Riding a Hypnotic High


Hypnotic Experience for 20s/30s Social Group: a successful performance demands preparation and professionalism.


When asked, I characterize the role of an entertainer as a challenging, rewarding and brutally humbling experience.  Ultimately, success requires understanding the expectations of the audience, and making sure you deliver through preparation and professionalism.

For most shows, things come together well and the audience rewards you by having a wonderful time and (hopefully) learning a bit about the health and wellness benefits of hypnosis.  I have had performances though that skidded off-track and left performer and audience feeling unfilled.

It happens…you learn…move on…and stay positive.

It has been three years since I introduced my “Hypnotic Experience” show and I’ve had the good fortune of performing before a diverse and eclectic group of audiences.  There has been high school and college students, athletes, musicians, boy scouts, young professionals, retirees and…yes…even burlesque dancers.

During the past eight weeks, I’ve enjoyed an incredible high because of a series of well received and popular shows.  Check out the audience feedback from my performance for the 20/30s Social Group and 30s/40s Group.

This week I co-hosted an event in partnership with Professionals in the City and was the featured presenter at a function attended by more than 150 members of the Wednesday Morning Group.   Both audiences were incredibly engaged, inquisitive and open to the practice of hypnosis.  I fed off this energy and enthusiasm, and delivered shows I was proud of.

In fact, one Wednesday Morning Group member wrote me a nice Email quoting feedback she received from others at the show, “He is so funny and comfortable with himself."

May is an exciting month as I’ll be performing at six high school after prom events, as well as hitting the road for a Saturday night show at the Timberline Lake Camping Resort in New Jersey.

I’ll do my best to keep this hypnotic high!
