Some Hypnosis shows are harder than others








Last week was a funny old week!
Four shows, all completely different!
Tuesday took me to a local students halls of residence, somewhere I have played many times before and, as usual, I was not disappointed, another great show!
Wednesday took me to Chesterfield, unfortunately there were only twenty one people there (including staff) and the other act's girlfriend. Yet, amazingly, I had a good show (see photo), I managed to hypnotise two customers, one member of staff and the singer's girlfriend!
Thursday took me to a pub in Sunderland where I played to a two hundred and fifty sell out crowd, Great night, they are having me back!
Then Saturday, a fiftieth birthday party and renewal of wedding vows, another great show and the chance to hypnotise Anthony Hutton (see photo), the winner of 'big brother 6'.

Even Hypnotists get lucky on holiday!


Hi
We have just got back from a short family break away to Disneyland Paris, we wanted to see how they did Christmas celebrations there and we were not disappointed. It was fantastic! (although my favorite bit was a bit simple, I loved the fact that it snowed in Main st every half hour!).
Our lucky break! We stayed at the Disney Hotel, right at the entrance to the park, and on arrival we got a free upgrade to an £800 per night suite! Fantastic! This photo was the view from our room!

The Stage Hypnotists' Stage Hypnotist!!!

Well, it's nice to know that after all these years my show is still worthy of being watched by others in the business!
I was doing a little bread and butter gig at a small pub, near Doncaster, on a cold Wednesday night this week. When, to my total surprise, just a few minutes before I am due to start, in walks Chris Lee and Mark Story.
They did not see the best show I have ever done, but at least they saw me work and pull it off in a hard environment!
It was also nice to have a few words after the show and put faces to names etc., more of us should do this kind of thing, this industry has become too bitchy and back stabbing, don't you think?

Still undiscovered after 17 years!

Sometimes I wonder what it takes to get people to know about you in this business!
Last weekend I did my first job for an agent that I had not worked for before, the show went really well, everyone had a great time and there was talk of booking me back and booking me into other venues in the group, great news!
Yesterday, I got a note from said agent (Along with his commission invoice!) saying that he had heard it went really well and that he will use me again!
Don't get me wrong, Yes, this is what I want to hear! But if it has taken him 17 years to find out that I am a "good act!" how do I get this message across to all the other agents that haven't tried me yet?
