The Color of Hypnosis

How companies employ color to influence purchase decisions is a part of my presentation to high school psychology students about hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness.  It’s all about the connection between the conscious and subconscious minds, and how it shapes our views and reactions.

The discipline is referred to as color psychology, and its applications in both traditional and online commerce are timely and interesting.

Contributing to a Wellness-Palooza

In addition to the time I volunteer to speak on campus with college and high school psychology students about hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness, I also donate my services to perform at wellness-themed events.  I personally get a lot of fulfillment from sharing with people a tool to help them mitigate and manage stress.

Here is a nice note I received from a guidance counselor at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland after my appearance earlier this month at the school's "Wellness-Palooza."

 

We can’t thank you enough for your willingness to be ready, available, unimaginably flexible, positive, genuine and so generous helping us to promote wellness and care for our students and faculty.  Hypnotic Experience has been a great draw each time we offer wellness opportunities. The kids arrive curious and nervous; they leave so filled up with lasting goodness.  Your partnership and contributions are so valuable to us.

 

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!"

A Post Prom Favorite

"Thank you again for your generosity! You are always the most popular attraction and I very much enjoyed seeing videos from the night. Have a wonderful week and as soon as I know the date for next year's Post Prom, I'll be in touch."

An Amazing Hypnotic Experience for an Amazing High School

 

 

When donating my time to entertain at a post prom or all night graduation party, I pride myself on being professional, flexible, and easy to work with.  For the parents who organize and host these events to it truly is a labor of love designed to keep students safe as they enjoy an important high school milestone.

I have performed my Hypnotic Experience show in gymnasiums, cafeterias, hallways, and even from a broom closet.  I roll with it.

That’s why I was incredibly appreciative when the folks at Our Lady of Good Counsel high school in Olney, Maryland set up this area for me to perform with custom signage.  It helped me deliver a wonderful series of shows for a creative and engaged group of students. 

 

PS, I also speak on campus each year at Good Counsel to psychology students about hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness.  You learn more about my visits (and see photos) here at this link.

 

 

 

Hypnotic Experience at Lucky Strike

Rather than a stage show, I typically perform a series of mini-shows for volunteers.  It is a flexible approach that fits in well with flow at an after prom event.

Thanks to the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) at Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, Maryland for including the Hypnotic Experience as part of the entertainment at the post prom event his past weekend.  It was a wonderful event at a wonderful venue -- Lucky Strike Bethesda.

I volunteer my time to perform at an event hosted by a school, community group, or charitable organization.  I’m always available to you by phone or Email if you want to learn more and check on my availability for your event. 

 

Lots of entertainment options for the students at Einstein High School.

 

 

It's Post Prom and All Night Grad Party Time!

Each spring and early summer I donate my time to entertain at post prom and all night graduation parties (ANGP) hosted by Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTSA) at high schools in the Washington, DC area.  This is a fun way to give back to the community, and everyone involved in the event – school administrators, parents, and the students – are very appreciative of my participation.

For more than two decades these events have provided kids with a safe alternative to celebrate a high school milestone.  It is time consuming and expensive to host an event, which is why I make this a priority.

Here are schools that I will support this post prom and ANGP season.  I still have a few open days on my calendar so please reach out if you are an event organizer and would like to include me.  My Email is m.russell.hausman@gmail.com.
