Anyone who comes forward should be prepared to take part in a range of entertaining hypnotic suggestions but can be assured that they will not be asked to do anything which is indecent, offensive or harmful.

(h) if volunteers are to remain hypnotised during an interval in the performance, a reasonable number of attendants as agreed with the licensing authority shall be in attendance throughout to ensure their safety;
Prohibited Actions

(iv) the consumption of any harmful or noxious substance;
(v) any demonstration of the power of hypnosis to block pain (e. g. pushing a needle through the skin);
any suggestion involving the age regression of a subject (i.e., asking the subject to revert to an earlier age in their life; this does not prohibit the hypnotist from asking subjects to act as if they were a child etc);
(k) the performance shall not include giving hypnotherapy or any other form of treatment,
Completion
(l) all hypnotised subjects shall remain in the presence of the hypnotist and in the room
where the performance takes place until all hypnotic suggestions have been removed;
(m) all hypnotic or post-hypnotic suggestions shall be completely removed from the minds of the subjects
and the audience before the performance ends.

(n) the hypnotist shall remain available for at least 30 minutes after the show to help deal with any problems which might arise.
