Jay Shaw hypnotizes a participant named Nia, guiding her through suggestions like forgetting her name and the number 4, her hands stuck to her head, and counting exercises. After the trance, he delivers confidence-building visualizations before they chat casually about the experience.

What did I do though?
You forgot the number 4.
No, I couldn't.
You forgot your name. You forgot your name.
Um, there's no way.
Your hand was stuck to your head.

Uh, but you remember all that shit now. But that's the, that's the power of your mind, man. That's that's it.
Oh wow! Oh wow! I could never forget my name until I say the words.
I freeze. One, two, three, eyes open. All right, so we're feeling good, nice and relaxed. Is this anything like the first time you got hypnotized so far? No, not at all. The hypnotist is probably more handsome this time around. Yeah, that that that. That probably— that's what's up. But, um, this is what we gonna do. Where you from?

Um, it's supposed to be raining today. Oh well, it's been raining on and off.
That's crazy. Yeah, I wish it was in person because I usually like to like shake people's hand when I hypnotize them. But just reach up and give me like a virtual handshake, like you can put your hand through the phone. Freeze. Wait, unfreeze. Yeah, but I wanted to shake your hand.
That's crazy. It's so weird. Here, let's do the fist bump.
Yeah, we went for the fist bump.

I don't know how you forgot it, but it's like it's stuck on the tip of your tongue. Every time you try to say it, it just jump right out of your brain. Unfreeze. All right, but listen, my real name Jay. On, on this app, they call me the Mind Freak because I be playing and shit, and I'm so rude. You told me, but I forgot. Yo, your name is— what's your name?

