It has been found that it is unnecessary to get into a deep hypnotic trance for it to work.
quote:
Raikov demonstrated that talents unleashed under hypnosis left significant effects even after the sessions. So the method was more than an experimental oddity. It was a practical tool for learning. Moreover, as we were to discover, it could be achieved without the aid of hypnosis. The Raikov Effect is like the ancient practice by which prophets, oracles, and tribal shamans took on the identity of gods, spirits, animals, and inanimate objects, in order to gain knowledge. http://www.geniusbydesign.com/other/windocs/success.shtml
The technique is also referred to as Borrowed Genius and taught on the Genius Code and yes it is a very effective technique 
It sure doesn't require deep trance states to see results.
