If you're looking for uncommon, interesting things to do during your company's upcoming event, having a hypnotist appear could be just the thing you need. A hypnotist can provide a magical evening that your employees and guests can talk about for weeks after your event. However, finding the right corporate hypnotist could be challenging. How should you go about making that choice?

Check Out Routines

One thing you'll need to do when hiring a hypnotist is check out a few shows. Hypnotists are likely to have a portfolio of video clips on their website for you to look at. You'll get an idea of how easily they hypnotize people and better understand how they engage an audience. Come up with a shortlist of hypnotists you like and have other event organizers check them out before coming up with a few serious finalists.

Ask About Events Like Yours

A corporate hypnotist will do their act at your event, but it's even better when they are familiar with events like yours. They can use the right lingo, make appropriate jokes, and make your guests feel special. 

Ask What They Need

All hypnotists work differently. Some prefer to do their show wandering through the crowd at an event, while others prefer a stage of some kind. Ask what a hypnotist would require of you in order to put on a great show; that way you can work on accommodating those needs before the big night.

You might also find a hypnotist that does their own setup. In that case, you'll need to ask how early they'll need access to the event space. That way, you can get other preparations out of the way so there isn't a conflict.

Ask About Their Backup Plan

Even a corporate hypnotist can become ill and need a backup plan. Every good hypnotist will have a solid emergency plan in place. Many hypnotists might recommend other local hypnotists if there is a problem. It's good to know what their backup plan is so that you can check out the people they would recommend if an emergency happens.

Talk to Past Clients

While many hypnotists have some kind of reviews available, it can often be useful if you can talk to past clients of the hypnotists you're considering. Being able to hear for yourself the enthusiasm they have for a particular hypnotist can give you an idea of how well your own event could go.
