Alvin: Hypnosis can be simply defined as a complete focus on a single thing, such that it excludes all else. [...] you cannot be hypnotized against your will.

So I can't do something that makes someone focus completly on it?

I bet if some girl drops her pants in a room full of people a lot of people will focus quite rapidly completly on it and forget what they were thinking before.

The fact is that something like a handshake induction can bring someone who is a total stranger to you into a trance. Sure they will leave it when you tell them things they don't aggre with directly.
But their is room to manuver with Embedded Commands and Metapors outside their awareness and built motivation to do certain things or hallucinate things.

Its a matter of skill.

Try looking this up Holosync

Holosync hasn't much to do with hynosis, it is more like meditation.

You wouldn't call them hypnosis, because they do not match the classical description.

The problem is that the classical picture that people have about hynosis isn't realitstic. It is build in Stage Hynosis.

And their isn't a good definition for hynosis that everyone agrees on.
