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!

this year (at the Burke Centre Festival). We sincerely appreciate your time and
interest in this worthwhile community outreach effort.”

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.
