Too much entertainment!

I recently performed at a little pub in Sittingbourne, Kent. On arrival I found that the pub was tiny and as well as myself they had booked a close up magician, a stand up comedian, a psychic and two doormen!
They were doing the 'night of fun and mystery' as a ticket do at £12 per head, but only about 25 - 30 people turned up.
Lucky for them amongst those that did not turn up were the doormen and the Psychic! (I guess through unforeseen circumstances! "I've always wanted to use that line!") so their bill was not as bad as it could have been!

Group stop smoking therapy

I recently had an unusual request, I mostly do comedy stage hypnosis shows although I am qualified in therapy including N.L.P. (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Thought Field Therapy. The therapy side of things I prefer to do on a one to one basis although I have done small groups before.
My Unusual request came from a pub in Elsmere Port, they wanted to do a group session for some of their regulars ( with the smoking ban coming in soon!), On the day 28 people attended and one week later 14 had stopped altogether, 6 were only smoking one or two cigarettes a day and not enjoying them, 5 it did not work for and the other 3 the landlady had not been able to get in contact with to find their results.
She has already booked another session for her other customers that did not or could not attend!

stage hypnotist or Voodoo man?

I recently performed at a rugby club presentation night in Taunton in Somerset. After the show I was approached by one young man who introduced himself and told me that he was over here as a player and he originated from Fiji. He told me that he had never seen anything like my show, "It was awesome!" he told me that in his country anything like that was considered 'Voodoo' and only practised by 'Witch Doctors!'

Back on the road again too!

Hi
you may remember, from earlier postings that I had my car stollen, well, I have finally agreed a settlement with my insurance company and got a replacement sorted out.
I have gone for another Chrysler PT cruiser. I like them very much, they are big, loud and American (I have nicknamed mine Sezles!).

Sorry I've been off line for a while!

Hi everyone!
It's good to be back, no thanks to Orange!
I did a little exercise recently (to save myself some money!), I decided to change a few of my suppliers, one was my broadband. Orange promised me a fantastic deal if I switched to them, so I agreed, cancelled my cable broadband, had BT reinstalled, THEN they told me they had made a mistake and they could not actually supply me.
So, I have been on dial up until my new supplier was fully installed! (Isn't dial up awful? is that how we all used to do it?)
