Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) Explains Hypnosis
Scott Adams has a good blog that covers many subjects in his posts. Recently, he made a post about hypnosis, and did such a fine job explaining it that several of my friends commented to me things like, "Oh, now I understand it..."
Every generation has different "wrappers" for the key points that work for them. Looks to me like Scott has the wrapping that works for the current 25-45 generation. He uses some great examples and some very well-done associative links. See if you can find them!

You may want to adapt some of these ideas for your own pre-induction talk.
PS - A tip for those AAPH members with new websites or new to Internet: be sure to only post links to Scott's post and not to copy and paste his text onto your website. The former is equivalent to accolades and acknowledgment, the latter can be construed as plagiarism and copyright violation.
A Thank-You to Eric Dalkenburg for alerting me to the post referenced. :)
