A 'tool' some Hypnotist use to gauge how easy or not how easy a person can be hypnotized is playing the child's game
"Simon Says". If you remember, if the game is played long enough, everybody 'loses'. Those who 'lose' first are generally the best candidates for hypnotize whereas those who take a long time, are considered poor candidates. By using this criteria, it seems to indicate everybody can be hypnotized.
As for me, the area of hypnotizes I enjoyed the most was stage hypnotizes. My forte was seeing people squirm in their chair because they had just been 'glued' to their seat.
