Hypnotist Paul Knight

Hypnotist Paul Knight selects volunteers from the audience to be hypnotized. After hypnotizing them, he takes them through fun, humorous hypnotic routines for the enjoyment of the audience as well as the volunteers. His aim is humor, not embarrassment. The shows can be G (schools, church groups, teens), PG (corporate shows), PG-13 (universities, private parties) or R (nightclubs, private parties). He can even customize your show for your event.

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.

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.
