This article will make the process of securing a safe, suitable stage hypnotist for your event easier. Regardless of whether you plan the party yourself or secure an event planning company to plan the party, you should ask the following five important questions.
The reputable Stage Hypnotist and Event Planning Companies will appreciate your questions, and you will be more relaxed knowing you're securing the services of a professional. You will also be insuring your hypnotic show will be a success and your audience will have a fun night they will remember for years.
The Five Questions You Should Ask:
1) Is the Hypnotic Show performed with safety in mind?
A hypnotist is not a safe hypnotist if he doesn't consider safety an important aspect when considering routines. Ask the hypnotist what measures he/she takes in considering safety when planning the routine as well as the whole routine itself.
2) Can you verify the hypnotist is insured?
The professional hypnotist will be insured with a liability policy. Request a copy to confirm the policy is not expired. Amateurs will not typically make the investment to protect themselves, you, or your guests.
We have never had any accidents that have required medical attention, but if we ever do, you can rest assured that we have the insurance coverage for you and your audience’s protection. To perform without "stage insurance" is dangerous, irresponsible and is the equivalent to sitting on a ticking time bomb.
3) Is Your Hypnotist registered as a Hypnotherapist / Stage Hypnotist?
Some states require that the Hypnotist must also be a Hypnotherapist in order to perform any hypnosis. Has the person whom you want to hire taken the time and care to study and obtain these credentials?
4) Has your hypnotist been professionally trained?
A stage hypnotist should have received professional training and be a member of stage hypnosis organizations such as National Guild of Hypnotists. A professional is committed to continued education and can be trusted to present a safe, flawless show without any problems.
5) Does the hypnotist have a track record?
Read the letters of recommendation and know what you are purchasing. Obviously, if they have little or no track record, you can be assured that you are receiving a show that is not tested and whose quality and entertainment value will be low or worse, a miserable failure.
A bad hypnotic show will leave your guests bored, unsatisfied and eventually walking out of the show. That can bring your whole celebration down! That's not the event memories are made of...
Answers to these questions will determine the level of professionalism of the performer.
Answering these five questions will help you plan an event that is safe and fun. You will be more relaxed the night of the program and the months leading up to the program knowing you're hiring a professional stage hypnotist who your grads will enjoy!
If you find the Stage Hypnotist is deficient in any of these areas, it is a sure sign they may not be a full-time professional and there may be cause for concern.
Working with an Event Planning Company?
If you are working with an event planning company and they are providing a hypnotist who does not live up to the above five questions, ask yourself:
Are they trying to provide the least expensive (amateur, no credentials, no insurance policy, etc.) because of some benefit to the event planning company? Do they make more money hiring a "cheap" hypnotist for your event?
- Are you receiving a stage hypnotist that will not live up to your entertainment expectations?
- Are you satisfied with a stage hypnotist who is not going to be as reliable or experienced as you would like?
If not, request another hypnotist. There are many stage hypnotists that are professionals and you don't want to settle for anything less at your grad party.
If you're booking the hypnotist direct and he fails to answer the five requirements, ask yourself, is this hypnotist a "semi-pro" hypnotist? In other words, an amateur hypnotist, who comes out only to make extra money? Do you want to settle for a part time performer with little experience and no professional status, insurance, state registration, etc. who will provide a disappointing show for your audience?
What Makes The Matt Davis Comedy Hypnosis Show Different From Other Hypnotist Shows?
- The style of the show.
I offer a fast-paced, contemporary show! I use a lot of music and keep the energy level high! - You receive a show, not an entertainer.
Did you ever see one of those hypnotic shows where the hypnotist is:
• striking props?
• telling your production assistant that his music is wrong?
• dividing his attention between juggling all of the technical aspects of the show and trying to keep the audience entertained at the same time? It can stink!
You won't find that with The Matt Davis Comedy Hypnosis Show!
Your Show Will Feature...
• A Certified Stage Hypnotist.
• Professional sound!
I focus on one thing...entertaining your audience! - Your audience's safety first...
While hypnosis is 100% safe when practiced by a certified professional, normal on-stage accidents are possible; for instance, hurting an ankle, etc. The Matt Davis Comedy Hypnosis Show has never had an accident that required medical attention. And while I certainly don't ever expect to, you can rest assured that I am taking every precaution for everyone's well being.
Here is how:
• I am trained to keep an eye on participants to avoid an accident before it happens.
• Safety issues themselves are woven into the act, using hypnosis.
• In addition, I am covered by an entertainer's liability insurance policy. - Technically, you can be confident knowing The Hypnotist is:
• A certified Hypnotherapist AND Stage Hypnotist!
