Joe DeVito Has Simplified Fundraising For You...

Understanding How to Stage a Successful Hypnosis Show Fundraiser:

Gather a committee, or have the entire membership sell tickets to their friends, family, coworkers, neighbors...etc... This way there will be little or no advertising costs! Joe DeVito's Marketing Group can supply color posters and a custom master ticket sheet for you to reproduce, for an additional professional edge, but at a cost savings!

Consider this:

If your School, College, University, Club, or Charity can sell 200-300 tickets at $15.00 - $20.00 each, the gross income could be $3000.00 - $6000.00 in one show - plan for 2 and double your profit in one night! 

Reduce your room rental costs by utilizing a local community center, auditorium, or gymnasium which your group probably has at their disposal - if not you can always as for someone to donate their room usage as an in-kind offering to help support your cause or event! Even if you have to pay for the room the cost should be minimal.

The show fee is the only major expense - it will be easy to offset by the potentially large profits
from the amount of ticket sales your group can create!

The whole process is very simple and lots of fun - simply sell tickets to a great event all ages can enjoy!

Did You Know This About Stage Hypnosis Entertainment?

In case you were wondering...as I often get this question...What's It Like...How Does It Work?

Well...let me explain, stage hypnosis is hypnosis performed in front of an audience for the sole purpose of entertainment, usually in a school auditorium, theater, or club. A modern stage hypnosis performance typically delivers a comedic show rather than simply a demonstration to impress an audience with powers of persuasion. And, it is not like getting hypnotized clinically to lose weight or stop smoking. This is a Comedy Stage Hypnosis shows are about full audience participation where the volunteers from the audience become the show with the stage hypnotist. It is very much like a tango! It takes at least two....to dance!

Hypnosis tends to make people feel relaxed and more confident within themselves, less inhibited, so those selected will cheerfully perform the small ‘tasks’ they are asked to perform - like dance like you are in a ballet or pretend you are a super hero.

As a professionally trained and certified hypnotist we cannot know for sure whether or not a participant would perform such acts like above in a normal waking state – shyness, introversion and inhibition will cover a multitude of secret wishes and desires, in both the male and the female. The bespectacled and spotty youth may harbor a fantasy of being a rowdy Rock 'n Roller, while lurking within the psyche of a ‘respectable’ and distinctly middle-aged mother of two might be an extremely A personality willing to lead the world to the next revolution!

In the end all shows are lots of fun and yet no two are alike when you work with a professional stage hypnotist like Joe DeVito! Ready to learn more - or hire a hypnotist for your group?

Its NOT Hocus Pocus – It’s Hypnosis!

There are a number of different kinds of hypnosis. The Joe Devito Hypnosis Show is Comedy Stage hypnosis with audience participation in an auditorium, hall, theater or club. Instead of the old timey stereotypical “Hypnosis Show” I offer a fun, amazing experience for all different kinds of audiences, from toned down – Totally Kid and Family Friendly shows to R- rated adult favored shows,

The key though here is as a professional hypnotist I can customize the show for whatever the audience or venue dictates or needs. You - the audience members becomes the show. I have unique talents, insights and fun ways for us to make great entertainment together! You'll quickly learn why you many say you may not just see the show - you might be the show!

Understanding the Full Audience Participation Factor

Audience Participation: 
The truly amazing aspect of the Joe Devito Hypnotist Show is the fact that people come to See the show and Be the show. What this truly means to you is that the audience members make the show truly good.

Each Member of the audience who does participate is what make my shows unique.

Nothing says I love you like an engaged hypnosis audience, total attention and participation results in a great show. If you check out my Youtube Channel you will find great videos of my show where the audience members are transformed into different personas which results in great comedy.

Hypnosis also allows people to relax, and many even become hilarious characters aided by an expert hypnotist (I am nothing if not modest.)

