A Note from Denis...


Now this is entertainment!

In a never ended search for unique entertainment, reality shows are the new fad. Millions tune in every week to watch shows ranging from the Simple Life to Fear Factor. People have grown tired of the normal day to day shows, they now want to be entertained in a totally new way. They are captivated by the unscripted and unplanned events that make these shows one of a kind. I would like to introduce you to a form of entertainment that you may not be familiar with. It is unrehearsed, real and one of the most fascinating things that you will ever see. This form of entertainment is known as Stage Hypnosis.

In earlier times, Stage Hypnosis was a venue for only carnivals and side shows. It was often thought of as a gimmick or a promotional stunt. Through the years, with the help of television, this special form of entertainment has grown dramatically. If you have been lucky enough to see a show by some of the great hypnotists such as Geoff Ronning, Jerry Valley, or Ricky Kalmon, you have witnessed some of the best entertainment available.

I have had the privilege of having Tom Cruise, Marilyn Monroe, Brittany Spears, Madonna, The Village People and even Elvis sing to me. I marveled as Michael Jackson danced and Jenny McCarthy told me about her life. No, these were not the real people, but volunteers who, through the power of their own imagination, became their favorite entertainer.

How Denis' Stage Hypnosis Show Works
In a Stage Hypnosis Show, volunteers are requested from the audience. They go through a certain test which shows the Hypnotist which candidates would be best to work in the show. They are never humiliated or given inappropriate suggestions. Many people believe that a Hypnotist can force you to do anything he or she wants. ThisĀ  is absolutely incorrect. If a subject would find a suggestion that they did not agree with, they simply would not do it. No person that volunteers in a show would do anything that is against their character or moral beliefs. The Hypnotist knows that he is not the star of the show, the volunteers are and they are treated with respect. Without them, he has no show. Each show is like a snowflake in that no two are alike. This is simply because no two volunteers will react to the hypnotic suggestions in the same way. There are new and different stars of each show. I have often referred to a Stage Hypnosis Show as something that creates memories that last a lifetime. It is a drama, comedy, reality and fantasy all rolled up in one performance. The best part is that it is all live and it happens in from of your eyes. No scripts, props or commercials - just pure entertainment brought to you by the wonderful power of the mind.

What to Expect in Stage Hypnosis
Shows range in size from the small local clubs to the celebrated shows of Las Vegas. Oprah, Montel, Maury and even 60 Minutes have featured various Stage Hypnotists on their respective shows. This wonderful entertainment is known for it's wide appeal and it's ability to raise ratings and increase audience participation. Schools and service clubs have found having a Stage Hypnosis Show is an excellent way to have a unique fund raisers. It has become major entertainment for post prom and graduation night celebrations. It is one of the most versatile forms of entertainment. It does not requre special conditions, equipment, manpower or large venues. In fact, some chairs and a sound system are ll that is needed for a great show. It is appropriate for the largest auditoriums to private parties. You can not find any other form of unique entertainment that involves so much audience participation. Everyone takes part in the show whether they are a volunteer up front or a member of the audience. It is an amazing show to see or to be a participant.

Final thoughts from Denis Ridgeway
I am fortunate to be one of the thousands of Stage Hynotists in this country. It takes years of education, study and practive before you are a Certified Hypnotist. Gone are the days when hypnosis was learned off the back of a match book. Today's Stage Hypnotist is a highly regarded trained professional who has spent years in perfecting the craft.
