Stage Hypnosis

I remember my mate being hypnotised on stage at a show and it was hilarious. He said, “I knew what I was doing but I could not stop.” Performing hypnotists are a special breed because they are the ones who put in the practice and become as good as they are.

How is stage hypnosis different?
Stage hypnosis is done for entertainment purposes opposed to hypnotherapy which is done for therapeutic reasons.
Usually when someone is willing to be hypnotised they do not try and fight the hypnotic induction, therefore their mind is more open to influence. With stage hypnosis you can bet that your subject will nearly always try and fight your influences so as a hypnotist you have to be very well trained, however the rewards are very nice. You can get paid up to $3000 a show which definitely makes practising worth your while.

Stage hypnosis is a performance
The whole point of this activity is to entertain an audience so as a performer you need to be able to engage the crowd as well as your hypnosis subject and create a story that will keep people in the seats. The best stage hypnotists will hypnotise several people at one time… wow is all I have to say about that.

Do you want to become a stage hypnotists?
If this is a career that you want to pursue then I would recommend getting training from professionals who do this for a living. If you want a referral then have a look at this hypnosis website.
