Stage Hypnosis Training

Experiential Coaching

Experiential (adj.) – Involving or based on real-life experience and observation, like learning on the job.

Boot Camp isn’t a “sit back and soak it in” course. Here, you learn by doing. It’s hands-on, active, and a bit of trial by fire! You’ll work hard, face challenges, and grow through real experiences. If you’re ready to dive in, this is where the true learning happens.

What to Expect in Stage Hypnosis Training

When I teach, I use a hands-on approach that helps you learn each step. Here’s how it works:

1. I’ll explain each step and start by letting you know what we will do.
2. I’ll demonstrate – You’ll see exactly how it’s done.
3. We’ll review – I’ll review what we did so it’s clear.
4. You’ll practice – Then, it’s your turn to try it yourself.

The method I use to teach stage hypnosis effectively.

Before You Arrive: Your Homework

To make the most of our time at Bootcamp, you’ll need to prepare:

• Transcribe an opening – Write out the opening you’ll use in your show.
• Learn an induction – Practice a hypnosis induction; you should be comfortable with one before arriving.

This preparation will help you dive into the training and maximize every moment.

In 2013, Brian Varano, “The Hawaiian Hurricane” was my first student. He has since performed in Las Vegas and multiple county fairs across the USA.

We go to dinner each night and discuss the shows with the group.
When you leave this training, you can say, “I did entire shows.” When a GIG offer comes in, you can say ‘YES.’

 

You get

• Fresh audiences Show After Show.
• Volunteers who have no prior experience with hypnosis
• Real-life stage hypnosis performance training
• We do ‘clean shows’ because we are at fairgrounds.

 

We discuss

• costumes
• lights
• safety
• using an assistant 
• respecting your audience and volunteers
• hecklers
• working with the problem of no one volunteering
• no one is going under

 … you will hear horror stories

 

 

You do shows!

You will have the choice of:

• Doing an entire show on your own
• Doing routines and portions of other people’s shows.
• Doing shows with other students.

“…the real important part for me was that on stage time, experience in front of live audiences, and to be able to work on routines.  …  Really a lot of value, you covered a lot of topics, also the time you covered on the sound equipment was great, I know I got a lot out of that! I appreciate your patience with our group, and it was a relaxed and fun time.”
