What can we learn from magicians? Here are the 3 rules of “Street Magic”
Find out the techniques used by master “crowd stoppers” by watching this short clip:Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALE65MRP-hA
1. CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION – Use sound, color and movement to attract ALL of the senses. Â Get people INVOLVED not “just watching.”
2. EN-TRANCE & MANAGE ATTENTION – Use the hypnotic language of storytelling, music, varied vocal VOLUME and pacing to connect and deepen the immediate experience.  Repetition and predictability are boring! Make your presentation a roller coaster ride.
3. MAKE THE MESSAGE MEMORABLE -Â Use “catch phrases,” hooks and visual metaphors to help the message “stick” in the memory.

Hypnotic Wizardry
Join master hypnotist Richard Nongard and
World-renowned magician Jeff McBride
Jeff McBride’s Mystery School
in Las Vegas, NV
January 23-25, 2015
Magicians and mentalists will master the art of hypnotic language, directing audiences in new and powerful ways to accomplish routines that are spectacular.
Hypnotists will learn the art of magic, illusion and mentalism and create unique skits that move far beyond what the standard stage hypnotist is offering.
You will be able to exemplify yourself in this intensive three day learning opportunity and you will have the personal attention of two masters within their craft.
This class is for magicians, mentalists, hypnotists and performers that desire to impact audiences with powerful demonstrations which others simply do not perform. You will be setting yourself, and your performance, apart from the rest by combining cognitive magic with innovative performance.
