Hypnosis Shows
F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Is there a minimum audience size requirement
for Hypnosis shows?
A. In order to have a enough volunteers on stage that will become "the stars of the show" (as
well as ensuring a sufficient sized audience remaining), some Hypnotists request an
absolute minimum overall attendance of 100-120 people. Master Hypnotist Paul Anthony however routinely performs fun and
highly-interactive hypnosis shows for smaller groups as does
Ian Stewart. (Minimum 40 people.)
Q. How long is a
typical hypnosis show and how does it work?A. Generally, Hypnosis shows are approximately 75 minutes in
duration. The Hypnotist will attempt to induce the volunteers into
a very relaxed state of consciousness (i.e. hypnotic trance) - but obviously some people are more susceptible to "the Power of Suggestion" than others.
It is a completely transparent, observable, utterly harmless and
very relaxing process which merely uses language to help influence
the behavior of the volunteers on stage.
At the Hypnotist's discretion and through a process of elimination, all
but the very best remaining subjects are sent back to their seats
to rejoin the audience. The remaining volunteers on stage are then
guided through a number of very controlled, carefully orchestrated, entertaining
and non-harmful fictional scenarios created by the Hypnotist.
Q. Is the show appropriate for a corporate event/corporate
audience?A.
Absolutely — in fact the shows work best when all or most of the
people attending know each other and ... what type of an
entertainment program
*to expect. None of the Hypnotists
represented by K&M Productions utilize risqué, offensive,
sensitive or lewd scenarios during their respective shows. Everything
is just great fun for the volunteers and pure entertainment for the audience.
Volunteers upon being released from the hypnotic state will feel
refreshed, relaxed and revitalized - as if they have experienced several hours
of very restful sleep. They are always treated with great care and the utmost respect by the Hypnotist.
* On very rare occasions, there may be some audience members
who, because of their particular religious or cultural beliefs,
might find this type of show offensive (rather than simply entertaining and
harmless
good-natured fun) when viewing the participants on stage reacting
to the Hypnotist's suggestions. If this could be the case with any of your
attendees, we'd
suggest careful consideration and if possible polling
them in advance, before booking this type of a
show. We would also be
very pleased to suggest any number of alternative entertainment/show
recommendations based on an in-depth discussion with you whether via phone,
e-mail or in person. ALL entertainment, the ability to allow oneself to be
entertained, as well as how and what entertains us, are all
matters of subjective, individual interpretation and personal taste.
Q. What type of corporate functions are appropriate
for a Hypnosis show, and what type of functions aren't?A.
Generally, a Hypnosis show can be performed at any type of
corporate event where the entire audience is seated, either
theatre style or in table rounds (for luncheons, dinners,
banquets, galas, etc.) It is imperative that the Hypnotist
have the audience's undivided attention.
A cocktail reception or other informal social setting where the guests are
distracted, or standing
and mingling with each other will not work, nor can
Hypnosis be performed on a strolling basis.
(Yes, we've been asked for this!) Other more suitable forms of strolling entertainment (which K&M
Productions also represents) are more suitable for receptions and hospitality events.

Q. What is the cost for a 1st class, professional
stage Hypnosis show?A.
Generally it is in the same realm of what a company would expect
to pay for a well-known, respected and established Business
Speaker. It is a highly specialized form of entertainment,
presented by skilled, professional experts with many years of
experience in entertaining a wide variety of audiences. Pricing is dependent on
the reputation,
career highlights, media exposure, name recognition and popularity of the
Hypnotist, audience size, as well as other variables
including whether a weekday or weekend event and how far the show
venue is from the Hypnotist's locale.
Depending on the geographic location of where the event is being
hosted, additional costs for travel expenses, accommodations and meals may also be
incurred and are the Client's responsibility over and above
the show costs as are audio-visual requirements in certain cases.
