About Clinical Hypnosis Training for Stage and Street Hypnotists
Many stage hypnotists are only that - stage hypnotists - and they have never taken a clinical course in hypnosis. And many clinical hypnotists only practice clinical hypnosis, and may even shudder at the mere mention of hypnosis for entertainment purposes. And then there are the hypnotists who regularly practice both stage and street hypnosis.
Which one is a better hypnotist? That is not a question I can answer arbitrarily, because it’s simply not something to hold a contest over - they each have different goals, and, as with anything, so much is up to the individual person, their skills and personality.
However, I will say that in my opinion, in general:
the stage hypnotist who also receives clinical training will have a far greater understanding and control of hypnotic power and safety issues on stage than ones who do not,
and the clinical hypnotist who studies a bit of stage hypnosis will have a far greater understanding of how to utilize hypnotic phenomena and various induction techniques to increase the efficacy of their clinical hypnosis sessions.
Clinical hypnosis training typically provides a far more detailed foundation of hypnotic processes, leading to a greater understanding of how the mind works and why a hypnotized person will - or will not - respond to certain stimuli and suggestions. Understanding hypnotic language patterns - how both the conscious and subconscious minds process certain words and phrases differently than others - can really improve stage show performance results.
Clinical hypnosis programs also cover safety issues related to various hypnotic techniques, and provides education on psycho-hypnotic phenomena such as abreaction. If you have never experienced abreaction in a stage hypnosis show, you are quite lucky - and if you’ve never had any education about how to handle it, you’ll want to get some quickly, before it does, so that you will know what to do when one of your subjects suddenly starts ‘emotionally freaking out’ on stage.
Clinical hypnosis education can also lend insight into how to wake a subject up who seems far too happy to stay in trance after everyone else has been dismissed, which can be another challenging issue for less experienced stage and street hypnotists.
And courses in clinical hypnosis can also provide a greater repertoire of hypnotic induction and deepening techniques - from Elman to Erickson, to Speed Trance and rapid induction styles, to eye-fixation, fractionation and PRM, to the Zarren marble technique and more. Learning a variety of ways to induce trance by studying books, videos and hypnosis scripts on the subject, and understanding how to modify and combine these methods, can help insure that more of your stage volunteers go into a functional (for your purposes) state of trance.
It is for these reasons that we offer a clinical hypnosis training and certification program to our stage and street hypnosis customers, because we believe that the more well-rounded your education, the safer and more successful your professional stage hypnosis career will be.
We wish you the best of luck in beginning and continuing your personal stage hypnosis show success! And if we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Hypnotic Phenomena... Huh... What is it good for?
-
I am asked this question a lot by both new hypnotists and those who have been in practice for quite a while. They just can’t seem to wrap their minds around the concept, or they are afraid to try different forms of demonstration, so I try to explain what hypnotic phenomena is really all about. --more--
Performing Smaller Stage Hypnosis Shows
- Bars, Restaurants, Clubs
-
I hear questions all the time from stage hypnotists about performing smaller shows - meaning for maybe 30-60 people - and in less organized venues - meaning bars or clubs, rather than a comedy club or other standard entertainment venu. Worries about these situations range from, "With such a small audience to draw from, will I get enough participants up on stage, and will enough of them be hypnotized to have a good show?" - to "What do I do if most everyone is too drunk or rowdy?" - to "What if I only have 30-45 minutes for the show?Not to worry - you CAN do it - you just ... --more--
About Stage Hypnosis Training and Courses
-
Stage hypnosis is one of the most rewarding fields of study and, at the same time, it can be one of the most difficult. Stage hypnosis training can be very expensive, and most seminars occur in big cities like Las Vegas or London, or at annual conferences, like the Hypnoticon convention, now held twice each year in Atlanta and California. --more--

About Creating Unique Stage Hypnosis Show Skits
-
We’ve seen tons of shows across the country by dozens of different performers over the years, from various conventions, to Vegas, to comedy clubs in the Midwest, school events and so forth. Many have had the same elements or bits, but done differently, and some were done exactly the same. --more--
About Stage Hypnotists Keeping Up with the Times
-
Now and then we get a comment or two from career professionals who are disgruntled that we Hypnosis Gurus are “selling out the secrets” of stage hypnosis, or that we are “flooding the market” with new hypnotists by offering comparatively inexpensive training to anyone interested in learning the art, and thus subsequently “cutting the fees” that the old-boy’s-club can charge for their shows. --more--
About Teen Hypnotist Training Philosophy
-
These days, when it seems difficult to get most kids interested in anything more than chatting with friends or playing games on the Internet, it is amazing to us that many in the industry will so adamantly poo-poo the idea of training teenagers to become hypnotists. --more--
