Description
Learn how to design, perform, and command a professional stage hypnosis show from the ground up. In this complete certification program, Dr. Steve G. Jones — clinical hypnotherapist, stage hypnotist, and Ed.D. — walks you through every element of a live performance, from your pre-show setup to final trance termination.
Across 17 structured modules, you will master the anatomy of a stage hypnosis show including the pre-show, introduction, pretalk, convincers, call to stage, pre-induction instructions, induction and deepening, test skits, committee re-induction, show skits, individual bits, energizing skits, and post-hypnotic skits. You will also learn how to work different types of audiences — including corporate, high school, and general public crowds — and how to handle every variable that arises on stage.
Dr. Jones explains the science behind why stage hypnosis works, including brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta), how to bypass the critical factor, and why nearly any audience member can be hypnotized when the conditions are correctly set. You will also learn the FACTS framework (Fun, Authority, Control, Ten, Science) and the TEACHER pretalk method for building audience trust and generating eager volunteers.
Practical topics include stage layout and supplies, lighting, music, recording, microphone use, diversity of committee selection, and how to handle participants who cycle in and out of trance. To earn certification, students must pass a multiple-choice exam with 75% or higher, submit a written essay, and upload a video of a live performance.
