Past Participants Share Their Hypnosis Stories

Actual stage hypnosis stories and testimonials from participants and observers of JayDee Hypnotist’s past Hypno-Fun Hypnosis Shows:

Hi JayDee,
I just wanted to extend my thanks and express how pleased our school was to have you perform at our fundraising Gala. Your stellar show not only allowed us an opportunity to raise important funds to support the learning of our children, but you brought our school community together in a way that was light-hearted and fun! Everyone had a fabulous time and we received amazing feedback.
As an aside, I want to also thank you for adding your very poignant and important message regarding drinking and driving. Unfortunately, not a week following your show one of our guests (a former parent at the school) lost her teenage son in a tragic accident; he was hit head on by a 22 year old drunk driver on his way back from his school work experience program. It has become a stark & devastating reality for members of our community (who haven’t already been affected by similar tragedies). Please continue to use your gifts to spread this message. It is something close to my heart having lost an entire group of friends in a similar accident in high school in Fort McMurray. I just wanted you to know how meaningful it is that you already include this in your performance. With deepest gratitude,
Maureen T, Mitford Middle School, Cochrane, AB

JayDee, you were a colorful presence at our fair. You provided an entertaining and memorable experience for the participants of our county fair. You have the ability to put the volunteers for your show under hypnosis and generate laughter from the audience. You were prompt and prepared for the three daily shows. You even maintained your “cool” when the battery died in the microphone during one of your performances. Thank you for your participation in our 2012 County Fair.
Sincerely, Lisa Pedersen, Secretary, Butte Silver Bow County Fair, Butte, MT

The crowds started to gather up to one hour in advance, culminating in standing room only for all four performances by popular Alberta hypnotist JayDee Joel Scott, Entertainment Buyer, Moose Jaw Fair, Moose Jaw, SK

JayDee performed at our Leboldus After Grad event June 2012 to an audience of students and parents. JayDee was able to fully engage the audience with an entertaining and funny performance. This was especially well done considering we asked him to perform at 2:30 am. after students completed a full day of grad exercises, a dinner and banquet followed by the after grad party. JayDee was able to hypnotize over 25 students and was able to have them perform humourous actions many of them occuring at the same time including some by students that had been hypnotized in the audience. This turned out to be the hightlight of the evening for the students. Rave reviews by all after the show. Thanks JayDee! T. Coppola, Grad Organizer, Regina, SK

It went great and the kids had a awesome time. We’ve had lots of questions about next year and students who are ready to volunteer. Great Job. Nick Gale, Teacher, McCoy High School, Medicine Hat, Alberta

JayDee, did a spectacular hypnotist show at our county fair entertaining for the whole family. JayDee’s shows are packed with original performance and the audience was amazed. Your show was funny, fun, amazing, inspiring, honest and clean. Fans asked “You look like you are having so much fun”, we are and so will you! JayDee is a person I can recommend with complete confidence, we look forward to working with you next year. Thanks, JayDee!   Arnold Range, Entertainment Buyer,    Calhoun County Fair, Port Lavaca, TX  Oct/2011

It was great fun, best retirement party ever! You did a great job!  D.Ramsey, Nabors Drilling, Williston, ND, Sept 2011

JayDee Hypnotist has performed for two consecutive years at The Battlefords annual community pride event, BridgeFest. This celebration is held outdoors at Battleford Flats – a large sports park beside the North Saskatchewan River. JayDee has consistently drawn a big audience – his performance is entertaining, engaging and family oriented.  It is amazing to see him hypnotize volunteers from the crowd and have them perform as ballerinas, photographers or musicians playing imaginary instruments. His act truly engages everyone. His show generates much laughter while maintaining the dignity of those under hypnosis. In my opinion, it is to his credit that he can so successfully perform at an outdoor event of this magnitude. We estimate that this year approximately 10,000 people attended BridgeFest throughout the day and hundreds watched JayDee’s show! JayDee is a versatile, imaginative and very talented hypnotist. I would highly recommended him to event planners seeking high quality, professional and family focused entertainment. If you have any questions regarding JayDee, please contact me anytime.       Jane Zielke, Executive Director Battlefords United Way   Sept 2011

