Welcome to the JayDee Hypnotist Blog

Last Monday I had the pleasure of headlining at the Le Bistro Theatre in the Riviera Hotel. I was standing in for Dr. Scott Lewis who was away. I was very nervous, I have been in the entertainment industry for 10 years now, but getting on a Vegas stage was intimidating. For the first 30 seconds onstage I drew a big blank for memory power but slowly and surely I got into my groove and had a great time with a great audience! Thanks to all who were at that show, you all made my debut in Las Vegas something special. To Frank in Chicago, you my friend are one funny guy on stage!!

During the past few years of doing my hypnotism shows, I’ve talked with a lot of people who had questions and concerns about hypnotism. I’m always happy to discuss hypnosis with others, and I actually think it’s an important part of my job.

Why?

Because there are so many widely spread myths about hypnotism that the average person doesn’t know the differences between hypnotism myths and facts. As a stage hypnotist, I feel compelled to explode these myths so my audiences can have the facts and feel more comfortable with hypnotism.

In the world of entertainment, people use celebrities to endorse themselves. Some of these are true endorsements, some are not. You can write to most celebrities, ask for an autographed photo and they will send it (sometimes with a personalized message) at your request. For the average person, this is no big deal, but what happens when someone uses this to make money by bringing up their status with bogus endorsements? It does happen, another hypnotist I knew told me how it was done, I presume he did it due to the large numbers of celebrity endorsements he uses. So without further adieu… here are some JayDee Hypnotist celebrity endorsements, pictures NOT included.

Lately I have been hearing and reading alot of people in the stage hypnosis business talking about progressive relaxation. Some love, some hate it. Here is what should be the final word. In a show if you manage to put your volunteers into a deep trance in a reasonable amount of time without boring the audience does it matter how you do it? If I eat a banana over 5 minutes and all my volunteers go into trance is it wrong? Absolutely not! Do what works for you and your stage persona, if your audience likes it who cares what you do, a hypnotist is not out there to impress other hypnotists not watching the show. They are there to impress the audience! If the audience is impressed then who cares what any other hypnotist thinks. Do I use progressive relaxation, you bet I do, though it only takes up about 3-4 minutes of my induction. If you are boring your audience with your induction, change it, if you are keeping them entertained while you do it.. stick with it! Of course with any induction and stage show, make sure to keep your volunteers safe at all times, you will come across as the professional you are supposed to be!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of performing two shows for the athletes of the BC 2010 Winter games. I performed a in 700 seat theatre, with sound/lightning tech. I was also “given” two volunteers who shot still photo’s(posted on gallery page) and film via a camcorder and removed chairs from the stage. Both shows went well and I performed two very different shows. The total crowd for both nights was about 500+. My thanks to the organizers who hired me, everyone who was in the theatre helping to make my show as easy to perform as possible. Thanks as well to all the athletes who were very enthusiastic during the show. I had a great time For a review of the two shows click “here”
