Absolutely not! Participants are the hypnotist's teammates or partners on stage. There is no embarrassment or disrespect. Unlike some hypnotists who purely do stage shows, Jason is also one of the country's top-rated hypnotherapists, which has him exceptionally tuned into the sensitivities and safety of participants.

Only a small percentage goes very "deep." In reality, the hypnotist wants participants that aren't exceptionally deep so they are still responsive and actively having fun on stage.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all experience typically on a daily basis - we just don't call it hypnosis. Whenever you lose track of time deeply immersed in an activity or even find yourself daydreaming, that's a form of hypnosis. We simply bring out and enhance that state on purpose. Nearly everyone on this planet can be hypnotized - the very small percentage that isn't readily "suggestible" commonly still enjoys the relaxation or just experiencing something new. Cynics are often the best people to hypnotize. People do experience hypnosis at different depths, and you don't know until you experience it.

Hypnosis is very much unlike how Hollywood portrays it for dramatic effect. We might have fun imagining ourselves as a zombie or momentarily forget our name in hypnosis, noone ever exits hypnosis as a zombie or has amnesia... in fact, we WANT you to remember the fantastic experience so you can tell all your friends! 

Our experiences focus on the mental well being and physical safety first - keep in mind, we separately perform clinical work with clients for anxiety, trauma, and other matters and care very much about every participant. We always strive to educate and demistify hypnosis at the same time we are looking to give you an incredible experience. Events end with an opportunity to ask questions of the hypnotist.

All of our experiences are clean and suitable for families unless you tell us otherwise and we can kick things up a notch or two. 

The entire experience is interactive. The group will interact with the hypnotist and each other for the majority of the event. All participants participate in the adventure portion of the event.

In the virtual Hypnosis Adventure show, the hypnotist asks that the organizer to join 15 minutes prior to orient each other and ensure everything will run smoothly. The hypnotist then opens up the virtual room with music and visuals to set the mood. If there are no opening remarks by the organizers, the hypnotist takes over and runs the show. He allows for a couple minutes at the conclusion for the organizers to say a few words if desired. Typically a show begins a few minutes after the official start time to allow latecomers to join and for everyone to get settled. The hypnotist will work with you ahead of time to coordinate any unique needs.

Hypnosis is just as easily accomplished remotely as it is in person. The hypnotist has perfected the techniques over the past years. In fact, he sees individual hypnotherapy clients daily, with about half only remote.

Hypnosis Adventures runs 60 or 90 minutes for the longer experience that includes a discussion and practice of self-hypnosis - a great takeaway for the audience. 

Oh, please do! We welcome you to schedule a 20-minute Zoom chat where you will learn some insider information about how hypnosis works and begin crafting what the experience will look like for your company or organization. Schedule here: https://hypnosis.as.me

Yes. Hypnosis Adventures shows are run virtually or in person. The hypnotist resides in the San Francisco Bay Area but also travels worldwide. Please inquire for his schedule availability and rates.

Absolutely. We will provide proof to you at the time of booking.

Note: organizers often ask if anyone can get "stuck" in hypnosis. An occassional person may fall asleep because they are so relaxed and came into the experience exhausted. Usually some simple commands wake them up. 

A detailed, straightforward checklist will be provided at the time of booking to help everything go smoothly whether you choose a virtual or in person experience. We can also discuss these during an introductory conversation by Zoom - please request with the form below.
