Stage Technical Requirements

An optimum performance space for a hypnosis show is 12' deep & 24' wide. This allows line-up 12 to 20 Chairs in a row on the stage and walk around the chairs safely and he can remain on the stage at all times.

There are three ways to see the show:

The show and the audience are on the same level.
The audience is raised above the show.
The show is raised on a stage above the audience.

If the show and the audience are both on the same level:

If the audience sits on the floor (i.e., school shows) then everyone can see clearly because the performers are then higher than the audience.

If the Audience is raised above the performance space (i.e., bleachers or lecture halls):

The audience can be any size.
Speakers need to be placed at a height that people can hear clearly.

If the performance is on a stage, raised above the audience:

Stairs are needed leading to the audience in the front , near the center of the stage.
The stage should also be 3 feet to 4 feet off the ground.
If the audience is less than 100 people, and the stage is less than 10 ft. deep and 20 ft. wide, and no more than 2ft off the ground.
- The stage must be a minimum of 8 feet deep and 12 feet wide, but can only be this small if the stage is no higher than 2 ft. off the ground; this way Alan can use the area around and in front of the stage to stand and he can jump on and off the platform anywhere.

Understanding Visability:

If you are sitting in a chair and there are rows of people sitting in chairs in front of you, you can't see over their heads to see the show unless the stage is raised high enough for you to see clearly. If you are sitting in a chair right now, note how high the top of your head is off the ground. This is how high the floor of the stage needs to be so an audience over 100 people can see clearly.

Sound system speakers needs to be high enough off the ground that the sound travels over the heads of the first few rows of people. Sound does not travel through interferences. Imagine the speakers are a light bulb and you want to hit everyone with the light.

Speakers that are built into the ceiling of convention centers may or may not be acceptable.

They can not handle music, speaking and vocal sound effects at the same time. They (almost always) distort and are not clear sounding.

Built-in ceiling speakers are designed for background music, not performance music. Built-in ceiling speakers are designed for making announcements, not performance speaking. Speakers built into the ceiling will distort and the show will be far less successful if you insist on relying on them. Note that movie theaters don't use these speakers - they use professional sound system speakers so the show can be heard clearly.

If Chairs are place on standard floor allow spacing between chairs and guest. so persons on stage have room to Perform.

Sound system please provide a mic with long cord or cordless mic so it can reach both ends of stage

Thank you for bringing me to your upcoming event! Unbiasedly (!) a hypnosis show can be perhaps the most entertaining show a company or campus will witness. Your audience will probably laugh and talk about what they saw for weeks following the show. And I’m honored to be the performer you’ve selected to make this a possibility.

The following : It is critical to the success of the show. It’s VERY IMPORTANT to me that you read every point. I the confidence that you’re as serious about putting on a great show as we are!!

I’d like to stress one point regarding the sound system. Stage monitors are vital. They make a huge difference in the “Depth of Hypnosis” attained by the volunteers and ultimately in the success of the show – honest!!

All designed to make the show as successful as possible. The biggest factor is EXPECTATION. Talk up the show and use the posters and table tents strategically. It is never a good idea to use the show as a “surprise.” This type of program depends on volunteers. It’s beneficial to give your group as much time to “think about it” as possible. In this way when the time comes for the volunteers to come on stage, the response will be positive and the momentum of the show will flow smoothly. It makes all the difference in the world!! Do Not wait till the Day of The event to Tell your guest That a Hypnotist is Coming
