Sami Dare, female stage hypnotist

Sami Dare’s stage hypnosis show is the ultimate reality show – the audience provides the entertainment!

Sami’s stage hypnosis programs explore the entertaining possibilities of the phenomenon we call hypnosis. The show is hilarious fun for everyone! Members of your group become stars of a wonderfully creative and hilarious romp through the imagination. They become fishermen, racecar drivers and movie stars. They eat ice cream cones, speak foreign languages, and may even forget their own names! Because all hypnosis is truly “self hypnosis,” the participants make it happen - not the hypnotist! People always have fun. Nobody is embarrassed. It's safe, funny, and guaranteed to please.

What’s the best thing about being a performer?
“I love working with people, and I love traveling around the country. What I like best about being a professional entertainer is making people feel good. I love to watch the audience’s reaction to what people are doing on stage. There’s a lot of smiling, applause and even belly laughing going on throughout the performance. Listening to what people have to say at the end of the evening is also a highlight. Participants in the show marvel at the feeling of being hypnotized, talking about headaches and body aches that disappear and a feeling of total rest and relaxation. Audiences often say it was the perfect choice in entertainment for their group. Laughter truly is the best medicine.”
