Become a Confident, Professional Stage Hypnotist
Whether you want to make people laugh, take hypnosis to the stage, or simply level up your hypnotherapy skills — this training is for you.
Led by Grant Saunders, international performer, keynote speaker, and founder of the Performing Hypnosis Summit in Las Vegas, this training gives you real-world, no-fluff insights into the art of stage hypnosis.
Grant is also one of the founding members of the International Stage Hypnotists Association, and has spent over 20 years performing across the UK and worldwide — from cruise ships to corporate events, holiday parks to high-profile venues. What you get here isn’t textbook theory — it’s experience from thousands of real shows and every lesson learned on stage.
What Makes This Training Different?
There are plenty of hypnosis trainings out there — but very few are run by someone who’s:
Actively performing now, in modern settings
Worked across five continents
Spoken on international stages about performance hypnosis
Obsessed with show structure, audience psychology, and delivering a polished performance
This training isn’t just about putting someone under — it’s about creating a show that wows, keeps the audience engaged, and leaves your volunteers feeling amazing.
One Day Impromptu Hypnosis – Detroit – 11th September
Ever been asked, “Can you show me something?” This workshop is for the moments when hypnosis happens in real life — not in a clinic chair or on a theatre stage. The Impromptu Hypnosis Workshop is a practical, one-day training designed specifically for hypnotherapists who want a toolkit of ethical, impressive, on-the-spot hypnosis demonstrations they can use in social situations, networking events, after talks, or casual conversations. No scripts that sound robotic. No embarrassing party tricks. No swinging watches or stage-show pressure. Just clean, modern hypnosis that works with eyes open, in real conversations.
What You’ll Learn
✔ Fast suggestibility tests that feel like real hypnosis
✔ Instant phenomena such as name amnesia, lightness/heaviness, and laughter
✔ Conversational and social hypnosis techniques
✔ How to frame hypnosis confidently and ethically
✔ What to say when someone asks, “Show me something.”
✔ How to recover smoothly if a demo doesn’t land
✔ When not to hypnotise — and how to stop cleanly. Everything taught is designed to be used immediately, safely, and confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stage Hypnosis Training
Do I need to be a hypnotherapist to learn stage hypnosis?
Nope! While hypnotherapists do find it incredibly useful (and many attend), this training is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to perform stage hypnosis safely, confidently, and professionally — whether you’re brand new or already working with hypnosis in another setting.
Will I get to practice live during the training?
Yes! The live weekend trainings are hands-on and interactive. You’ll be doing the inductions, running the routines, and getting feedback in real time. We don’t just sit and talk theory — you’ll be up and working from day one.
What makes this different from other stage hypnosis courses?
Most courses are either outdated, purely theoretical, or taught by people who aren’t actively performing. With me, you’re learning from someone who:
Has performed globally for over 20 years
Runs the Performing Hypnosis Summit in Las Vegas
Is a founding member of the International Stage Hypnotists Association
Still performs every week in front of real audiences
This is real-world training from someone who walks the walk (and still tours the stage).
Is there any ongoing support after the training?
Absolutely. Once you’ve done the course, you’ll be part of our private Facebook support group — “Stage Hypnosis Training UK” — where you can ask questions, share wins, get feedback, and stay connected to a community of like-minded hypnotists.
We also run live Q&A Zooms, performance breakdowns, and additional support sessions.
What’s the difference between the weekend course and the one-day rapid induction workshops?
The weekend training is your full immersion — it covers everything from stage structure and routines to safety, pre-talks, inductions, and handling audience dynamics.
The one-day rapid induction workshops are laser-focused on fast, effective inductions. Perfect if you want to master techniques like hand drops, magnetic fingers, instant eye locks, and deepen your confidence in real-time hypnotic responses.
Where are the trainings held?
The two weekend courses are held at different UK locations — to be announced. Keep an eye on the site and register your interest here to be the first to know.
The one-day workshops will also rotate through accessible UK venues. Venues are chosen for comfort, atmosphere, and a bit of that “stage feel.”
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
100%. You don’t need prior experience. If you’re curious, passionate, and ready to learn — I’ll teach you everything you need. And if you’re already a hypnotist, this will take your skillset and confidence to the next level.
I’m a hypnotherapist — how will this help me in the clinic?
Stage hypnosis training helps you:
Build confidence and authority when working with clients
Understand compliance and suggestibility on a deeper level
Sharpen your rapid inductions
Deliver talks, demos, or group sessions that convert
Grow your personal brand by becoming more comfortable in the spotlight
Whether you ever step on a stage or not, it’s a massive upgrade to your skills.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes — you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion for each course you attend. More importantly, you’ll leave with practical, repeatable skills and the confidence to start performing or integrating hypnosis into your work.
Got a question we haven’t answered?
No worries — get in touch here, or drop a message in the Stage Hypnosis Training UK Facebook Group and someone (probably me!) will be happy to help.
