Hypnosis is safe when induced by an experienced, qualified professional such as SZELES.  In Fact, during his thirty years of performing comedy hypnosis, SZELES has never had any kind of accident or law suit filed against him as a result of negligence.  So relax, you are in competent hands!

Certainly anyone with an open mind, reasonable intelligence and who is able to concentrate can be hypnotized. Some people are more difficult to induce hypnosis in than others, but this does not mean that they are less capable of being hypnotized. It merely indicates their resistance for one of many possible reasons (fear of losing control, etc.)  Sometimes it may take you two or more tries to go 'under', so don't give up!

Yes it is. Hypnosis is a feeling of complete mental and physical relaxation. You are awake and aware of what is going on around you, and your mind is still active. If you were 'asleep' you would not be able to interact with SZELES.  Your sub conscious mind protects you at all times, so you will never do anything which would violate your moral or ethical reasoning.

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring altered state of consciousness, in which people accept suggestions without making critical judgments. Being ‘lost in thought,’ ‘day dreaming’ or ‘highway hypnosis’ are all euphemisms for being in a light hypnotic state of consciousness.

As with any other profession, you have your ‘pros’; you know the ones, who really know their stuff and have been doing ‘it’ for years; and then there are the novices, those who may have had some training, but lack the experience needed to overcome the unexpected. There are many hypnotist’s out there who have had maybe 3 days of training at most. Would you place your trust in a three day wonder, or would you feel more comfortable with a seasoned veteran with over 30 years actual experience? Many people today, unfortunately shop for ‘price’ and not experience. One thing that is universal, be it furniture or entertainment, you certainly get what you pay for! A tastefully executed show is unforgettable, and will live on the mind’s of your guests for months after.

Yes, my wife Pauline assists me with all of my shows. She often jokes that she can do my show backwards, as she has been to pretty near all of them!
