Live Stage Hypnosis Workshops with Richard Barker
Hands-on, in-person stage hypnosis training taught by The Incredible Hypnotist, with live workshops in the UK, USA, and selected international locations.
Live stage hypnosis is learned most effectively in front of real people, in real rooms, with real reactions. A live stage hypnosis workshop allows you to experience hypnosis as it actually works, not as theory, scripts, or abstract ideas, but as a practical skill you can confidently use on stage.
At Hypnotist Stage Academy, live stage hypnosis workshops are taught by Richard Barker, widely known as The Incredible Hypnotist, one of the world’s most experienced comedy stage hypnotists and trainers.
These in-person workshops are designed to take you beyond online learning and place you directly into the environment where stage hypnosis comes alive. Through hands-on training, live demonstrations, and supervised practice, you will learn how stage hypnosis works with real volunteers, real audiences, and real performance conditions.
Whether you attend a live stage hypnosis workshop in the UK, the USA, or a selected international location, the goal is the same: to give you clarity, confidence, and practical experience so you can safely and effectively perform stage hypnosis and comedy hypnosis in the real world.
What Happens at a Live Stage Hypnosis Workshop
A live stage hypnosis workshop is an immersive, hands-on learning experience where you actively participate rather than simply observe. You will see stage hypnosis performed live, learn why each step works, and then practice those same techniques under expert guidance. This process removes uncertainty and replaces guesswork with understanding.
During the workshop, you will learn how to identify responsive volunteers, how to speak with confidence on stage, and how to guide participants safely and respectfully into hypnosis. You will experience inductions, deepening techniques, and practical stage structures that are proven to work with real audiences. Every element is explained clearly so you understand not just what to do, but why it works.
Live workshops also allow for immediate feedback. Questions are answered in real time, demonstrations are adapted to the room, and techniques are refined based on what actually happens in front of you. This creates rapid learning and a level of confidence that cannot be replicated through theory alone.
Who These Live Workshops Are For
These live stage hypnosis workshops are suitable for a wide range of people, from complete beginners to experienced performers looking to refine their skills. If you are new to stage hypnosis, the workshops provide a structured, supportive environment where you can learn safely, clearly, and at a pace that builds confidence.
For performers, entertainers, speakers, and coaches, live training offers the opportunity to sharpen stage presence, improve communication, and understand how hypnosis fits naturally into live performance. Hypnotherapists who want to transition into stage hypnosis or comedy hypnosis will also benefit from learning how hypnosis functions in front of an audience rather than in a one-to-one setting.
These workshops are ideal for anyone who wants real-world stage hypnosis experience, whether your goal is comedy hypnosis shows, motivational speaking, entertainment, or simply mastering the skill of confidently guiding people on stage.
Why Live Training Accelerates Stage Hypnosis Skills
Live training accelerates stage hypnosis skills because it removes the gap between learning and doing. When you train live, you experience the energy of the room, the unpredictability of volunteers, and the dynamics of a real audience. These are the elements that define successful stage hypnosis, and they can only be fully understood through direct experience.
In a live workshop, mistakes become learning opportunities rather than setbacks. You learn how to adapt, how to stay calm under pressure, and how to maintain control and safety on stage. This builds genuine confidence, not rehearsed confidence, but the kind that comes from knowing you can handle real situations.
By training live with Richard Barker, you gain insights drawn from decades of professional performance experience across the UK, the USA, and international stages. This depth of experience ensures that what you learn is practical, ethical, and proven, allowing your stage hypnosis skills to develop faster and more naturally than through theory alone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Live Stage Hypnosis Workshops
What is a live stage hypnosis workshop?
A live stage hypnosis workshop is an in-person training experience where you learn stage hypnosis through direct participation, observation, and guided practice. Instead of only watching or studying theory, you experience how stage hypnosis works in real time, with real people, real reactions, and real performance conditions. These workshops focus on practical skills such as volunteer selection, inductions, stage control, safety, and audience management, allowing you to learn stage hypnosis the way it is actually performed on stage.
Do I need prior hypnosis experience to attend a live stage hypnosis workshop?
No prior hypnosis experience is required. Live stage hypnosis workshops are suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced hypnotists and performers. Beginners learn the foundations of stage hypnosis in a clear, structured way, while experienced participants refine their skills, timing, confidence, and stage presence. The training adapts to your experience level, ensuring you gain value whether this is your first exposure to stage hypnosis or part of your professional development.
What will I actually do during a live workshop?

The modern stage hypnotist must be able to take people deeper into hypnosis than in a clinical setting and do it in a fraction of the time it would normally take, all while being observed by hundreds of people. You must determine rapidly who will be the best volunteers and observe carefully the hypnotic state of those onstage and discern their depth at all times throughout the show.
You must have the ability to create and word hypnotic suggestions to which participants will respond and possess techniques available to work with a full spectrum of personalities. You must also be aware of the ethics involved in hypnosis and have the ability to recognize the dangers that can be incurred both by the participant and the hypnotist
