In the scheme of things, what I enjoy are the more mental aspects of the lifestyle...the investigation of where personality, desire, and inhibition meet, and how what I can do can help the first two overcome the last.

Is it a game, or a trick? 

I get that a lot.  :)  My own thought is this...there are many people who are comfortable with who they are, with reconciling what they desire with their everyday life.  But there are those who aren't...who have inhibitions and barriers to being who they want to be.  If it is a trick to try to help those with mental blocks try to help discover ways to more fully embrace the person they want to be, then yes...it is a trick.  But if it helps one other person get some pleasure or some insight into themselves, then it is a trick I don't mind repeating over and over.

Though I'll add...I'm far from a one-trick pony.  :)

Why would I want to try hypnosis?

You want to relax, perhaps?  To lose control for a little bit?  Enjoy a bit of erotic mindplay?  Need help with an inhibition that's giving you problems?  Maybe you just can't talk about something that's bothering you without being compelled?  There are many different reasons to try...pick one.  Or give me another. :)

Why don't you list more about yourself?  Why don't you have a picture?

Because we all tend to project our own wants and desires onto other people, no matter how fair-minded we think we are.  We have prejudices...things we like, and things that we abhor, and all that is in between.  I've tranced many people, and tried to trance others, and I've found that those prejudices can spoil the attempt.  So I am a mostly blank slate...a comforting voice that you can color in any manner you choose.  My likes and dislikes are not germane to the discussion and practice of hypnosis.  If it is more than a passing fancy...if we somehow get past the hypnosis into friendship...then perhaps you will learn more.

What do you get out of it?

I enjoy helping people.  I enjoy hypnotizing people and having them trust me enough to let go and let me guide them.  I enjoy planting the seeds that allow some people to grow into who they want to be, as opposed to who they feel they are trapped into being.  I enjoy giving pleasure, and being the source of that pleasure.

How can you do it if you are in a different city?

Even if we were in the same room together, it would be just my voice guiding you into trance.  It's fun to watch and see what happens, which is why I'm always grateful to those with webcams who let me see what's happening.  But as long as you can hear me and I can hear you, it can be done.  Besides...knowing that you are safe and secure in a place of your choosing makes for a better situation for you to relax.

How will you know I am in trance?

There are little tests that can tell me if you are slipping away.  I will admit that I get fooled from time to time by people are are looking for little more than mental masturbation or role play.  Most of the time, those people get blocked and ignored after I have ascertained they are wasting my time.  I don't have a lot of spare time, so if I'm going to give up part of it, I'd prefer it to be with sincere people who actually want the true experience, not just a voice to which they can exercise self-love.

Do you charge?

No.  Should I?  Sometimes I'd like to charge people, if only for the time I take out of my day to do this, and the mental effort it takes to focus on that person from beginning to end.  It is something I enjoy, but it is not effortless if done right and done well.  But I have yet to tell anyone that I would have them pay for anything except perhaps the phone call it will take to connect to me in the first place.

Can I be your (blank)?

Unless your fill-in-the-blank is hypnotic subject, the answer is most likely no.  But you can ask. Unless you are from Ghana or someplace like that.  :)
