Let me begin by stating that MOST of individuals who sell themselves as "Hypnotic Entertainers" are simply people who have either studied hypnosis in one way or another, and/or received certification of some type... many by attendance at a weekend seminar. Know that Hypnosis is NOT governed or regulated on a National level, and VERY FEW states regulate it in any way whatsoever. Obtaining Certifications and/or Registrations with local or national Hypnosis organizations is VERY easily achieved... therefore ANYONE can call themselves a Hypnotist, with or without any type of study, knowledge or "certification".

Just drink that in for a minute. I could train & prep YOU (in just a few hours) to get on a stage and perform a Hypnosis Show. Would you consider yourself qualified as a Stage Hypnotist / Performer... I think not! But that is exactly much of what is on stages across country today in my Industry! That is a pretty scary thought isn't it... since we are dealing with people's psyche in these shows?

Having some virtually worthless Hypnotic "certification" certainly does not qualify an individual to be knowledgeable enough to actually handle an abreaction (a negative emotional response) should it occur during a performance (which it does frequently).

Most certainly, having some "certification" DOES NOT MAKE THEM AN ENTERTAINER... and I am here to say THAT is one HUGE difference that buyers of talent need to look at ! Is this individual that you are about to hire, an "Entertainer" first and foremost, who simply uses Hypnosis as his tool to entertain with? OR Is this individual you are about to hire a person with some easily obtained "paper" credentials who is TRYING TO BE AN ENTERTAINER?

Some buyers of talent are very hung up on Hypnotist having "paper credentials", when most of these buyers don't realize how worthless it really is. Point in fact is that having that "paper" is absolutely NO INDICATION of what you are actually buying in way of suitable entertainment for your event & attendees!

In my personal business of delivering Hypnotic Entertainment, I am affiliated with only one Featured Performer. I frequently look for QUALITY & QUALIFIED Stage Hypnotists whose services I can use in cases such as double bookings for my own Featured Show. I rarely find those individuals, since Quality Acts & Performers are generally as booked up as we are. I am very frequently approached by other Hypnotists who want me to book them... so I acquire their promotional materials... I go see their "shows"... and I repeatedly turn them down! I will not attach my name to "entertainment" such as that delivered by most of these “ hypnotic performers”.

This article may be considered science fiction, just like Arthur C. Clark once had a scientific vision about 3 satellites orbiting earth in geostationary orbits to make global communications possible. Everything in this article is merely a scientific vision and an extrapolation of current technologies into future.

1 Receive and Transmit

What would be possible if you could not only receive, but also transmit? And in same bandwidth as you receive? That would change whole world. It is possible now to use satellite for Internet purposes, but in a very simple and inefficient way. You receive via satellite, but transmit via phone. Upload capacity is completely limited by dial up connection.

2 Equipment Size and Costs

Your satellite equipment at home may seem small, but it is small because all it has to do is receive. Transmitting requires different equipment. Not so much in house, but on roof at antenna there is need for a relative big transmitter. Also these are still pretty expensive and for domestic use just not affordable.
