This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility induced by another person's guidance.

Watch for

Hypnosis does not produce reliable memory recovery, and hypnotically obtained memories are not admissible as fact.
