Hypnosis originates from the practice of Mesmerism, being an attempt at what the surgeon James Braid described as "rational mesmerism".
Following in Faria's thoughts was the Scottish physician James Braid.

Although some would trace the practice of hypnotherapy back to Faria, Gassner, and Hell, it is conventional to trace what we now know as hypnotism back to the Scottish surgeon James Braid's reaction to a public exhibition of mesmeric techniques given by Charles Lafontaine in Manchester on 13 November 1841.
The opening event in 1911, witnessed by over a thousand spectators, was an exhibition match between James Braid and Harry Vardon.
Harry Vardon and James Braid both had medium length putts at the final hole to force a play-off, but they missed and Herd took the Championship.
The original nine-hole course was designed by Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews and was modified and extended to 18 holes by James Braid in 1934.
