Stage hypnotist
 

It's my hubbys 60th soon and I would like to hire a stage hypnotist to perform at his party. Does anyone know of anyone who does this. I seem to remember a landlord of the Vic on Manchester Rd (Phil Daemon, if memory serves) used to do it, but I don't know where I could contact him or even if he still performs.
Any ideas anyone? :pbiggrin:

Re: Stage hypnotist
 

Maybe he doesn't do stage hypnotism any more.
Wasn't he succesfully(well for the woman anyway) sued for negligence in his stage act?
I vaguely remember reading something about him in respect of this.

Was that him? I remember a case where a woman from Leyland was involved, I think she died.

Re: Stage hypnotist
 

I think I would rethink it too.

I've only seen one of these acts...and that was many years ago.
I didn't participate, but felt very embarrassed for those who did.
I didn't consider it to be entertainment.

I have been hypnotised theraputically several times, and enjoyed the relaxed feeling after it.
So when I had the chance to be hypnotised on stage at Martholme, I had no quibbles about doing it.
I gave an uninhibited impersonation of Shirley Bassey singing Big Spender.
I enjoyed doing it as much as the audience did watching it.

At all the times I was hypnotised I was always concious of what I was doing, but lacked any desire not to do what I was told.
I believe that no hypnotist can make you do something you don't want to do.

Now I know more about hypnotism, I realise that it was risky to be used by a stage hypnotist.
Hypnotherapists approach the practice with more professional care, and are useful for revealing to you any subconcious worries that you thought you had coped with.

My brother is a professionally qualified hypnotherapist (but no longer practices and never hypnotised me)

Re: Stage hypnotist
 

What are you on about? and what has an ex-landlord of a pub in Baxenden got to do with it?.. I know of a Phil Green that lived in the same area around 70'-80's and the only way he'd be putting anyone in a trance would be a swift left hander.. you bandy accusations about and reckon you know these people and their wrong doings..Alan???

Wasn't that more to do with the afternoon in the Railway Beni:D:D

Re: Stage hypnotist
 

Phil Green/Daemon is the same person, I don't think he does it now.
