Hypnosis in Police Work and the Courtroom

This TIME magazine article from 1984 should answer some of the questions many at my Comedy Hypnotist Shows have asked me over the years concerning the use of hypnosis in relation to the crime and the courtroom.

What an outstanding group to work with!

A wonderful Comedy Hypnotist show, customized to the themes, core principles, and earlier acceptance speeches of their most treasured award, the Master Builder of Men; followed by a full house for the Stress Buster Boot Camp I led the next morning before flying back home.

(and who would get on the plane in Phoenix and sit next to me??? Sandi Angat Cardellio, the Manager of Cisco's restaurant in Westlake Village 14 years ago, when I did a Comedy Hypnotist show for the Fairly family's surprise birthday party there!

Just like on the way to Chicago earlier in the tour, I realized I left my computer power supply home, so I stopped at the Kiosk in the Phoenix airport to buy one... the salesgirl looked at me, said she recognized me, asked me what I did for a living, and then exclaimed "OMIGOD! You were the hypnotist for my 12th Birthday party 10 years ago in Northridge!"

Talk about "flying the Friendly Skies!")

Stay tuned, conventioneers.... I'll be adding much more to this post......

For now, that Master Builder of Men, Rick Munson of Junction City, KS,

and the FarmHouse "Pillow" Sleepers!

Walsworth Yearbook Camp Comedy Hypnotist Show

What a night it was for 460 high school yearbook editors, photojournalists, and their staffs!

Memorial Auditorium at Chapman College in Orange, CA was the playground for this incredibly spirited group... and the audience was chock full of terrific photographers, photographing every inch of the performers and the audience! At first, I thought I was in the middle of a new Spike TV series: "Paparazzi in the Wild!"

Special Acknowledgment is due

Auditorium Manager Brian Fujii and his staff handling Theatre

operations, Sound, and Lighting, especially Mike Fountain, who went above and beyond after the show was over. Co-ordinating with Brian, a 10 year veteran in his position, was every variety entertainer's dream: from our first phone call to a full tech rehearsal, Brian made my job a

1000% easier.

Here in the photo with Walsworth's Matt Fraisse, programming head for the Yearbook Camp... ear glued to his cell, co-ordinating and multi-tasking every minute of some VERY long days for the staff!

Old Friends are the best!

Thanks to John and Judy Pederson for opening their hearts and home to me once again while I was in Nor Cal last weekend performing Comedy Hypnosis for the Woodlands Swim Club in Walnut Creek.

The Pedersons' Amazing Grace Music store in San Anselmo, CA is a real landmark in the local community, and draws an extraordinary diverse clientèle from all throughout Marin County and the entire Bay area.

Friday night traffic up through San Jose was no fun... but I still got to the San Anselmo Town Hall to hear John finishing this fiddle tune on the front lawn...

And tonight, a 40th Surprise Disco Birthday party in Sherman Oaks will feature some equally surprising Comedy Hypnosis entertainment!

As Marc says at the end of every show, (in an homage to the late, great magician Christopher J. De Palma):
"He's available for Parties!"

And as so many of his entertainer colleagues like to say:
"We give up our lives on the weekend... so that YOU can have one!"

Friday June 11 6pm: One Show Only---Malibu HS Auditorium

Malibu High School ASB will host its "2nd Annual Comedy Hypnotist Show”, a "Hilarious, yet Cruelty-Free!" comedy fund-raiser this Friday, June 11th.

The show begins at 6 p.m. in the school’s auditorium, 30215 Morning View Drive, Malibu, CA 90265.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students, and will be available at the door at 5:30pm.
For advance tickets or more information, call Mr. Meyer at (310) 457-6801 ext. 305.

The main production is a Vegas style musical comedy hypnosis show with audience participation.

Members of the audience come on stage and get hypnotized.

They are then given funny suggestions to perform---amusing, amazing and inspiring their audience and themselves.

The comedy hypnotist is Marc Bachrach, "The Kinder, Gentler Hypnotist!" who has been entertaining North America for over three decades since 1979, as well as teaching professionals how to use hypnosis in their medical,dental, and psychotherapy practices.

A Clinical Hypnotherapist with offices in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks, Bachrach helps clients with academic and athletic achievement, smoking cessation, stress reduction, weight loss and with test-taking, such as the SAT and the California Bar Exam.

Mr. Bachrach guest lectured in Mr. Andy Meyer's psychology classes at MHS recently. Marc's live demonstration of various hypnotic phenomenon with the students was videoed and shown throughout the school in preparation for the "2nd Annual MHS Comedy Hypnotist Show.”

Bachrach is a former Trancas and Monte Nido resident who, along with his late wife Audrey Allen Bachrach, performed with the Malibu Summerstage in the late 1980's, most notably as Bottom in Shakespeare's A MidSummer Night's Dream.
His afternoon program, Marc Bachrach's Mastermind Hour Radio Show, broadcast live in Los Angeles for 8 years, carried the Malibu Summerstage Radio Adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", featuring Terry Tamminen, Rick Johnson, and the Bachrachs.

An element completely unique to Bachrach's Comedy Hypnosis Shows: Those "onstage" are directed to dramatically differentiate between the silly situations they find themselves in, and the truth that they themselves are not silly.
The take-away for those hypnotized in the show is the empowering, repeated reminder that they are feeling comfortable, not self-conscious -- even in the silliest of the Comedy Hypnosis situations!
They are given the option to remember to use these “teachable moments” long after the show is over. This strengthens the experience of "laughing with" rather than being "laughed at."

The hypnotized volunteers are then gifted with the suggestion that they can choose to be invulnerable to misguided or mean-spirited attempts to embarrass or criticize them -- long into their future!

The Stetson Experience will begin the show with bravura demonstrations of mind-reading and Mentalism by comedic entertainer extraordinaire Jon Stetson.

The Stetson Experience harnesses the power and connection of Mind, Mirth, and Mystery.

"He Knows What You're Thinking...No, Really, He Does!"

Stetson, on tour from his home town of Fairhaven, Mass. is an enormous favorite at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. Jon has performed 6 times in 20 years at the White House... yes, THAT White House!.. and appeared in over 25 countries in over 10.000 performances.

Jon Stetson is a master of sleight-of-mind demonstrations and mind-to-mind contact.

Video Slideshow: The Excitement of Entertainment Line's COMEDY HYPNOSIS SHOW for El Camino HS Grad Nite 2010 in South San Francisco

Thanks to Jack Convery of Entertainment Line in Benecia, CA

and Alan Sands of ASE, Alan Sands Entertainment for the opportunity to work with a great group of graduates and their parents last Friday night/Saturday morning!
Mercifully for this nocturnal hypnotist, the show actually began at 1:00 am, rather than the more grueling 3 or 4 a.m. that many grad nite comedy hypnosis shows begin at!

The Comedy Hypnosis Show ends Grad Nite 2010 with Hilarious Laughter!

Thanks also to John Convery (Yes, related!) MC/DJ and Justin for AV support throughout!

My Deepest thanks to the Parents, Staff, and Vendors for providing a great, safe nite for the graduates, the awesome creative and talented Volunteers who WERE the show, and an audience of great kids totally ready to cut loose and enjoy their last few moments together as a class! Bon Voyage to y'all, and thanks for inviting me to your party!
