The complete online class that takes you from brand new to confidently running real, stage ready comedy hypnosis routines. Led by Richard Barker, The Incredible Hypnotist.
Not theory
Inside the training you learn the practical skills working performers rely on: how to get volunteers, how to run simple suggestibility tests, how to deliver a pre-talk that gets people excited to take part, and how to use stage proven inductions.
Then you learn to keep the show consistent with deepening, pace it so the laughs build bigger and bigger, and end cleanly so volunteers leave feeling great.
Think of it like learning a complete stage set. The lessons give you the structure, the scripts and the sequence, so you are never guessing what comes next.
