School Fundraisers
With federal and state governments stretched to their limits, many schools have to find their own funding for important programs - especially smaller programs. While the big programs get a lion's share of the budget money, smaller programs are being scaled back or eliminated altogether. Administrators and teachers must to find creative new ways to find funding to keep these programs alive and at the level they wish.

One way to raise money is through fundraisers. There are many different types of fundraisers, from selling candy bars to car washes. Another way is to host a show that benefits your program. Many performers see this as an excellent way to polish their act, try out new material or just enjoy giving back to the community. Often, there is very little expense for the school itself, often just printing flyers and/or posters and tickets for the event. The end result, less expenses for the school means more money for your programs.

But how do you attract performers to your school? How can you save even more money on expenses? What are other ways to make money during the event? Click Read More to find out.

Only Weak-willed People can be Hypnotized - Actually, we all slip in and out of hypnotic trance all the time. It has nothing to do with intelligence or will, in fact, some of the most intelligent people make the best subjects because of their imagination.

You Can Get Stuck in a Hypnotic Trance - You cannot get stuck in a hypnotic trance. As I mentioned above, we slip in and out of hypnotic trance all the time. And if the person is truly in a hypnotic trance, he or she can instantly be awakened by the hypnotist.

When Hypnotized, the Hypnotist has Complete Control Over You - Hypnotism is a cooperative effort between the hypnotist and the subject. At no time can the hypnotist make a hypnotized person do something against their nature.

If You Can Hear the Hypnotist, You Weren't Hypnotized - Many people equate hypnotism with sleep. Although the states are similiar, hypnotism is actually a state of heightened awareness. Many times, subjects will remember that their sense of hearing was actually MORE sensitive than normal.


Imagine the anticipation of seeing hypnotist John Raven. As you think about the act, you wonder... Who will he hypnotize? Will it be someone I know? Will it be me? What will he make them do?

The time comes and John Raven first gets the audience to do a few tests so he can pick out the very best subjects. Then, he brings the subjects on stage and the real fun starts. First, their hands stick together, then their eyes... what's next?

You'll laugh until you cry as he goes from one skit to another, each one funnier than the one before. One moment, the subjects are in a boat, next their in a race car... maybe even on the moon. Watch their hilarious reactions as John literally changes reality around them. Below are a few of the many benefits of our hypnosis shows. Don't settle for less!

Hilarious - our shows are fun for both the participant and the audience. Our skits are designed to bring you to tears, as we have the volunteers going on all sorts of fantastic journeys in their minds.

Clean - unlike many hypnotists, we use only good, clean humor. It's the type of show you wouldn't be afraid to invite your kids or mother to, but you'll still laugh your head off.

Professional - we have pain-stakingly designed our shows and skits to be of the highest level. With our deluxe shows, we incorporate music, lights and even fog machines for a truly professional, stage experience.

Training - trained in Las Vegas, the capital of Hypnotism and Magic, John continues to learn new techniques and new skits to make your event the most exciting ever.
