This is a list of questions for asking a hypnotist you want to hire/book for entertainment. Some of the questions are also appropriate for asking a hypnotherapist if you want hypnotherapy.

What kind of shows do you perform? (clean, family, adult etc.) Make sure that the Hypnotist can perform the appropriate show for your function?
What is your training?
Are you a member of the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners or another recognized Hypnosis Organization?
Do you have a live show or some video that I can see to help us make our decision?
Do you have a performance guide that will help us see what kinds of things you offer?
Are you available on ____________________ (the date of your function) at ____________________ (the location of your function)?
Do you have insurance?
How long is your price quotation Valid?
What are the payment terms (deposits and balance owing)
What does the price include? Production (sound and lights) travel, hotel, meals etc.?

There are many different kinds of hypnosis shows and hypnotists out there.  This goes back to watching some video or seeing a live show.  Get a hypnotist that is appropriate for your function.  If you’re doing a Corporate and/or Family oriented show get someone that can deliver a clean show.  Get a hypnotist like me that treats their volunteers and audience with respect and dignity.

Many XXX hypnotists resort to degrading people for cheap laughs to have a show.  A good hypnotist can have an adult oriented show that does not resort to having volunteers strip and perform lewd acts with chairs and other objects on stage.  That being said, there are people that contact me specifically for shows of that nature.  I personally pass on them as I prefer to treat people with dignity and respect.

I’ve also had schools contacting me telling me how they hired a hypnotist for their school and the hypnotist did a XXX show because the organizers failed to ensure the hypnotist could do a clean show.

It’s up to you to make sure the Hypnotist is aware of what kind of show you want and it’s up to you to make sure they can deliver what you want (watch their video’s first).