But, um, I'm sorry.
No, it's fine, it's fine. But that shit crazy.
Can something say— let's help me.
Freeze!
I can't remember my name.
You remember your name now, but the number 4 is gone. It's like it never existed. 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 3, 2, 1. The number 4 is right here in my hand, and you can see it getting smaller, smaller, smaller, smaller. It's gone. Unfreeze. But, um, you should remember your name. You remember your name now?
What's your name? Hey, that's why you laughing.
Okay, we got the name back. That's good. I can't really do much without that. But what I want you to do is, Stevens, I want you to take your hand Right, and put it like this. I want you to take the other hand, take the index finger. I want you to count those fingers out loud for me.
Um, one, two, three. What the fuck? Uh. Okay, wait a minute. I know this. Why do I feel so stupid? Okay. 1, 2, 3. The fuck?
Hey, how many wheels— how many wheels on a bike?
Uh, two.
How many wheels on a car?
Yeah, two.
I feel dumb. No, you're not dumb. Like you, this probably the one. How many wheels on a car?
I'm like into this. What is? I just.
But you remember your name.
What is my memory? I'm sorry. Yes, Diva. Even though I yeah, Diva.
Okay, bet, bet, bet. Well, let's see. Can we get this?
Mm-mm. I can't.
Okay, I got a question. What's 7 plus 7? I don't know. You got like somebody that you could pick up, like an ink pen or something like that, or some car keys, a hairbrush? You got anything? Ain't nothing close by?
Hmm. Not in here.
Okay. Nope. Oh my God, you know what I think it is? If you touch your forehead, I bet you'll— you'll— it'll all make sense again because it'll piece itself back together. Put your hand on your forehead, keep it there, and now count to 5, and it's you with no problems. Count out loud.
1, 2, 3, I fucking don't remember.
It was the number 4. You got that back now, but that's what you was missing, the number 4. Keep your hand on your head because it's gonna leave when your hand leaves. Now count to 5 with your hand on your head.
Oh my God. 1, 2, 3— why can't I remember this shit?
This is— that's crazy. Okay, okay, okay. Freeze, freeze. So you remember the number 4 now? The number 4 is back in your life, but that hand stuck to your head. The harder you try to remove it, the harder it stick. Unfreeze. Do me a favor and go ahead and, um, count to 5.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
And put both of your hands up like that. I'm trying to see something. Put both of your hands up like this.
I don't know, I can't get it up. Is it stuck in my hair?
Okay, that's crazy. Let me see something. Okay. Freeze. Your hands unstuck. You can move, but you can only whisper. You can't talk at full volume. Unfreeze. Okay. Um, we playing around with this hypnosis thing. What you thinking so far? Why you whispering? Okay. Well, shit. We just gonna whisper then. We can do the rest of this as a. You all right? Blink if you need help. Somebody fucking with you?
No.
Okay, okay. Just making sure because you know B gonna win.
At least.
Okay, okay, okay, okay. That's crazy. That's crazy. This I want you to do though. I want you take a deep breath in. Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep. As you let it out, I want you to go. Deep sleep, deeper and deeper and deeper. As you fall into this deep state of relaxation, I want you to go into this relaxation understanding that everything we just did, we did it using your imagination. And the body can't help but respond to the imagination. When you put yourself in a super relaxed state and you imagine something, it instantly becomes your reality. So this is what I want you to do. I want you to start taking 5 minutes a day to relax your body, and I want you to imagine yourself successful. I want you to imagine yourself happy. I want you to imagine yourself feeling how you want to feel, being what you want to be, doing what you want to do. Because just like you can use your imagination to glue your eyelids shut, just like you can use your imagination to forget your name, just like you can use your imagination to do all of the crazy shit we just did, you can use your imagination to change your life. Because your concept of who you believe yourself to be is always going to manifest in your reality. If you poor in your mind, you're gonna be poor in real life. If you wealthy in your mind, you're gonna be wealthy in real life. So from this day forward, you'll never forget that. From this moment forward, in a moment when I have you open your eyes, you're gonna imagine yourself confident. You're gonna imagine yourself capable of doing any and everything you decide to do. Nod your head if you understand and you accept that as your reality. That's it. So in a moment, I'm gonna count from 0 to 5. When I say 0, you're gonna have the tendency to go even deeper into Relaxation. But when I say 1, you're gonna allow every positive suggestion that I gave you to save in your body at a cellular molecular level. When I say 2, you're gonna take a deep breath out and you're just gonna accept that you're gonna live life different from this day forward. You're gonna open your eyes and have a brand new understanding. 0, with the tendency to go even deeper into this beautiful thing that we call hypnosis. 1, allowing all the positive changes to save at a cellular molecular level. Realizing you could be, do, and have any fucking thing you want. 3, understanding that the same thing that allows an acorn to become an oak tree is the same thing flowing through you. Nobody calls it a miracle when an acorn becomes an oak tree. Wrap your mind around it. Think about how little an acorn is. Think about how fucking huge an oak tree is. 4, understanding that those same powers run through you. 5, eyes open, feeling amazing, feeling inspired, feeling light on your feet. That's it.
Boom.
So real quick, what's your name? Nia.
Count to 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
All right, we good. Did I do anything else I need to make sure? I don't— I need to make sure we sending people back out into the world correctly. But that's it. How you feel?
I feel good.
No dizzy.
No, no, nothing like the first time.
That's what's up. That's what's up. But yeah, hit me up for the, um, so we could do you a free consult so we could talk about that other thing. But okay, we can, we can take care of this shit. Definitely can.
Yeah, that was— I feel good. I don't know, my mood definitely better than it was.
Feeling like a thousand bucks. That's what's a million bucks. A thousand ain't enough. A million bucks.
I can go run around the block.
2 times. That's what's up. That's what's up. That's what's up. So yeah, y'all, that's how I do hypnosis.
Thank you.
I'm going to fuck with you a little bit because if I don't fuck with you, how you gonna know you've been hypnotized? If I just tell you to relax and close your eyes and just—
I mean, I've been hypnotized before, so it must be easy, I guess. So, I don't know. Well, did you have me jumping around like a kangaroo?
No, I don't do that type of stuff. That type of stuff, not appealing. Making people bark like dogs and quack like chickens. Nah, that type of stuff ain't mine. I do an orgasm before I do any of that stuff. That type of stuff ain't funny.
Well, thank you so much. I'm not afraid.
You're not afraid. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience.
No, it was really good. I feel good today. I'm gonna sleep good or something.
I appreciate you. Well, yeah, that was fun. That was fun. I'm warmed up now. Who next? Because everybody be talking. When people see me in the streets, they be like, hey bro, I want to get hypnotized. When I hop on here and get busy, motherfuckers be hiding. Came a long way.
