Because of the trickery used in stage hypnosis the idea of using hypnosis as a legitimate therapeutic tool took a long time to catch on in the West. People automatically assumed that hypnosis was fake, just like stage hypnosis was fake. But as the study of psychology grew and scientists, doctors, and behaviorists began to understand more and more the impact of the connection between the mind and the body on the physical health of a person the idea that a true hypnotic state really did exist began to fascinate the medical community.

Early studies that were done using hypnosis had mixed results, probably because the researchers were not fully trained in how to use hypnosis and how to get patients and subjects relaxed into a true hypnotic state. Once they were able to get people into real hypnotic states they were amazed at the results that were possible using nothing more than deep relaxation and the power of hypnotic suggestions.

Even after hypnosis began to be embraced by the medical community the public at large took longer to convince. Today there are still believe who believe that stage hypnosis is all hypnosis is and that if they go to a hypnotherapist for treatment they will be giving up their free will and letting someone else take control of them. Many people regard hypnosis as New Age hooey that doesn’t have any real medical value but nothing could be further from the truth. In today’s fast paced high stress world using hypnosis and deep relaxation is the perfect treatment for many of the illnesses that people suffer from since so many of them are caused by the high stress lifestyles of modern people.

The medical field and the psychological field are still studying hypnosis and are finding new ways to apply hypnosis as a therapeutic tool all the time. Already hypnosis is being used to treat many common physical and psychological conditions. Hypnosis is also often used in criminal justice to trigger the memories of witnesses to crimes and to help people heal from traumatic events.

Sports are the newest field to embrace hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. Sports medicine specialists are finding that the deep relaxation techniques used in hypnosis can help athletes become more focused and help them work through pain, anxiety and other problems. Using hypnosis improves their performance and their concentration and helps them become better, more successful athletes.

If you’ve got the heart to perform, the desire to entertain and the will to succeed, then the magic business might be for you. The line of work isn’t considered conventional by most people, but unless you are like most people, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.

You’ve decided to embark on a career that involves connecting with audiences by entertaining them with magic and illusions. You’ve worked on your skills, your presentation and on your show. Now you’re ready to get out there and find people who will want to see you perform.

That can get tricky because with so much competition out there, being good at your show may not be the only requirement to get bookings. And unless you’re prepared to do some more work and to wait for the fruits of that work to pay off, you might be disappointed at the lack of gigs you can get for yourself. But if you’re prepared to go the distance, learning how to find and get performance gigs will eventually pay off with results you may never have initially imagined.

First thing you should know is what kind of audience you’d want to perform for. Are you more inclined to work with children? Or is a more mature, corporate environment more to your liking? Don’t be concerned now with what is more financially rewarding. The idea is to get you performing at your best because this increases your chances of referrals and repeat bookings.

Once you’ve established your target audience and you’ve created the best show you can for it, you can go out soliciting bookings for your performance. But before you do, it will do you a world of good to have a video presentation of one of your performances (preferably with the target audience of your choice). This is so that as you approach potential clients, you will be able to demonstrate your skills and how your audience responded to your performance. For a prospective client, being given this kind of information is important as it answers their concern of your effectiveness as an entertainer. Once that has been settled, it greatly increases the chances of you getting awarded the project.

After creating your demo video, you will need to look at your calendar to see what times of the year does your target audience hold most of its events that will be needing your services. If you plan to perform for corporate audiences, it will be best to take note of a company’s annual conventions or sales rallies. Also note the organizers who will be planning such events and call to inform them of your services. This initial call is meant to introduce yourself. (Your demo video will be important here.)
