What to Know When Hiring a Hypnotist

Hypnotism can be both entertaining in a group setting and practical for helping individuals overcome personal struggles. For example, it can help people combat anxiety and shyness, build self-esteem and self-confidence, cope with stress or loss, and combat addiction. Hypnotists are also well-suited for engaging guests at parties and large-scale events. To ensure you make the best selection when hiring one, discover some important considerations below.

Stage/Entertainment Hypnotist Expenses

A stage hypnotist may be more expensive than a traditional hypnotist simply because they have more expenses. Consider your hypnotist’s travel expenses, costs for props and/or music, and the number of guests they’ll be entertaining. Just remember that you’ll also be paying for experience and a high level of expertise, especially if you hire a hypnotist with a good reputation.

Look for Experience

The more experience your hypnotist has, the more likely they are to put on a great show or help you achieve your desired outcomes. If you’re hiring a stage hypnotist for a corporate event, start by asking for referrals from event planners and others inside and outside of your organization. If this method doesn’t uncover any strong candidates, you can also move your search to the internet. Credible hypnotists may be listed first, but always check a hypnotist’s website and reviews for credibility, just to be safe. Make sure they fit certain criteria. For example, verify that they:

• Are licensed and experienced
• Provide a variety of services (including appropriate services for your event)
• Offer upfront pricing, a list of services and a contract
• Include samples (i.e. videos) of their work on their website
• Can provide list of references

Consider Their Other Qualities

Experienced hypnotists who are dedicated to their craft offer far more than just entertainment value. They also provide inspiration, confidence boosts and motivation. These attributes are especially beneficial in a corporate environment. Thus, they could boost employee morale, relieve stress or tension, motivate skill improvements, inspire fresh perspectives and ways of solving problems, promote teamwork and enhance productivity. For these reasons, finding a reputable hypnotist for your next event could pay off tremendously.
