‘It’s karaoke for the mind’ – the lighter side of hypnotism

Grant, who has performed all over the world, said: “It’s all about having fun and making people laugh.”

He has been performing for around 15 years and believes that hypnotism can have amazing health benefits, both mentally and physically.

Grant said: “It’s karaoke for the mind. You can do anything that your mind tells you and I want to help people to overcome and worries or struggles that they may have.

“Some people do think that it is about making people do degrading things or something that is against their values or morals, but it isn’t. It is a comedy show where everyone has fun and no one is degraded.

“You can have a laugh, but you can do so without it being at other people’s expense.”