Dear Jay Dee;
Thank you for coming! It was a huge success! And people really enjoyed themselves!!!! A stage would have helped alot:( oh well it was great wonderful comments from all!  Take care, Sincerely, Peggy Williamson PER Aberdeen Elks 593   May 2011

I showed the video today at lunch time and the kids loved watching the show again (for the ones that were there) or seeing it for the first time. Thank you.
Diana Worman Principal Neilburg Composite School North West School Division  One student at a Time – Laying the Foundation for Success May 2011

OMG you were so awesome last night at the diamond dinner in Beaverlodge! My daughter-in-law was the one hypnotized that did the ice sculpture of “Stevie” pet calf (though she said “cow”) and was the excellent ballerina! Totally enjoyed the show. I’ve seen other hypnotists but you top them all with the class act show you put on! J Hotte, attendee, Beaverlodge Curling Club Fundraiser, Beaverlodge, AB Oct 2010

“JayDee is great at what he does. We hired him for a client conference where there was a mix of employees and clients. He kept the humour clean; at the same time, everyone was entertained. There were lots of laughs and never a dull moment!”   -Jackie Goode, Marketing Coordinator, Vadim Software,  2010 Conference Kelowna, BC

“JayDee Hypnotist was a delightful performance at Bridgefest 2010. He captivated the audience with his humorous, family hypnotist act. The crowd was roaring with laughter and we had many compliments on having him perform. We will definitely consider this performance again in the future. Very easy to work with.
Mandy Mott (Bridgefest 2010 Entertainment Coordinator, North Battleford, SK)”

Everyone really enjoyed your performance at the Dry Grad. They thought you were fantastic! In fact “your show” was the talk of the day at School. I’ll definitely recommend you to next year’s Dry Grad Committee and I’ll forward your business card to their Chair. Thanks again for doing an excellent job at our function. A great time was had by all!
Grace F, Duchess Park High School Grad Parent Committee, Prince George, BC June 2010

Hi JayDee,
Thank you for a truly fabulous night and the fantastic hypnosis show you performed for the Clayton Heights Dry Grad on May 31st. It was truly an action packed and fun night that was full of laughter for every grad that attended. The grads, as well as parents, found the show to be extremely funny, enjoyable and most entertaining. You managed to keep the grads engaged throughout the early morning hours, even after a long day attending their grad dinner/dance. We would be more than happy to recommend you and your show to anybody wanting a memorable, entertainment experience. The overall consensus from the grads . . . “it was an awesome show”! Again, many thanks.
Tara W, Dry Grad 2010 Committee, Clayton Heights Secondary, Surrey, B.C.

On Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 JayDee performed at Porcupine Plain Composite High School. This show was a fundraiser for our 2010 graduating class. The show was attended by close to three hundred people and the comments from audience members were extremely positive. JayDee presents an appropriate all ages show which is highly entertaining and well paced. His use of lighting and music add to the overall presentation and he quickly establishes a great rapport with his audience and volunteers he brings onstage. His presentation is perfect for community functions. His professionalism and experience are clearly evident and he is committed to pleasing his audience and giving them great entertainment value for their money. I highly recommend that any interested groups consider him for community or school functions. He will not disappoint.
Michael Baxter, Teacher, Porcupine Plain Composite High School, Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan

This was our first attempt at a fundraiser this size and JayDee made the evening a huge success! He was professional, flexible and had a clean and hysterically funny show, everyone talked about how much fun they had for weeks. We will definitely be asking JayDee back for next year!

E. Dover, Rainbow Playschool Fundraiser, Spruce Grove, Alberta January 2010

We hired JayDee to entertain audiences of 10-17 year olds on back to back nights. He was professional and respectful, and absolutely everything you will read about in the other testimonials rang true. During each 1 3/4 hour hypnosis show, JayDee included as many volunteers as were willing. The events were filled with hilarious good clean fun! An outstanding component of our special events, I would not hesitate to recommend JayDee Hypnotist to your ‘A’ list!
Carol Lomas, Participant Special Events Chair, Terrace 2010 BC Winter Games

JayDee provided an entertaining and memorable experience at our company Christmas Party. Our guests enjoyed a clean show that was full of laughs, and respected those who were participating. JayDee is a professional and friendly entertainer who provided a fantastic evening for everyone! Thanks again, and have a safe, happy holiday season. Kind regards,

