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:
 
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.
 
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)

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???

Hi Margaret I am a stage Hypnotist and have been preforming my Live show for 10 years now , For you to say tht it is risky to be Hypnotised by a stage hypnotist is totaly unfair I spent 3 years studying for my
Profession I had a successful business and decided to sell up and follow my dream of becoming one of the top Hypnotist on the sir cut today , I wonder how long your brother studied for to do his Hypnotherapy
 
Hi I am realy sorry that you have been put off getting a Hypnotist for your party, I have been preforming my Show for over 10 years and never once had anyone say my show was rude, unsafe, I spent a great deal of monney to learn to become one of the best Hypnotists in my Field , I moved to America and study under the number one Hypnotist in the world , I am a member of FESH (fedaration of ethical stage hypnotists) and I would recomend any member to be able to preform to a very high standerd so if you think you would like to book a show in the future then please look for a hypnotist who is a member of fesh that way you know that you will get a hypnotist that is goverd by the organisation

The thing is, that for every one of those who perform ethically there are probably many many others who don't, and leave the public at risk.
I did not know that there was a Federation of Ethical Stage Hypnotists.......and I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of the general public don't know either.
I worked in the medical profession for many years and I saw hynotism used to good advantage for patients on a number of occasions....mainly in the area of the control of chronic pain.......I know it has its values, but I, personally, would be very wary of using it for entertainment value.
 
My wife once went to a hypnotist to try to stop smoking. Afterwards she got back in the car, lit a cigarette and said 'He IS good! He said they'd taste awefull and it does!'
End of experiment.
