“You never know what is going to happen” – Chris Jones

I had never really seen a good hypnotist before. When I watched today’ guest do his audition for America’s Got Talent, I was blown away!

Chris Jones hypnotized Howie Mandel, a known germaphobe who will not shake hands, into shaking hands with him and the other judges…it was amazing (and you should definitely watch the clip below)!

Hypnosis can be used for anything from quitting smoking and drinking, to helping you sleep when you fly. Additionally, Chris has his own special brand of comedy hypnosis, and he is a huge hit at colleges and high schools around the country, performing 150 shows each year and driving 50,000 miles!

This episode will get into how hypnosis works, and how you can learn it, as well as Chris’ travel, relationship, and live performance tips.

If you are curious at all about hypnosis, or you want to be at your best when you are in front of an audience, this is the episode for you!
