Trance is a state of hypnosis.
There are several types of hypnosis techniques, including traditional hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and self-hypnosis. Traditional hypnosis involves inducing a trance-like state to access the subconscious mind, while Ericksonian hypnosis uses indirect suggestions and language patterns. NLP combines hypnosis with language techniques to change behavior patterns, and self-hypnosis involves inducing a hypnotic state on oneself for self-improvement or relaxation.
Hypnosis is considered an altered state of consciousness where a person is in a highly focused and relaxed state. It involves heightened suggestibility and focused attention on specific thoughts or tasks directed by a hypnotist.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a way to alter the mental state of a person. Some magicians use hypnosis, real or pretended, as part of their acts.
No, hypnosis is simply a state of extreme relaxation where a person is more open to suggestion. When a person is under hypnosis they will not do anything they would find morally objectionable under normal circumstances.
is identical to that of a person in a relaxed, awake state.
The social-cognitive perspective views hypnosis as a response due to different aspects of it, not as an altered state.
State theory suggests hypnosis alters a person's state of consciousness, leading to increased suggestibility and reduced awareness of external stimuli. Dissociation theory proposes that hypnosis involves a splitting of mental processes, allowing for a level of detached observation and responsiveness to suggestions. Social influence theory suggests that hypnosis is a product of the relationship between the hypnotist and the participant, with expectations and compliance playing a significant role in the experience.

Posthypnotic suggestion is a suggestion implanted into your unconscious mind while you were in an induced state of hypnosis by a hypnotist that you carry out after you've been brought out of hypnosis.
now for my answer...it is possible, you must be skilled in waking hypnosis (yes, there is such a thing), conversational hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (nlp), inbedded commands, language patterns and indirect hypnosis. He need not be "in hypnosis" as such, just change his "state". Once again I say yes, you can, but you must be skilled...I am a certified hypnotist and an nlp practitioner...I know what I am talking about.
There are two main thoughts about the origins of the use of hypnosis. First off hypnosis is really just getting a person into a certain brainwave, or state of mind. It is a natural state and we are in hypnosis just before we go to sleep, and when we first wake up. Also when we "daydream" we are in a state of hypnosis. So to use that analogy, some say the origins go back to Ancient Egypt during the reign of Ramses the XII. However really, if one says hypnosis is a certain state of mind then we can go back much further because sitting around a campfire and chanting or beating a drum will put you in that state also. However, as far as modern day hypnosis we can go right to Franz Mesmer (1734-1815). Mesmer is where we get the term "mesmerized" today. Mesmer treated patients in groups and individually and had a lot of success in doing so. One could say that he is the founding father of modern hypnotherapy.