Thank-you for coming! It was a fantastic show – it is all the students (ok, and staff) can talk about today!
-Erin K, Teacher, Buck Mountain Central School, Buck Lake, AB

JayDee was amazing! All of the high school kids and adults loved him! Everyone had a great time and overall it could not have been a better show! I would love to see him in the future again!                                           -  Skyler E, Presho, SD, 4/18/2009

JayDee hypnotist has been performing for the Hatzic Dry Grad for the last three years. His show is always a hit with our grads. His drinking and driving message he used in his “being pulled over by a checkstop” skit, really hit home with the grads. The parents loved that everyone felt safe and what he gets the kids to do is side-splitting funny. He has an awesome show and I would highly recommend him for any function. Jay Dee is very personable and easy to work with for booking and set-up. We will see him again in 2010. Thanks Jay you ROCK!!!!   - S. Carter, Hatzic Dry Grad Organizer, Mission, BC May 2009

For the Christmas Party entertainment in the Town of Whitecourt we hired JayDee Hypnotist. We found him to be professional, reliable and absolutely hilarious. We had approximately 100 people there and he made everyone laugh with good, clean stories and humor. The hypnosis show was incredibly enjoyable and we liked the fact that he was also a great DJ. This saved us money and time, and kept people at the venue longer, because they were having a great night. JayDee was an outstanding entertainer and we would gladly hire him again.
- Jolene G, Town of Whitecourt, Social Club Dec 2007

My staff all felt that they were thoroughly entertained and all said they had never laughed so hard. Great show and Jay Dee was very professional. we all agreed that we would have him back again and again.

- Lynn F, Madero Employee Party, Regina, Saskatchewan

I just wanted to “thank you” again for the wonderful show you put on for us here in Grande Cache.  The ladies are still talking about how much fun they had!

- R Cook, Organizer, Grande Cache Ladies Night, Grand Cache, Alberta

JayDee was absolutely fabulous! He had 200 people laughing uncontrollably for 2 hours. We loved him!
- Francie S, Leprino Foods, Fort Morgan, Colorado

Our staff had an absolutely great time at our break up party it was non stop entertainment for two and a half hours. There was not a dry eye in the building the laughter was non stop. After JayDee’s hypnotist show was over he was also willing to deejay for us he has a great play list and saved us having to pay additional money for a deejay. We would definitely consider having JayDee entertain us for future social events.

- T Carr, Grande Prairie, Alberta May 2008

I would like to thank you for coming out we had a fantastic time.
- M. Neville, Daytona Homes, Edmonton Sept 2009

Queen Charlotte Secondary School would like to highly recommend JayDee Hypnotist
for audiences of all ages. JayDee provided us with an evening of fun, laughter, and entertainment. JayDee’s show was suitable for everyone as his performance was appropriate for a school environment, yet still hilarious. The student body gave JayDee two thumbs up and are still talking about the show several days later. JayDee was very professional, and was able to provide us with a show even in an isolated remote community.
- Queen Charlotte Secondary Grads of 2007 British Columbia

We are pleased to recommend the diversified talents of stage hypnotist, JayDee, to any company or group who are seeking a highly talented, energetic performer. At the City of Edmonton, we were challenged to find a new source of entertainment for our annual Corporate Services Finance 2007 Employees Appreciation Night gala event, providing over 170 employees with a night to remember. We were fortunate to find JayDee, who over and above being a stage hypnotist is an innovative stand-up comedian who quickly warms up the crowd in preparation for his innovative show. His ability to deliver ad-lib comedy was remarkable and ingenious. JayDee’s ability to hypnotize the “willing” enthralled the crowd and created an enjoyable and memorable evening for audience members who agreed to participate, and for those who simply wanted to sit back and watch JayDee’s amazing talents in action. The evening was mesmerizing and a huge success thanks to the talented and gifted, JayDee.
- Linda Letendre, Administrative Assistant, Office of the Finance Manager, City of Edmonton

Three days later and everyone is still talking about JayDee and what a wonderful show it was. Not sure how we top this next year. Our crowd ranged from 14 to 65 years of age. The show was very clean and so funny that all ages had tears of laughter running down their cheeks. Thumbs up and highly recommend. You would not be disappointed. Thanks Jay Dee for the fabulous show!!!    - Northern Bottling, Grande Prairie, Alberta

The show was appropriate for our work party and did not let the participants go too far or do things they would not have consented to if they were not hypnotized. JayDee arrived on time and was professional in person, the hypnosis show was awesome.
- Future Shop Christmas Party, Red Deer, Alberta

Highly Recommended! Our school had JayDee Hypnotist at a Student Union Fundraiser on March 20/08. We would like to thank JayDee for an awesome evening – the students, parents, grandparents and community members loved the performance. We would definitely do this again as a school fundraiser.

