I attended Jim Kellner’s “Launch Your Hypnosis Career Now!” class. He provided concrete real-world suggestions, many of which I implemented right away. I gained a surprising amount of social media followers by just following 1 of the many tips he gave, as soon as I walked out of his lecture. It was so effective and instantaneous. I’ll be listening to the class recording on YouTube because the information was simply that valuable.

Thank you so much for this. It’s always nice to know when you’ve made an impact, especially when it happens so quickly.
I’m humbled 🙏🏼
Jim was the highlight of our Senior Class Party! He was fun, funny, and kept the kids engaged in the show, even at 3:00 am. He was available for questions, even during the uncertainties of covid. We'll hire Jim again and again for our senior parties!!

Jim Kellner did an unbelievable job at our office holiday party. First, leading up to the event, he was an amazing communicator, quick to respond to requests and confidence inspiring. At the event, he was the perfect combination of professional and engaging with great humor! He was able to encourage volunteers and build trust for success. We were a smalll party of 22 people and he unified our group! I would highly recommend him!

Thanks so much Eli!
We had Jim come to preform at our summer camp 3 times throughout the summer and each show was so great! He’s so nice and easy to work with, very accommodating. He did a great job putting on an amazing show that kids from ages 6-20 all loved. I recommend him for any age group!

Thank you so much Tayla! You all were so fun to perform for.
I watched from the audience and loved his show ! He comes up with the funniest scenarios and it’s fun to see the people that are hypnotized react to the certain scenarios that they are in. It’s insane to see a group of people all do the exact same stuff at the exact same time. Personally I would never go to a hypnotist show but after this one I will definitely be going to more!

We had a group of about 25 for our audience for a graduation party. Jim was so great with the kids. He talked a lot with them before and after the show. During the show, we were all in tears laughing. it was so much fun. Great night Jim and thank you so much.

Jim spoke for our team here at Evergreen Housing Network (A Real Estate company). The entire team loved the talk about overcoming "self-doubt", and provided very specific & actionable ways to overcome it, while also making the talk engaging.

Thank you, Vernie! You have a great team and I was glad to see so much engagement from them.
Jim is a very talented hypnotist and entertainer; however, he is also a person who lives from his heart. He was very helpful in encouraging and coaching me to step outside my comfort zone. In a very short time, I trusted Jim and followed his direction to do something I had never done before - I am so glad I trusted Jim.

Thank you, Dawn!
Jim’s hypnotist show at the Grand Canyon University’s TEDx event was phenomenal. His interactive presentation was at times hysterical with the crowd roaring with laughter, and at others times it was shocking and even motivational. My family and I enjoyed every minute of it and also have a better understanding of the power of hypnosis. I am looking forward to seeing him perform again.

Thank you, Rachael!
This was my first ever Hypnosis show do I wasn't sure what to expect but I was super impressed by the way Jim handled the audience and volunteers, especially the kind way he handled the volunteers, and he had a way of making the show extremely hilarious while still making the volunteers very comfortable. It kind of made me want to be hypnotized on stage next time! Thanks for a great evening!

I really enjoyed Jim Kellner's presentation at HypnoBiz New York!! Jim is so humorous that he kept us laughing while learning, and I appreciate that he modified and adapted his presentation based on the questions of his audience. He also provided us with great information and resources!!!

I just saw this - thanks so much, Jennifer!
Jim is one of those gifted speakers, who know how to keep an audience engaged, entertained and hungry for more. I attended two talks he presented - How to launch your hypnosis business and Stage hypnosis. Both times he gave a wealth of very practical information and presented it in a humorous, relatable and confident manner. He is a true professional - he quickly builds rapport with an audience and delivers quality information, which can be easily and immediately applied. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a professional and entertaining speaker.

I went to see Jim's show and ended up on stage hypnitized! I had a wonderful experience. Jim's caring to help others make positive changes shines through his performance...And he's hilarious!

Thanks so much!
I'm here to COMPLAIN about Jim Kellner's Comedy Hypnosis show. That's right complain! There I was sitting with my food and drink and I couldn't enjoy them because every single time I took a bite, something hilarious happened, or was said, and I choked on my food. I laughed so hard that by the end of the night half my food was still sitting there uneaten. At one point I was afraid to take a drink because I just knew that in the next few seconds I would be unable to swallow and the poor person sitting in front of me would be wearing my drink. Don't try to eat during this show. Not if you have any kind of a sense of humor, because you can't eat and laugh at the same time. At least I couldn't. I'm still grinning today.

Haha Thanks so much G. Ray! I'm glad you had a good time. I guess next time you'll have to eat before or after the show :).
I have known Jim from my time using hypnosis for weightloss but never got the opportunity to see one of his comedy show until recently. I enjoyed the show so much that I wished it didn't end. Cannot wait to see it again; his show is a must! And Damn he's pretty!!

What to Expect
COMEDY HYPNOSIS SHOW: Jim Kellner's Mental Magic Comedy hypnosis show is an interactive experience where the true stars of the show are your guests! A hypnosis show is an incredibly interesting exploration of the power of the mind and a hilarious experience for everyone involved. Volunteers from the audience are hypnotized and then compelled to perform funny skits like singing, dancing, and more.
Family-friendly, corporate clean, or just a little bit naughty - it's all up to you. Comedy hypnosis shows are especially popular for high school grad nights, corporate party's, and non-profit events. Jim has even worked with kids at elementary school and residents of assisted living facilities.
MURDER MYSTERY: These are the most interactive of the events we offer. They also require the largest budget as we only hire professional actors and each event can require multiple actors. These are often performed during dinner service and can last anywhere from 2-3 hours unless a much shorter show is requested.
Guests arrive and are questioned by a detective who is investigating a murder. During dinner, several other events/murders occur and guests are deputized and investigated as perpetrators and/or accomplices. You'll be amazed at the stuff your guests come up with and the hilarity is non-stop.
While these are often performed for larger groups of 100-300 guests, we can do smaller events as well with just one or 2 actors.
