Abstract: In this note we modify a new technique of Enflo for producing hyperinvariant subspaces to obtain a much improved version of his ``two sequences'' theorem with a somewhat simpler proof. As a corollary we get a proof of the ``best'' theorem (due to V. Lomonosov) known about hyperinvariant subspaces for quasinilpotent operators that uses neither the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem nor the more recent techniques of Lomonosov.
