Perfect Day at Burke Centre Festival


A musical puppet show is a hit with younger guests at the Burke Centre Festival.


This past Sunday was one of those perfect weather days in the Washington, DC area.  Lots of sunshine, a temperature in the mid-70s, low humidity and a pleasant breeze.

It created an ideal setting for my “Hypnotic Experience” show at the Burke Centre Festival, a must-attend community event in Northern Virginia. 

This was my third year on-site as part of the entertainment line-up.  The professional staff at the Burke Centre Conservancy (the event organizer) is a pleasure to work with and I always attract lots of volunteers who are open to giving hypnosis a try. 

In five hours on-site, I had more than 75 people experience a simple hypnotic induction.  It was a wonderful mix of younger kids, teens and tweens, and adults.

Included below is a nice note I received from my contact at the Burke Centre Conservancy, as well as links to the articles I have written the past two years about the event.

I look forward to seeing my Burke friends again in early September 2016!

“Many thanks for joining us again this year (at the Burke Centre Festival). We sincerely appreciate your time and interest in this worthwhile community outreach effort.”

Jeannie Winslow, Director of Administration



I had the pleasure and privilege to be part of the 37th annual Burke Centre Festival in Northern Virginia.  This was my second year performing at the event, which attracts thousands of attendees for rides, games and entertainment.  Here are a couple of observations from yesterday’s festival…



On Saturday evening I was one of the entertainers at the festival's Wine Garden, a relaxed gathering that featured tastings, light snacks and performances from local musicians.  It was a family friendly environment, yet attended mostly by adults.


Main stage at the festival hosts performances by local groups.
