Very importantly… what about Ethics involved... is material and routine structure of their show appropriate for your attendees and audiences? I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Stage Hypnotists crossing that line at family style venue. I have often watched them at Fairs, performing skits that were sexual in nature and very inappropriate for family shows. I have watched Stage Hypnotists seriously degrade and humiliate their volunteers... all in name of "fun". I have watched Hypnotists elicit negative emotions such as anger & like from their subjects in shows. Folks, our subconscious minds take in & remember EVERY sensatory experience in our lives... therefore it may be long after a performance when a volunteer has a negative experience due to their involvement with a Hypnotist Show.

As artists & entertainers I believe that we have a great responsibility to provide & deliver positive & appropriate performance, especially in family environments. Factually speaking, I couldn't tell you how many times, sometimes months or years after a show, I have had a volunteer tell me how their life changed for better in some way as a direct result of their having been in one of our shows. THAT is what should be "norm" for Stage Hypnotist acts. We simply bring their inner child out to play for a while in a very responsible & entertaining way... AND we leave them feeling empowered by their experience with shows I offer. I simply wish that all Stage Hypnotists took this as seriously as I do... and I wish that all buyers of talent knew what to look for!

Our minds are simply incredible and very powerful. Stage Hypnosis is a terrific form of entertainment... when used properly, and by a real "entertainer"!

There are plenty of Stage Hypnotists who sell themselves "cheaply" and unfortunately this is often a primary consideration & criteria of buyers of talent. I am simply here to say that this is not an area of performance where you want to cut costs - Spend money and hire a Pro or please don’t hire it at all! After monitoring numerous related factors for well over a decade I urge you to ask hard questions when contracting this type of act for your event.

The fact that I am in Magic Business as well... I say to you.... don't believe most of what you see and/or hear in promo materials of some of these performers. Illusion is as much a part of my business life as is Hypnotic portion. Know that anything can be made to "appear" to be something it is not... and that is key... "appear to be"!

I have even personally had individuals whom I mentored in Hypnotic & Magical Entertainment list MY business achievements as their own on their websites... I have documented where they have removed my photo from actual newspaper stories & replaced it with their own photo on their promo, and so on and so forth.

My point is that we live in a very electronic age where things can be easily and readily altered and changed to give receiver of information an impression that is anything but honest. Don't buy into illusion... but Do continue to buy quality entertainers! Integrity Does Matter.

We all owe it to people who attendee our events to deliver Positive Entertainment Experiences. We ALL need more humor in our lives, and Stage Hypnosis is a wonderful type of entertainment that fills that need. All I can say from my perspective of Business of providing these shows, is Please Be More Thorough when considering whom you contract within my industry. I believe that if all of us in Entertainment Business work together to deliver & provide empowering performances, we will be contributing to uplifting of society as a whole... and THAT I consider to be an element of REAL SUCCESS!

I will leave you with a verse that I penned a number of years back - it speaks (albeit metaphorically) to my involvement with Hypnotic & Magical Entertainment... I call it The Magic of You... and it goes like this...

In All Of Creation You are Unique and Dreams Can Be Had For Those Who Seek. Our Lives Are But A Simple Illusion... Tainted By Perception... and Delusion.

So Believe In Power and Truth and Light Because Key is Within... The Key of Vision & Clear Sight.

Transform Your Reality & Awaken Your Soul and Cease Not Belief In Your Own Personal Goal... Because Treasures Await For You To Find Simply Pass Through The Open Window Of Your Very Own Subconscious Mind.

The Miracle is There... The Dimension May Be New... But It Has Been There All Along... Because IT IS THE MAGIC OF EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU
