Hands on, in person stage hypnosis training taught by The Incredible Hypnotist. Real rooms, real volunteers, real reactions.
Learn where it comes alive
You cannot truly master it in a classroom with someone who has not set foot on stage. Live workshops take you beyond online learning and place you directly in the environment where stage hypnosis happens.
Through live demonstrations and supervised practice, you learn how hypnosis works with real volunteers, real audiences and real performance conditions, in the UK, the USA or a selected international location.
With Richard Barker you learn on real stages, in real venues, from a hypnotist who performs consistently around the globe.
At the workshop
See stage hypnosis performed in front of you and learn why each step works.
Identify responsive volunteers, speak with confidence and guide people safely into hypnosis under expert eyes.
Questions answered in real time, demonstrations adapted to the room, techniques refined on what happens in front of you.