- K. van Steenis, Students’ Union Coordinator, Thorsby High School, Alberta

We have an event for our staff once every 2 years and JayDee was recommended to us by a staff member who had seen him before. He did a great job of making people laugh, respected the participants on stage and spent time after the show mingling with the crowd. His show was high energy and the music was great. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who was looking for clean entertainment and a lot of laughs!
- C Tarrant, Cooperators Insurance, Red Deer, Alberta

Special thanks to JayDee for turning an average event into a special event that people will remember for years!! JayDee provided 2 hours of non-stop laughter for 200 people of all ages with a clean, classy act. - C. Sturrock, Tournament Organizer, Lloydminster Border Cats, Lloydminster, Alberta

JayDee was very easy to work with for our post-prom entertainment. He put together a great performance and the show was hilarious! He had 20 plus kids out within 10 minutes and had us all laughing for 2 hours.   - L Miller, Pierre, South Dakota

Thank you, JayDee, for a great evening. It was hard to come up with entertainment for a bunch of high school boys but you came through with flying colors! The boys talked about how much fun they had at the show all through the tournament. A couple of teams even said they had planned to leave early but were having so much fun that they stayed for the whole performance! It was also refreshing to watch a hypnotist provide a clean show that any person could enjoy, regardless of age.   - Kenneth Pshyk, Teacher at Glendon School, Glendon, Alberta

On behalf of Sturgeon Valley Golf & Country Club I would like to thank Jay Dee for an entertaining and professional show that he performed for our New Year’s Eve party. Our guests enjoyed themselves for the after dinner show that maintained class and integrity but still showcased fun in a hypnotic state. I would have no problems recommending Jay Dee for prospective events.    - Dale St. Hilaire, Food & Beverage Mgr. St Albert, Alberta

Your hypnosis show was an absolutely hit! I think you were amazing. I really believe you had a difficult crowd to work with and with 24 kids running around I am amazed you made it through so perfectly. I truly believe you were a hit!! and my guests loved your show!
Thank you for making it a perfect day!
- Ornella N, Hubby’s 40 th Birthday Party Dec 23/06, Royal Glenora Club, Edmonton, Alberta

JayDee put on a great hypnosis show as a fundraiser for the Children of Ecuador Education Foundation on November 4th, 2006.

He worked well with the crowd, and everyone left having had a great time. Regards,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional, clean and fun filled hypnosis show that you provided for us. It was a pleasure to see the smiles and hear the laughter of the audience as you directed the participants in a fun and entertaining way. I heard comments from both the audience as well as the participants they truly appreciated the fact that you maintained a show that didn’t embarrass anyone. Many people who were afraid of being hypnotized said that they would consider being a participant in one of your shows.We look forward to hosting another show by you and hope that you will consider entertaining for us once again. Thanks.

JayDee provided a fantastic hypnosis show! The topics and content were very relevant for our kids, who enjoyed the show immensely. We will book Jay Dee again for next year, but also highly recommend him to other high school dry grad events. It is obvious he enjoys working with teenagers, but the consensus from the parents was he would be entertaining for all age groups. A very professional entertainer! Thank you for making our event one of the best dry grad’s ever. A real pleasure working with both Gigmasters and JayDee.

I hired JayDee for our survey company Christmas Party. The age group was from 21 to 60 and everyone absolutely loved it. JayDee had everyone roaring with laughter, and was very professional. He kept to his word that it would be a clean and classy show. I had my doubts about being hypnotized but tried it anyways, and I would definitely do it again. I felt extremely comfortable in my position, and had tons of fun. I would definitely hire JayDee back for next year. Thanks to JayDee for the awesome show and great time had by all.
