This is only a sample of the routines. Hypnotist Paul Knight's shows are constantly changing and evolving, so routines change regularly. Not every routine is used in every show and some routines that are not listed may be included. Shows can be customized for your group.

Length of a Performance:

This can be anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Typically, a show runs about 60 minutes. In addition, Paul Knight will stay after the show to visit with your guests and often will perform additional hypnotic routines.

Recommended Audience:

All ages, but the best volunteers are usually over 12 years old. The best show consists of an equal mix of men and women, but unisex shows can be performed. Minimal drinking makes for the best show. Ideally, at least 25 people should be in the audience, but it is possible to perform for a smaller group. Generally, the larger the audience the better the show.

Suggested Equipment:

Chairs for the subjects. About one chair for every eight people in the audience or about 12-18 per 100 people, to a maximum of about 24. A cordless microphone is needed if the room is large. Paul Knight can provide his own sound system if one is not available. All other material will be provided. A stage is preferred, but not necessary.

Other Information:

Shows range from mild to wild. Shows can be "G" (suitable for all ages, most high schools) through "PG" (many corporate shows) to "PG-13" (universities) and "R" (comedy clubs). The show can be custom designed for your group at no extra cost. This should be discussed with Paul Knight prior to the performance.
