All this and more....

It is our personal belief that stage hypnosis should be conducted in such a manner as to maintain the moral, emotional and psychological well being of the participants at all times while providing top quality entertainment.

It is this ethos that provides the basis for all of our shows. At all times the subjects are treated with the utmost courtesy and respect, they are never humiliated or degraded. Our act is performed in good taste, and the volunteers have a most positive and thrilling experience, as they are the real stars of the show.

At all times we are aware of our responsibilities to the audience, that they may see hypnosis in a true light, and to the subjects that they may enjoy the experience of being hypnotised. All hypnotic and post-hypnotic suggestions are removed from the minds of the participants at the end of each performance. Post-hypnotic suggestions only take place in our presence. Only genuine volunteers are used.

At the end of each performance specific instructions are given to each participant, as well as to the audience, that they will awaken feeling refreshed, calm, relaxed and confident, being back to normal in each and every way.

Steve and his assistants remains behind after the end of each performance to chat to volunteers and members of the audience, answering any questions they may have. Each subject is thanked individually for their participation.


Steve is recognised as a dynamic and progressive entertainer who has brought the art of stage hypnosis into the twenty first century.

He is recognised for being a refined and respectful hypnotist who brings the charisma of a world class showman to the stage .

Steve serves on the governing body of the Federation of Ethical Stage Hypnotists (FESH) and is a member of the British Actors Equity.

With his vast experience as a stage hypnotist he delivers an exhilarating show entertaining audiences ranging in size from

What is hypnosis?


Introduction

Hypnosis is a subject that fascinates and intrigues millions of people. It conjures up many images and emotions, and has consistently proved to be a very popular form of entertainment.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis has long been associated with the strange and mysterious, but the truth is that it is a natural state of mind during which the imagination rather than the intellect is active. Each of us has experienced a hypnotic state literally thousands of times but may not have noticed it because it seemed so natural.
Daydreaming, reading, watching television, listening to music and physically repetitive actions can produce it quite spontaneously. Whenever we become absorbed in what we are doing, we slip into hypnosis. We call these spontaneous states of mind “informal hypnosis”, as opposed to “formal hypnosis” which is induced purposely by a hypnotist.

Misconceptions about hypnosis

There are five basic misconceptions about hypnosis:

Number 1

Most people expect to pass out and be unconscious when hypnotised. Actually there is never any loss of consciousness, even in the deepest stages of hypnosis. Hypnosis is like a dream, sometimes you remember everything, sometimes you remember only parts, and sometimes you can’t remember anything. A volunteer is more likely to experience amnesia if he/she has been in a deep state of hypnosis.

Number 2

Most people expect to be under the control of the hypnotist. In fact, there is no surrender of willpower. Any suggestion given is strictly censored, both consciously and unconsciously.

Number 3

Another misconception is that only the weak-minded can be hypnotised. The opposite is true, the stronger your concentration and the greater your imagination, the faster you become hypnotised.

Number 4

Some subjects may fear that they will talk and say something they may not want known while in hypnosis. Since one is aware at all times when hypnotised, there is no such tendency.

Number 5

Another fear expressed is that you may get stuck in hypnosis. Nobody has remained in a hypnotic state indefinitely. Your mind automatically wakes you or allows you to fall asleep. The hypnotist works very hard at keeping the subjects in the hypnotic state.

Who can be hypnotised?

Nearly everybody once it is understood that the hypnotist cannot hypnotise an unwilling subject.

The only people who do not respond to hypnosis are:

People who cannot retain information in their conscious minds long enough for it to be absorbed by the unconscious mind. These people lack concentration and attention.

People who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, in other words they are “inebriated” or “stoned”.

Very young children who do not have the mental intellect or capacity to understand what is expected of them. They have not sufficiently developed the word sense in their conscious minds to begin the process.

People who do not wish to be hypnotised.

What does it require to enter hypnosis?

Your ability to enter hypnosis depends upon a mixture of characteristics, some of which are inborn. These can be defined as co-operation, concentration and imagination.

Co-operation

To enter hypnosis you should be “motivated” and want to be hypnotised. If you look upon hypnosis as a challenge, or a battle of wills between you and the hypnotist, then the hypnotic state will not occur. Hypnosis cannot be forced upon people, rather it is a state that that you allow yourself to enter.

Concentration

To enter hypnosis you must be “involved” in the process. Hypnosis is not, as many people believe, a passive act. It requires your full involvement and positive participation. The more you apply yourself, direct your attention and concentrate on the process, the faster you will enter hypnosis.

Imagination

The vast majority of people have good imaginative powers and it is correct to say that the more you “utilise” your imagination, the more quickly you will enter hypnosis. In hypnosis the imagination rather than the intellect is at work.
