Live comedy hypnosis act by qualified hypnotherapist Fraser Penman. An hour of unpredictable hypnosis with a selection from the audience, cleverly elicited.

Fraser demonstrates aspects of hypnosis while providing reassurance that it is a safe practice. He tries to eliminate common myths “it’s fake” or “it won’t work on me” which does depend on which audience members participate.

Very quickly, Fraser can exclude people who are not susceptible to hypnosis or, as was in most cases, did not take it seriously. Left are a select few and sadly some individuals not genuinely hypnotised. It is a shame people feel the need to do that because if you listen and follow instruction, anyone can be hypnotised.

Despite this, the show produced a lot of funny material and some unexpected outcomes. Fraser is a true professional and does perform an entertaining, comedy show while maintaining peoples safety.

I am a firm believer of the power of the mind. I have been hypnotised and it is indeed a true and effective process. Some spoil it for others, enhancing the myths that it is “fake”. If you are chosen or volunteer for a show like this, trust and go along with it. You may be pleasantly surprised.
