Sunday March 3rd, 6-8pm – Improving Inductions

Sunday March 17th, 6-8pm – Bringing it All Together

Previous Workshops
Classes at Charmed 2024, 12-14th January 2024
Of Course it Worked
Hands-free orgasm, amnesia, hallucination… some suggestions are infamous for being more difficult for both subjects and hypnotists to make a reality. But why? In each case the concept is simple and easy to explain. The obstacle tends to be either a lack of belief that a suggestion will work, or a subconscious lack of understanding of what is required.
In this class Trix and Sinister will give you the tools you need to overcome these challenges. By starting with suggestions you know do work, they’ll demonstrate how to leverage these successes into an acceptance of the most intense hypnotic phenomena.
Gaslighting for Kink
Do you enjoy playing with reality manipulation, confusion, and dependency in your BDSM play? Would you like a set of tools to bring more depth and intensity to your scenes?
Gaslighting is a set of abusive and insidious tactics that aim to manipulate through causing the victim to doubt their reality. When used consensually in kink, it can be an amazing tool for the darker kinds of psychological kink.
We’ll take a risk-aware approach as we explain how gaslighting shows up in our psychological play, and how to employ the language of gaslighting in your own scenes while centring consent and negotiation, including our tips for handling effective check-ins for on-going play.
Besides, you promised you’d come to our workshop, don’t you remember?
This class will be suitable for those already playing with darker themes who want to expand their verbal toolkit and play with reality manipulation more intentionally.
Dual Inductions and Induction Duels
Whether it’s teaming up to bring a subject into trance; fighting over the lions share of a subject’s mind; giving conflicting suggestions to fractionate and confuse; or having one voice guide while the other whispers mantras- two ‘Tists can be an awful lot of fun for a subject. And when there’s two hypnotists going head to head in a trance battle, things can get very interesting indeed! Trix and Sinister pick apart their tips and tricks for cooperative and adversarial trancing, with plenty of demos both from the audience and with each other.
The Transformation Toolkit
Dolls, robots, sex slaves, bimbos, servants, hucows… The list of what you can transform a subject into is limited only by your imagination! In this class, Trix and Sinister will provide their simple formula to create successful transformation suggestions, adaptable for your own desires.

The Hypnotist’s Guide to Dirty Talk
What if your dirty talk could make every touch electrifying, take your partner to new heights of intensity, and turn the experience into something utterly unforgettable? Erotic hypnotists Imaginatrix and Sinister will show you how! Language can be a powerful tool for shaping experiences, but often we get so swept up in the physicality of intimate play that we forget to use our words. Demonstrating basic hypnotic principles they will show you how to use dirty talk intentionally to intensify any kind of erotic experience.
Seeing Less, Feeling More: Heightening Pleasure through Restricting Senses
When we’re being intimate we engage all of our senses in what we’re doing – but sometimes that means we miss the subtle things. By restricting which senses we have access to we can often find that what’s left is more sensitive, more responsive, and more pleasurable. Professional dominatrixes and erotic hypnotists Imaginatrix and Sinister will help you explore how even a simple blindfold can magnify your experience, and how we can go further than that to even greater effect. Bring a partner, and be ready to try it for yourself as they lead you through a sensual journey of opening your senses.

Hypnotic Deepeners and Trancing with Flow
Tickets: https://billetto.co.uk/e/hypnotic-deepeners-and-trancing-with-flow-tickets-662983
A good hypnotic experience doesn’t stop at the induction. In fact, it’s just getting started! Once we have a subject beginning to go inward and opening up to the ideas we have, there’s so much more to do. Deepeners help to create that subjective experience of depth that many subjects crave, and build more intensity into the experience. Trance in itself can be the goal, not just a means to an end.
In this class, Trix and Sinister will focus on making trance more fulfilling, rich and effective. We’ll cover different ways to take a subject deeper, how approach trance beyond the binary of ‘in’ and ‘out’ of hypnosis, and our personal approaches to finessing the experience for the subject. We’ll demonstrate how to go beyond the overly simplistic induction>deepeners>suggestions>wakener model of hypnosis and enjoy embracing a more flowing trance.
This 2 hour class will take place on Zoom. The time zone shown here is UK, to see the class in your time zone go to https://notime.zone/N6cxLTJ01Y…

Hypnosis for pleasure: create, enhance, restrict — with @sinisterdenial
https://fetlife.com/events/1109847
Hypnotic pleasure goes far beyond the infamous “Hands-Free Orgasm”. Hypnosis offers some potent ways to twist pleasure and arousal into something agonisingly sensual and hedonistically sadistic. To amplify an experience into something transcendental that goes beyond what’s possible via purely physical means.
CREATE
Imagine using hypnosis to create feelings in your subject that go beyond their physical capacities for pleasure, to condition them to desire to please you more deeply, or to live out impossible fantasies.
ENHANCE
How would it be to enhance your partner’s sensations to bring them to new heights of ecstasy, for every inch of their skin to be an erogenous zone, for your slightest caress to be enough to have them begging for more… or begging for the pleasure to stop as it overwhelms them.
RESTRICT
We always want what we can’t have. Think how powerful it would be to limit a subject’s access to pleasure or release in order to drive them further into your control, or tease them into delicious desperation as the intensity of their arousal rises to a level beyond anything they’ve known.

Charmed! (Online)
https://charmedhypno.org
Sadistic Hypnosis 4 hour pre-con
Many hypnotic fantasies center around themes of non-consent, coercion, loss of agency. Hypnotic play can unlock some very intense emotional states: it can allow you to create fear, shame, disorientation, vulnerability; it can make a stranger of someone you’ve played with for a long time; it can realize fantasies that would otherwise be too dangerous or too fantastical to play out, and in a way that immerses the participant into the scene while allowing them to retain a subconscious sense of safety. The possibilities for using hypnosis for sadistic play are plentiful, and in this class Sinister and Trix will take a risk aware approach to utilizing hypnosis, gaslighting, narrative framing and flow, mind games, threats and physicality to create rich, dark scenes.
