Hypnotism

Ron Lindberg is available to perform a comedy hypnosis show for corporate groups, fairs, festivals, College and High School groups. Ron has been studying the art of stage hypnosis since 2002 under his good friend Ray Thompson a professional stage hypnotist from Iowa. In a recent interview Ron said:
“I have always been fascinated with the art of Hypnosis and have wanted to learn this form of entertainment for many years. Whenever I present my magic shows I run into the same problem that all magician’s (including David Copperfield) do. Some audience members, while entertained, still understand that what they are seeing is a trick, an illusion. With hypnosis, what the audience sees is 100% real. It is recognized by the scientific community as fact & hypnosis is used in the world today in a variety of ways. Police use it as a way of helping a witness remember events, athletes use it to improve performance, and it can be used to change undesirable behavior such as over eating and smoking. While I will never give up my original love of performing magic, hypnosis offers me another way of entertaining my clients.”

A hypnosis show by Ron Lindberg provides good clean fun. At a magic show by Rondini, Rondini is the main “star” of the performance but in a hypnosis show, the audience members are the stars. Imagine seeing someone convinced that they are Madonna or Shania Twain or watch a man (perhaps your friend, spouse, or boss) hypnotised and certain he is 9 months pregnant. Then watch between tears of laughter as he goes through the process of giving birth!! Where else can you see these acts but during a Hypnosis show by Ron Lindberg?! Also, remember that a Hypnosis show by Ron Lindberg is backed by almost 30 years of performance experience by one of the states busiest entertainers. Each show is about 60-90 minutes in length and if desired, you can even combine the award winning magic & illusions of Rondini and a hypnosis show by Ron Lindberg into a full evening of entertainment which will leave you and your guests talking for months!!!
