Stage Hypnosis Boot Camp

Outlining what we will do

If you were going to teach me something, I would want you to:

If you were going to teach me something, I would want you to:
  • Let me know what you are going to do.
    • Please show me how you do it.
      • Go over what you did.
        • Let me do it.
This is the method I use to teach stage hypnosis.

Before you join the group, you will have some homework.

  • Transcribe an opening
  • Learn an induction

We have limited time. You should know an induction before you come to Bootcamp.

In 2013, Brian Varano “The Hawaiian Hurricane” was my first student. He has since performed in Las Vegas and multiple county fairs across the USA.
We go to dinner each night and discuss the shows with the group. When you leave this training, you can say, “I did entire shows.” When a GIG offer comes in, you can say ‘YES.’

You do shows!

You will have the choice of:
  • Doing an entire show on your own
  • Doing routines and portions of other people’s shows.
  • Doing shows with other students.
“…the real important part for me was that on stage time, experience in front of live audiences, and to be able to work on routines.  …  Really a lot of value, you covered a lot of topics, also the time you covered on the sound equipment was great, I know I got a lot out of that! I appreciate your patience with our group, and it was a relaxed and fun time.”

Getting you on stage, over & over, as many times as possible – this is our goal.

This training has inspired others to adopt similar formats. We are here to guide you if you’re looking for the most seasoned experience. Since 2013, we have had the privilege of coaching many students who now successfully earn thousands of dollars performing. Investing in this Boot Camp is a decision that pays off.
