the show, or you know 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.840 that we'll kind of build on that. So if they 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.359 say something, do something that's not quite expected but it 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.680 works really well, well we're going to build on that. 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.760 If it's just totally unexpected and it doesn't add anything 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.639 extra to the show, just kind of move on to 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:12.160 the next thing. 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.119 So what is the difference between a hypnotist and a 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.560
