Well, I do keep getting all the unusual gigs!
I have just come back from London doing a job for the PR agency that handles Sega games.
By brief was to hypnotize a reporter from the Fortean Times and give him a realistic medieval experience of a military commander preparing for and going into battle in 1066, before he played their new release Medieval 11.
This all took place in a little back room of a hotel off Soho Square and it all seemed to go really well, the PR agency were delighted with the results and the reporter thought it was an unusual but very fascinating experience.
We can only wait for the article to come out in print now, which should be in the 16th November issue. http://www.forteantimes.com/

Stage Hypnotist training update
I have just heard from my latest trainee back in Germany, He is way ahead of schedule, he has just done his first show and it all went really well! I am so proud for him and he is delighted, "Money well spent" in his words!
Well done Ashley!
Well done Ashley!
Unusual Stage Hypnosis Show!
Well 17 years as a full time professional stage hypnotist has taught me to expect the unexpected!
Recently I got a short notice job from an agent for a college show in Suffolk, I presumed it must be a last minute freshers job, how wrong I was to be!
On arrival at said college, it turns out to be a very up market boarding school and I am actually booked to perform at the house dinner, my audience will be about 14 adults (teachers and partners etc.) plus about 80 boys aged 13 to 17.
So, after a quick emergency re-think of my patter and material I eventually get on after the meal and teachers speeches. I do my intro patter and ask for volunteers as usual and then I get mobbed! Left in my audience are the 14 adults and about the same boys, all the rest are now on stage wanting to be hypnotised!
Needles to say, I have to whittle this down loads then we have a fantastic night that everyone is really pleased with.
But the unexpected does not stop there, when I go to collect my fee I get paid £40 in pound coins and the rest in £5 notes. It turns out the boys have paid for it themselves and collected the money in like that!

Stage Hypnotist Training
Been a really busy week, last week, I had a guy over from Germany to learn Stage hypnosis as well as fitting in my own shows.
It all went really well, he seemed to pick up the concept very well and he had some good, original ideas!
He already has his first show booked for the 5th December, so good luck Ashley!
