Principle

Tell them what has already happened and they will believe you made it happen.

Practice

Watch their body language carefully. When you see a change, tell them they are changing.

Like riding the crest of a wave, describe what you are seeing, then link to the next item that you want to happen, create an unstoppable roll of change.

Your arms can relax now, taking you deeper and deeper.

Discussion

The principle of physical thought means they will likely indicate what is happening before they even realize it. When you see a change has happened and say that the change will happen, then they will likely be impressed when they immediately experience that change.