It is 5:30a.m. and I am just coming home from yet another high school grad night.I have to say as tough as it can be I always look foward to April ,May and June ,the hours are rough ,the drive can be long and lonely but the rewards are big.Some of the schools I perform at have been booking the show for 20 plus years, I get to see old friends and make some new one as well when the commitee or administration changes hands. These are loyal customers so they get first crack at next years dates ,they usually book for the following year as soon as i get off stage,with new clients we always make every effort to accommodate their request for specific dates.This year has been extrs busy,I had a few regulars who went price shopping last year ,you guessed it ,cheaper isn't always better ,they got what they paid for ,not only did they book me for 2013,I have a feeling they 'll be calling me back again for next year and for a few more to come. I also got a lot of new business for the same reason.This is the season when the part time wannabees come out ,lets face it you can't be everywhere ,some nights I'll do as many a 3 shows in an evening but it can be a stretch. The fact is you're always going to lose a gig here and there to a lowballer ,don't waste time worring about it ,ther are to many others clients willing to pay for a full time pro and not bith about the price.See you all at the end of June!

Back to the grind

Well folks it's a new year time to get back to work ,marketing,emails ,phone calls ,blogging,not a lot going on the past week or so but starting to lay the ground work for the upcoming months, generally January is kind of slow for me but thanks to good marketing last year things are off to a busy start,regular clients have begun to confirm dates for grad nites ,and some new customers have been added to my growing clientele list. I've booked quite a few new schools as well as some bigger events in the midwest.I'm not a fan of air travel but when the money is right you have to take it.It's nice to be wanted.Now for the flip side of this industry,you;ve all heard me repeat time and again my pet peeve about the lowballers and the skidders,sorry to be repetative ,but they are here to stay ,just like a bad penny they keep showing up .Hey if you're going to put you latest work on u tube at least edit it so it looks like you're a pro,nothing worse than a crap performance with 3 or 4 subjects and no one in the audience,save youself the time make it good or don't bother.Don't get me wrong we've all had a bad one now and again,but please please please refrain from posting it hoping it will get you more work ,ain't gonna happen.Maybe it's time for a nation wide search for the best and worst,it would be like an awards night ,lots of different categories just like the Oscars.The most boring,most over used skit, person most likely to make it,person most likely to fail,best and worst dressed,etc.etc.we can go on and on ,the categories are endless .How else will someone know if they are any good or not unless they are told ,its a good way to cull the herd.Hey don't get me wrong ,I'm not saying I'm the greatest but I don't think I'd still be doing this for 21years if I sucked.I only say this because this brings me to my point, I got a call the other day for a show in upstate N.Y. the booker offered $500.00 plus a room ,it's a 5 hour drive for me, I politely told him I couldn't do it for that amount and gave him my fee, his response was hypnotists are a dime a dozen ,and I said yes they are but not the really good ones!

The Holiday Season is Here!

Tis the season ,from now untill about December 20th ,the calls begin coming for those holiday parties,everything from the big lavish corporate events to the handful of office workers looking for a little something extra or even a family holiday get together. My personal preference is to always avoid anything with excess drinking and an open bar ,groups with lots small children ,and groups of less than 75 people. the first one is a no brainer ,drunker is not better,the more they ingest the worse the show becomes for obvious reasons.nothing more dissapointing than mixing alcohal with hypnosis,the two do not go together at all,one or two drinks is fine if you are a participant,other than that please do not insist you are ok to to be hypnotized and make an ass of yourself on stage by continueing to insist  you are not drunk.The next one is easy ,take the kids to see Santa, get a clown or do some balloon twisting,there is always some idiot adult who thinks it will be fun for the kiddies to watch moms and dads get hypnotized at the family Xmas party,think again ,these tykes are not of age to comprehend what is taking place,and there is always a baby who breaks out in a full fit if crying in the middle of the induction .Last but not least any party with an audience of less than 75 people lets face it the hypnosis stage show should be just that A SHOW! not some half ass wannabe pretending to be a top shelf entertainer doing hyponsis in someones living room for a holiday party of eleven ladies ,or the break room of a law firm using a boom box for sound ,keep it professional.It is better to turn down a lowpaying gig for the sake of all the true stagehypnotists out there than to be a hypnowhore for a few bucks, and make the rest of us look like crap.The bottom line here is this, if you take cheap gigs you look cheap , dont work cheap ,or you get paid cheap,go out and act like a pro or don't go at all. Pick and choose your holiday parties carefully ,you'll be glad you did ,your reputation will thank you for it.Sometimes saying NO to a particular event is a lot better in the long run for you and the client,you will avoid the embarrassment of a less than good performance and an unhappy client whose expectation you did not live up to as a stagehypnotist. See you all next year
