I'm really famous now!

Well at last I have made it!

Last wek I did a FREE show at my childrens school, it went really well and this week I am on the school website!

I went down like the belgrano!

Well, I have just done an unusual gig!
It was a naval reunion at a hotel in Stockton, It was agreed that I would do my set up before everyone started to eat, I was running just a little late due to a very difficult get in, but the guests (about 150 of them) were still arriving and getting seated.
I put a piece of music on to test the P.A. was working and a horrible man at the nearest table shouted at me "Turn that off we are eating!" well, job done, the P.A. was working fine so I duly turned the music off!
All I needed now was a quick mic check to make sure that I was not going to feed back, It was a simple set up as the room was long and straight, so I pretty much knew what my settings would need to be, just a quick "one, two, one, two" on the mic was sufficient, but this time the horrible little man screamed at me "I told you to be quiet, we are eating!" (they weren't, people were still arriving and service had not started!), any way job done, no more hassle until show time.
Show time arrives (after coffee) so I play my intro and guess what? Yes, it's the horrible little man again! this time he shouts at me again, "turn that off, I told you we are eating!"
Anyway I just ignore him and get on with the job I am being paid to do, but immediately two women on his table put their hands over their ears, then shortly afterwards horrible man and about eight of the people at his table get up and walk out, this then starts a mass exodus and over half of my audience leave before I have even started the show!
However the ones that did stay said it was one of the funniest things they have ever seen!

Ask the audience to phone a friend!

Well, 18 years in the business and I still haven't seen it all!
A new one for me at the weekend, got to my venue and set up, met the manager who told me they were expecting about 110 people, great I thought!
At 8:30 there are only 18 people in the room, the manager is still insistent that he wants the show to go ahead, so he goes on the microphone and asks the 18 people if they can get on their mobiles and try and get some more people down to the venue! (alas it did not work).
However, much to my surprise, when I asked for volunteers I got 7 people and hypnotised them all, and we had a great show!!! (although not much atmosphere from the ones left in the audience due to lack of numbers in a big room).

Tough Gig

If it could be made harder, it was!
It was one of those nights alright!
I was booked to do a military Valentines ball recently and It turned out to be a catalogue of problems.
It started with the venue being quite difficult to find, then there was no room to set my own P.A. up so I had to share the discos system, this was through a sound limiter system on the stage and if you got much louder than talking it all cut out and everything had to be re set.
My allocated time slot was after the meal and the raffle, at the end of the raffle instead of announcing me they forgot and said now it is disco time, so most people left for a cigarette break so I had to try and start my show with only about 30 or so people in the room and no volume to try and get them back!
Against all odds I managed to get some volunteers, but, again, with no volume and people now coming back in and increasing room volume, hypnotising them was difficult. This was further hampered by their friends shouting in their faces, throwing things at them, taking flash photos from almost up their noses and finally kicking and poking them. However, despite this I did manage to hypnotise three of them and get a nice little show going, even though by now someone had decided it would all look better with the main hall lights turned off!
At the end people were saying how much they had enjoyed my show ( I am pleased that they did, because I did not like doing that one).

My Family holiday

After a busy Christmas we decided to take the family away on a skiing holiday to Finland.
This turned out to be possibly the best holiday I have ever had.
I would thoroughly recommend Ruka for anyone looking for a child friendly family resort.
I have put a link to some of our photos if anyone is interested. http://s602.photobucket.com/albums/tt102/ADAMNIGHT1/

New Website!!!

Hi
Well, as you can see I have got out of the habit of blogging again!!!
Shame on me because so much happened over Christmas!
This seems like a good time to restart though because I have just relaunched one of my websites.
So please check out www.bookahypnotist.co.uk and let me know what you think?

Meet and greet hypnotist!

I have just performed at a wedding reception!
Nothing unusual in that, in fact they usually go really well and I like doing them.
The problem - I originally thought I was going to have about 70 guests, on arrival I find out that there are only about 35 guests and about 4 of them are children, plus the bride and groom have decided to keep my performance a surprise.
The venue is not ideal either, on entering the building you come into a foyer, off to the right is the room they are holding the wedding breakfast in, next to it is a doorway to the bar and toilets, on the other side is a small room and another doorway to the kitchens etc.
The hotel manager originally suggested I set up in the small room until I pointed out there would be no where for the guests to view the show from, then we decided to move the show to the foyer, I set up my PA etc and sound checked then to find a mobile disco arriving and wanting to use the same area as me!
On discussion with the DJ we decide to loose my equipment and I plug in through his system.
This then led to a very unusual result, In my 'optimism!' I have decided to set up with 4 chairs, despite there only being about 30 adults, it being a surprise cabaret, there being no seating for my audience and the limiting conditions I manage to get 12 volunteers and work 9 of them. It was a really good show and everyone, young and old, thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Feeling old!

I recently performed at a holiday camp in Great Yarmouth and although the show absolutely rocked, I left feeling a bit long in the tooth!
The camp entertainer that was to operate my sound during my show informed me that he had seen my show before!
He told me that he used to watch me perform every year when he and his family used to go to Pontins when he was about 10 or twelve and that I had already hypnotised his dad once!
Afterwards he was very complementary and said the show was awesome, even better than he remembered it!

"First Choice" International hypnotist!

Yes, I am now officially THE First Choice Hypnotist!

Well, I have just come back from doing a 4 day 'fly back' for 'first choice holidays' to Cyprus.

They contacted me at short notice and I was available for the days that they wanted and it all came together. I had a great time working out there and, according to the feedback from the booking agent, I went down really well!

Now waiting to see if there is any more, there is a rumour that they want me to go to Egypt next!
