There was a very good article in Scientific American a year or 2 back. Try their web site. A simple search would give good results.

its all about making them feel very very relaxed and not care so much about what they're told to do it. basically switching them onto autopilot. i gave hypnosis a try once. i can get people to raise their arms up without them noticing but thats about it.
