What is the Hypno Lorenzo Comedy Stage Hypnosis Show?
The show is guaranteed to keep everyone laughing, and to generate audience participation and bonding.

The audience is filled with anticipation and questions when show time arrives,
"Can I be hypnotized?", "Who is going to be hypnotized?", "What is going to happen?", "Is Hypnosis real?".
Then the show starts, and the audience learns about hypnosis, and they become amazed at power of their imaginations as everyone tries a few suggestibility tests from their seats. Shortly after, the stage area is opened for as many volunteers as will fit. Next Hypno Lorenzo quickly guides the volunteers through a hypnotic induction. The fun begins as the volunteers are transformed into dancers, celebrities, musicians, hypnotists, win 1 million dollars, brought back to age 5, and much much more!.

The audience observes the amazing power of the mind as the volunteers have more fun than the audience. The content is always good clean fun and designed to create a fun, memorable event. Your audience will be rolling on the floor with laughter and provide thunderous applause to the stars on stage. Everyone will enjoy an outstanding show full of fun and excitement that will not embarrass anyone.
Volunteers will also be given post hypnotic suggestions and sent back into the audience to interact with the audience (always a highlight of the show).
At the end of the show each volunteer gets positive suggestions to help them with any realistic goals they have in life, and they will receive a videotaped copy of the show staring them. The audience is always left wanting more !

What is Hypnosis and how does it work?
Hypnosis is a natural occurring event that everyone experiences almost everyday while daydreaming, reading or even while driving long distances or familiar routes along the highway. Simply stated, Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation. In this state of relaxation, a person is more suggestible and a heightened awareness on a subconscious level. Once this state of heightened awareness is achieved the volunteers are able to "zero in" on the specific areas of the mind through the power of suggestion.

What are misconceptions about hypnosis?
Hypnosis is sleep - False, a person in a state of hypnosis is not sleeping, but instead is very relaxed, they are aware of everything going on around them.

You can get stuck in hypnosis - False, everyone experiences hypnosis naturally several times a day. It is impossible to get stuck in hypnosis.

Hypnosis is loss of control - False, a person will not do or say anything under hypnosis that they do not want to do or that is against their will or morals.

The hypnotist has power over a person - False, since all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. A person has the power to accept or reject suggestions.

Weak-minded people are the best subjects - False, the best subjects are those who can concentrate relax and have a good imagination.

Some hypnosis facts you may not have known:
You cannot be "stuck" in a hypnotic state, it is a natural state that everyone goes in and out of several times a day.
Hypnosis heightens your senses, it doesn't "weaken your will".
Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of relaxation and suggestibility, not "sleep".
You cannot be made to do anything while experiencing hypnosis that is against your will or morals.
The more intelligent a person is, the more likely a candidate they make as a hypnosis subject.
Almost anyone who wants to experience hypnosis can!
1 hour of hypnosis is equal to approximately 4 hours of deep relaxing sleep.
Many athletes use hypnosis to heighten their performance.
Hypnosis is the most fun, entertaining experience you can have for your next event.
