|description=A name given by Dr. Braid to various processes by which one person of strong will‐power plunges another of weaker mind into a kind of trance; once in such a state the latter will do anything ''suggested ''to him by the hypnotiser. Unless produced for beneficial purposes, Occultists would call it ''black magic ''or Sorcery. It is the most dangerous of practices, morally and physically, as it interferes with the nerve fluid and the nerves controlling the circulation in the capillary blood‐ vessels {{etg-source|TG}}.
