Spooky Fundraiser Fun

Next week I’ll donate my time to entertain at one of my most favorite fundraisers of the year:  the Chantilly High School Haunted House.  The money raised from this event supports the girl’s soccer and field hockey teams at this northern Virginia high school.

This upcoming show got me thinking about magic, witchcraft, and the occult, which led me to discover this new Master’s program offered by the University of Exeter in Britain.

Upon acceptance and for 12,000/year, a student can now become an expert in the “history of witchcraft, magic in literature and folklore, deception and illusion.”

Sign me up!

 

 

 

Hypnotic Success at a High School All Night Graduation Party

"You are the absolute best! I walked the school several times, and could see the number of kids you had under your "spell" each time I came by. They loved it!  Again, thank you so much for your time and dedication to these kids. You are a big part of what makes their end of senior year is so special!"

After 14 Months of the COVID Shut Down, the Hypnotic Experience Returns

A BIG thanks to the administration, teachers, and Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) at Chantilly High School in northern Virginia for hosting my Hypnotic Experience show as part of the celebration of prom for seniors.

It was a more intimate event with social distancing and other health protocols.  Yet, everything came together, I had lots of wonderful volunteers, and, most important, the students had an amazing time.

Let's go from here!

I will donate my time during the next six weeks to perform at senior events hosted by these high schools in the Washington, DC area:

 

 

 

Damascus High School

Magruder High School

Walter Johnson High School

Poolesville High School 

Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic High School

Fairfax High School

George Marshall High School

Springbrook High School

South County High School

Robinson Secondary School

No inflatables.  No mechanical bull.  No games.  It was only the Hypnotic Experience in the gym to allow for social distancing.

Halloween Hypnosis

This month I will entertain at Halloween-themed events that promise frights, scares and fun. 

Rather than my Hypnotic Experience stage show, I’ll perform a series of mini-shows to allow more guests who would like to volunteer the opportunity to experience hypnosis.  This is the same approach I employ at high school after prom and all night graduation parties.

Please plan to attend one (or both) of these events for a wonderful time!  Once you purchase a ticket for the event, there is no additional cost to watch (or try) the hypnotist.

Cox Farms’ Fields of Fear (7:30 PM to 11 PM - October 12 and 19)

Chantilly High School’s Haunted House Fundraiser (6 PM to 10 PM - October 26) 

Cox Farms' Fields of Fear is located in Centreville, VA.

Hypnosis is Super Popular at Chantilly HS All Night Grad Party

The entertainment at Chantilly High School's All Night Graduation Party featured a casino, games, rides, caricature artists and a super popular hypnotist.  Guess who that was?

"Thank you Marc! Every time I went to check on things near the cafeteria I saw large crowds around you!  I’m so happy that you could be a part of this and be such a big hit with the kids!  Looking forward to seeing you again at next year's ANGP!"
