Three kinds of surprise, combined in one stage show. John Taylor brings visual magic, mind-reading entertainment and comedy hypnosis together, with guests and their choices helping shape the performance.
The combined show
Visual magic catches the eye. Mentalism builds anticipation through thoughts, choices and predictions. Hypnosis brings willing volunteers into imaginative situations where their own reactions create the comedy. John connects them through his understated humour and rapport with the room.
The hypno-mentalist show is a combined performance, alongside John’s individual comedy magic, mentalist and comedy hypnosis shows. Discuss the mix and running order with John so it suits the audience, venue and occasion.
Participation is voluntary. Hypnosis volunteers are adults aged 18 and over, and guests of all ages can enjoy watching. John plans the stage, sound and volunteer seating with the venue before the performance.

Questions before you enquire.
What is a hypno-mentalist show?
John Taylor combines comedy magic, mind-reading entertainment and comedy hypnosis in one stage performance. The mix and running order are discussed around the audience, venue and event.
How does this differ from the comedy hypnosis show?
John’s comedy hypnosis show focuses purely on hypnosis and comedy, with no magic or mentalism effects. The hypno-mentalist show combines comedy magic, mentalism and hypnosis in one performance.
Does everyone have to take part?
No. Taking part is voluntary, and hypnosis volunteers must be aged 18 or over. Guests who prefer to watch can enjoy the performance from their seats.
How long does the show run?
Cruise theatre programmes run for 45 minutes. Corporate and other event running times are agreed to suit the programme, audience and venue.
Can the show work without theatre video screens?
Yes. The show is planned around the venue; theatre screens shown in the photographs are part of those particular productions. Ask John to confirm the stage, seating, sound and lighting needed for your event.
Share the occasion, venue, guest numbers and preferred date. John will discuss the show, running time, availability and practical arrangements with you.
