🎤 Why Book a FESH Hypnotist?
✨ Hypnosis: A Unique Live Experience
Hypnosis is one of the great speciality acts of modern entertainment. It’s a standout hit as a cabaret segment, and it truly shines as a full evening show.
FESH members have performed in theatres, schools, universities, corporate events, private parties, and more—across the UK and around the world.
🧠 Choose the Right Kind of Show
Not all hypnosis shows are the same. Do you want:
-
A cheeky, adults-only show for a stag party?
-
A family-friendly event for a community fundraiser?
-
A science-based demonstration on the psychology of hypnosis?
FESH can help you find the perfect hypnotist for your event—someone professional, skilled, and tailored to your audience.
🎭 Why Hypnosis Works So Well
😂 It’s Funny
The audience isn’t just watching the show—they are the show!
Hypnosis is the ultimate interactive entertainment, with real people from the audience becoming the stars of the stage.
Unlike acts that work better on screen, hypnosis is best experienced live, where the audience knows there's no trickery or stooges—just real reactions and spontaneous comedy.
🌀 It’s Mysterious
There’s nothing occult or supernatural about it, but even so, watching someone instantly shift into an altered state of mind is always intriguing—and a little spooky in the best way.
🛡 It’s Safe
Despite old myths, stage hypnosis is completely safe when done by a trained professional.
That’s why FESH exists—to uphold professional standards and protect audiences and volunteers alike.
Even the Home Office confirmed the safety of stage hypnosis in its investigations during the 1990s.
✔️ Why Book Through FESH?
🧾 Proper Insurance
FESH members have access to specialised public liability insurance for stage hypnosis—something not typically included in standard entertainer policies.
🔁 Reliable Backup
If illness or emergency strikes, FESH members can call on their network to find a trusted replacement, ensuring your event still goes ahead smoothly.
🎯 The Right Fit
FESH hypnotists understand their own performance style—and if they’re not right for your audience, they’ll recommend someone who is.
✅ Peer-Reviewed Performers
Every FESH hypnotist is vetted by fellow professionals. To join, they must prove their show is safe, entertaining, and up to the high standard FESH demands.
📜 FESH Code of Conduct
All members must strictly follow the [FESH Code of Conduct], ensuring every show is respectful, ethical, and legal under the 1952 Hypnotism Act and Home Office Guidelines.
⚠️ Beware of Imitators
Some performers use official-sounding names or letters like "MFESH" to suggest qualifications—but hypnosis has no legally recognised qualifications in the UK.
If someone uses post-nominals, ask:
-
What do those letters stand for?
-
What organisation granted them?
-
How many members are in that group?
-
What training was required?
The answers may surprise you.
