1.  The well-known "handshake" induction does just fine; anyone with
    any kind of working experience with hypnosis can commence induction
    in less than a sentence's worth.

2.  Your objective, "spend more time with the person in trance" misses
    major beneficial parts of the process of hypnosis; constructing the
    relationship is more important than the outcome (unless you're on
    stage).

3.  There are no resistant subjects...only insufficiently flexible
    hypnotists.  Every subject is absolutely unique.
