When it comes to helping a subject overcome any skepticism, there’s nothing quite like an arm levitation to stop a doubting mind abruptly in its tracks.

But what if the subject you’re trying to hypnotize strongly believes that even this “go-to” technique doesn’t work on them?

In this impressive 25-minute demo, master hypnotist Igor Ledochowski uses a variety of distraction methods to help a subject who has previously failed to experience (and even mentally blocked) an arm levitation.

Not only does Igor help the subject overcome this issue and experience an arm levitation, he also manages to make him go so immobile that he ends up getting “stuck” to his chair.
