Comedy Hypnosis
The only show where you, the audience, are the stars. A clean, ethical comedy hypnosis show that leaves your guests laughing for years. Plus hypnotherapy for the people who want to change something for real.
An evening of laughter, guaranteed
I take willing volunteers from the audience and guide them through mind-bending, side-splitting comedy scenarios through the power of suggestion. You'll watch your friends and coworkers believe they won the lottery, become a celebrity, or put on a pair of x-ray glasses. Nobody is embarrassed. Everyone is empowered. Always within the boundaries of good taste.
I open with magic as a warm-up, then the hypnosis takes over. I bring my own Bose sound system, wireless mic, and DJ setup, so the audio is smooth and professional and the room is ready to go.

Testimonials
"John gave an outstanding performance with huge audience participation at our annual company party. Everyone commented that this was the best party they have attended. A true entertainer with tremendous class and the ability to keep a large group fixated on his performance, with no one wanting him to stop."
Scott MacDougall, General Manager, Fraser Lake Sawmills
"Your magic and hypnotic skills were epic. A contractor flagged the manager down in the parking lot just to say how much fun he and his wife had. Almost a month later people are still raving about it. One of the best nights I've had in this town."
Crystal Franks, CPA, CA, West Fraser Mills
"We hired the comedy hypnosis show for our Halloween event and he was extremely entertaining and totally engaged the audience. He would be an excellent addition to any event."
Ingrid Doerr, President, North Shore Green Markets Society
Questions people ask
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Hypnosis is a normal, natural state of mind: deep physical and mental relaxation while your mind stays clear, focused, and alert. You drift into it dozens of times a day, daydreaming, or losing a word on the tip of your tongue. On stage it feels like hours of natural sleep.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Anyone who can focus and concentrate can go into hypnosis, and the more intelligent the person, the easier it usually is. But you have to be willing. Nobody can be hypnotized against their will, on stage or off, and nobody can be made to do anything against their ethics.
What do you need for a stage?
A raised stage is preferable but not required; a stage area works. As large as possible, against a wall if you can, and away from high-traffic spots like bars, kitchen doors, and washrooms. Sixteen to twenty sturdy, comfortable, armless chairs for the volunteers. We'll go over it before the show.
Where should the audience sit?
Close enough to feel part of it and see the stage clearly, but not close enough to touch, talk to, or distract the volunteers.
Sound and room?
I bring my own Bose sound system, wireless mic, and DJ setup. Keep the room at a comfortable temperature; too hot or too cold and the volunteers get uncomfortable.
How long is the show?
It's built around your event. Tell me the crowd, the room, and the night, and I'll size it.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is also the fastest tool I know for changing what runs underneath: sleep, stress, anxiety, old patterns, confidence, focus, performance. Sessions are in person or online from anywhere, and they start with a free consultation to work out exactly what you need.
- Sleep and deep rest
- Stress and anxiety
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Habits and addictions
- Weight and health
- Focus and performance
- Grief and old patterns
- Pain management
Hypnotherapy is a complement to medical care, not a replacement for it. I'll tell you straight if something isn't a fit.
"I began with healthy skepticism. Hypnotherapy is a full-on high intensity cross training session for your subconscious. With John's patience, understanding and expert guidance I was able to access problems in my way in a way I never had. From corrosive cynic to true believer in ten sessions."
John Gallagher, Entertainment Illustrator, UncannyKnack.com
"After a hypnotherapy program with John over two months, my mental and physical health has improved tenfold. My anxiety levels are next to nothing and the physical pains that came with it have reduced significantly. I enjoy life. I look forward to it."
