People go to Las Vegas to see a show for a host of different reasons. Maybe they enjoy the nude reviews and various dancers. Perhaps they like to have a few drinks and a few laughs at a good comedy show.

Or, as evidenced by the plethora of hypnosis shows available, they like being amazed by the power of suggestion. If hypnosis is your thing, and you like to wash it down with a splash of uninhibited behavior, then Hypnosis Unleashed will definitely be right up your alley.

Currently, Hypnosis Unleashed is playing at The Cellar at the Tropicana on Las Vegas Boulevard. Ticket prices are around 50 to 70 dollars, and the show starts at 9pm sharp.

Hypnosis Unleashed isn’t your garden variety hypnosis show by any stretch of the imagination. With most shows, you’re urged to conduct yourself as you would on a golf course. You’re supposed to be quiet, pay attention and let the hypnotist work his or her craft. With this show, however, rowdy behavior is actually encouraged.

The show is hosted by one of two of the “bad boys” of hypnosis, Terry Stokes and Michael Johns. The team takes turns hosting on any given night, with each having his particular style and special flair to add to the world of hypnosis.

Both men are able to inject a lot of humor into the show. Johns, particularly, is a gifted comedian, whereas Stokes is the quintessential nut, always acting wild and crazy. Both tend to follow a set routine before recruiting volunteers, however, so the show does have a “staged” feel to it at first. This quickly goes away, though.

Like most hypnotists, Johns and Stokes alert the audience to what’s going on. They tell the truth, which is to be respected, reminding folks that the show is only going to be as good as they audience wants it to be. This simply means that, with willing participation and no hecklers to disrupt, the crowd should be in for a good time.

Although the “bad boys” really do encourage heavy drinking and rude behavior at their shows, they still won’t get overtly risqué with the volunteers. They might make a joke about a volunteer being naked and never really knowing about it, but everyone succumbing to hypnotic suggestion is treated with respect – to a limit.

The only time the crowd is instructed to be silent is when the hypnotists attempt to put the volunteers to sleep with suggestive skills. After asking the volunteers to walk up on stage and keeping the ones they like, the host will then attempt to hypnotize them and the real show immediately begins.

Volunteers are instructed to act out various scenarios, such as being in an adult sex toy store and other wild situations. What really makes the show worthwhile is the improv ability of either host, as he is able to compliment the volunteers’ reaction with some well-timed and witty humor.

As far as hypnosis shows go, Hypnosis Unleashed is a good one to attend if you’re seeking a good time in a fun and uninhibited atmosphere.
