Winter Carnival Hypnotist Show
It's the time of year Ian stewart does a ton of Winter Carnival Hypnotist Shows! This week alone saw Ian at 7 locations throughout the Maritimes performing for over 3000 people, and hypnotizing over 100! The winter can be long and cold in the Maritimes, so many people are looking for something to do in February, so a show that gets the audience involved is a great idea. Here are some thoughts from Ian: I remember one of my first winter carnival seasons, I went to a remote area to a church. the church was having the event in the basement of the church. I figured it would be a lot of fun, and it was. The first thing I noticed was the amount of alcohol the bar was serving. People were drinking a lot! Also,…
Hypnosis show customization is an optional resource available to our clients who may be working to convey a specific message or incorporate specific individuals or organizational themes into their program.

Organizations that are interested in customization want to provide entertainment, yet want to benefit from achieving organizational objectives.

Entertainment for University Students
I had the opportunity to provide entertainment for university students at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick this week. It was my 5th time performing at the University and each time seems better than the last! Mount Allison university's website: http://mta.ca/ I've performed in several places on the campus over the years, and this year was perhaps my favourite. The show was in a small theatre that sat about 300, called the Brunton Auditorium in the Marjorie Young Bell Conservatory of Music. I know the pic is blurry, but taking a selfie during a show is difficult! The students also gave me a nice treat bag with Mount A sunglasses, a water bottle, a shirt, an egg cooker, and a stress duck (like a stress ball, but looks like a rubber duckie). My favourite Mount Allison University…Hypnosis shows brings corporate groups together
Most people are surprised when they learn how a hypnosis show brings corporate groups together! At first I was too! But then I realized it's because a hypnosis show isn't about the hypnotist, it's about the volunteers. Of course you need a good hypnotist to engage the crowd (for a good hypnotist I humbly recommend www.ianstewart.info...), but after the show is over they often remember what their associates did more than anything. But more important than the people having fun is the memories and friendships that are formed. My favourite part of every show is watching the audience after the show. Seeing the smiles and handshakes the volunteers get. They are suddenly celebrities in their work place! I remember a show i did for a large communications group at a beach resort back in 2012. I…
It may sound odd to ask how to hire a hypnotist, but here are some things you may not have thought of. It's very easy to learn the basics of hypnosis. Sadly, hypnosis is not regulated and therefore you can't look for a licensed hypnotist to entertain your group. Anyone can make a nice looking website these days, so I suggest you follow the tips below to avoid hiring someone you may later regret. Is the hypnotist insured? A hypnotist should have insurance. Hypnosis is very safe, but it's a sign of a professional if they have insurance. most "weekend warrior" hypnotists won't be bothered spending the money on insurance. How many shows do they do a year? Professional hypnotist are doing AT LEAST 2 shows every month. Many top hypnotists are doing 150+ a year. If someone…
Can I stop smoking with hypnosis? This is one of the most common ones when someone finds out you're a hypnotist. The answer is, in my experience, that it may work for you! I say may because I personally don't believe it works for everyone. It works for many, but is not a cure all. What controls the success? A personal desire!!! If a person doesn't want to quit, they simply won't. If however, a person wants to quit smoking, then using hypnosis the cravings and habit can often be successfully eliminated. Hypnosis works for many people to stop smoking! I always tell people that there are many methods to quit smoking like the patch, stop smoking gum, cold turkey, nasal spray, vaping, and countless others. Hypnosis is another method on the list. None of…
It's great to be recognized as the top PEI Hypnotist! I've performed for many corporate groups in Prince Edward Island. In the last month alone I've performed for the Summerside Skating Club, The Journal Pioneer, Sysco, Prestige Floral, Town and Country Carpet, Service Canada, the staff of Kensington High School, Bob's Pharmacy (yep it's called that!), and the great people at Old Dutch Chips. Here's what people were saying about the PEI Hypnotist shows: "What a fabulous night. The entertainment was top notch" - Town and Country Carpet "We all had a great time Saturday night. entertainment was great!!" - Old Dutch Foods "Ian provided unforgettable entertainment for our Christmas parties that had everyone glad that they chose the Shipyard as their location. The quality of the show was beyond our expectations and made for a perfect night out for every company and guest. It was…
Ian Stewart is probably the number one Moncton Hypnotist, simply because of the number of shows done there, and how often he's invited back! Here he talks about a few recent trips: I just got home from another great show in Moncton, New Brunswick last night. I've lost track of how many shows I've done in Moncton, but its safe to say well over 100. In fact, there is one theatre in the Moncton area I've performed at over 25 times! The Casino in Moncton has an incredible showroom that hosts many large events. I had the chance to work there on New years Eve 2016/2017 as part of the Dean Brody concert. The staff there are great! I had pyro across the light trusses that fired by remote, very cool! The casino entertainment page is…
Paraseek website links to hypnotist Ian Stewart
I found a great list of professional hypnotists that I really enjoyed. It's on a site called Parseek and the list of hypnotists can be found on the page http://www.paraseek.com/Hypnotists/ . I found myself on the list, as well as many of my associates in the business. Scott Ward is there, Tyzen, Justin Tranz and many others that I've had connections with over the years. Hypnotists don't hang out together... It's interesting how hypnotists don't typically associate with other hypnotists. In addition to being one of the busiest hypnotists in the world I also do a juggling show (www.chainsawjuggling.com), and I've always found jugglers to hang out in groups. jugglers exchange ideas and love to practice together. Perhaps this is because jugglers are often hired to perform with other jugglers. I've never had an evening where an event…
Corporate shows are my favourite! I'm just finishing my second weekend of the 2017 Corporate Holiday Party season. I performed my corporate hypnosis entertainment for a total of 5 groups in the last 2 weeks, and have another 14 corporate entertainment events before Christmas. My Saturday night hypnosis show was especially fun as I finally had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Shipyard Weddings location in Summerside PEI. Their Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/ShipyardWeddingsAndEvents/ It's great to be back in Summerside doing hypnosis shows, I haven't performed in Summerside for almost 10 months, but I'll be back at the Shipyard again next Saturday night (I think there's still about 20 tickets available but selling fast!) It's very rewarding to be one of the top Corporate Entertainers in Canada. Being requested back multiple times is the most rewarding part of doing…
