CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“After the huge success of last year’s show and the distance involved in getting Kevin and Jenny here to our Mine site in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia, we decided that this time 5 days would be much more Fun and we were not disappointed. Kevin’s Stage Shows are Hilarious and are even more entertaining when you know the “volunteers” in their normal state. It’s all good, clean fun and a very good “Laugh ’til it hurts” show. During the day Kevin held sessions for us which were well received on Self Hypnosis techniques for exercise, motivation, diet and to stop-smoking etc. We look forward to getting Kevin and Jenny back next year and would recommend any other Mine thinking about having a Show with a difference to do it, as you will be impressed.”

“I was so nervous after booking The Hypnotist as I was worried my 210 guests wouldn’t enjoy it or wouldn’t volunteer to participate. After being genuinely assured by Jenny I was more confident but nothing could have prepared me for the response from my guests. Not only did the 12 volunteers rush up on stage as promised but I can honestly say I have never heard more laughter ever. The professionalism by Kevin & Jenny is nothing short than brilliant and the audience clambered for the best view. The only complaint I received was people complaining the following day they had a sore jaw from laughing. I promise, I woke up laughing and weeks later everyone is still talking about it and we are still laughing when recalling the evening. A great event depends on great entertainment and even though our next function isn’t for another 2 years, my major sponsor for the dinner have already guaranteed to sponsor the 2012 event as they said the whole night, especially the entertainment was the best they had ever witnessed. My only problem is how will I do better in 2012. Well done to Kevin & Jenny who are a pleasure to work with.”

-Kersten Gentle, Executive Officer, FTMA Australia


“It is my pleasure to say with confidence that Australia Post made every effort to deliver a special night to celebrate the achievements of our licensees. The exceptional venue at the Langham Hotel needed to have entertainment to match and Kevin Grisé certainly provided us with that. The idea of a hypnotist momentarily concerned some people, bearing in mind it was a corporate event, but right from the start Kevin made the audience at ease, with the insistence that the performance would be carried out with class and integrity. It provided all with light hearted entertainment and some little hypnosis tricks we could take away for ourselves. I can still hear the loud boisterous laughter from the table next to me ringing in my ears. Since the big night, I have only received positive feedback and would recommend to anyone for any event, that this is an amazing form of entertainment that will leave you amazed and awestruck .”

-Jo Culley, Australia Post


“Wow! We wanted something totally different to entertain our guests at our Gala Ball this year and we certainly got just that! Your show was unique, lively and very funny! Guests were spellbound by the performance and some are still scratching their heads wondering how you got those volunteers from the audience to respond to you, by merely snapping your fingers. Thank you for providing a wonderful highlight to our evening – it was lighthearted fun, clean and very refreshing entertainment. We definitely look forward to booking you again for another event in the near future.”

-Gloria Krope, Consultant – Special Events, Epworth Medical Foundation


Thank you for a fabulous hypnotism show last Friday night at Crown Towers in Melbourne. My client, Sensis and specifically the White Pages sales team absolutely loved the show which added to the event’s success. As I expected, Kevin performed with great enthusiasm and showmanship and kept the complete attention of every one of the ‘volunteers’ as well as the audience. Both Kevin Grisé and Jenny Kanter displayed complete professionalism and were a pleasure to work with… I look forward to next time.”

-Fiona Styles, Broad Marketing Event Managers (for Sensis – White Pages)


Kevin is outstanding! He had a challenging audience to start off with and he brought them to a place where they were absolutely enthralled. He has a commanding presence with the audience and his subjects. He is always in control of the situation and is totally acknowledging and respectful of the volunteers, who literally ‘race to be on stage’. Kevin is an absolute favorite with NESA, we know Kevin will provide the ‘wow’ factor. The enjoyment factor is enormous which is demonstrated by the almost continuous laughter from the audience. We couldn’t recommend Kevin more highly. And he does so much for us because our attendees think our dinner entertainment is ‘the best’. Our numbers for this conference were totally ‘blown out of the water’. We hoped for 400 and finished up with 702! The feedback has been ‘a fantastic night – I was determined to experience the hypnotist!’.”

-Carole Gregson, NESA National Employment Services Association, Practitioners Conference, Melbourne


“Kevin’s performance was fascinating, inspiring and highly entertaining. Our VIP guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance and many are still talking about the show several weeks on. Although there were a few sceptics in the audience to begin with, Kevin’s introductory spiel and enthusiastic delivery easily won them over and the entire gathering was howling with laughter soon afterward. I’ve spoken to several of the participants since and all of them are amazed at the feeling of calm and control that they experienced in hypnosis, with some of them even expressing interest in therapeutic hypnosis. Kevin and Jenny were both extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend the act for any function that requires interactive entertainment with a ‘Wow’ factor.”

-Amanda Dalton, VIP Services Co-ordinator, Skycity Casino Adelaide


“Kevin and his amazing assistant Jenny were the perfect show to begin our conference. Kevin’s ability to have such fun, in a safe, non-humiliating manner, is a credit to him. I was firstly amazed, that my wife was one of the volunteers and then secondly what Kevin had her doing. Immediately after the show I asked each of the nine volunteers their thoughts on the performance and every one of them loved it and would gladly do it again. On a personal note, the professionalism prior to the show, with contact and follow up, plus on the day is a credit to both Kevin and Jenny. In six years of conducting our annual conference, they are the most professional speakers / entertainers that we have had. I would highly recommend them to everyone. The only downside is a comment made by many franchisees and staff, “Wow, after that, what can you do next year to top that? Thank you to you both for such a great evening. Franchisees, subjects and audience are still talking about it.”

“We had Kevin perform at our work function and even though I had organised for him to perform, I had no idea what to expect. I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard at what some of my friends and colleagues were doing. I felt like I kept needing a reality check to tell myself that they were doing the things they were doing! It was really great entertainment and it was amazing to hear people saying afterwards that they didn’t feel hypnotised, but were really feeling the extreme actions Kevin suggested they feel, such as cooling themselves off when Kevin suggested they were ‘hot’, because they said that they really felt hot! I’d say that they were definitely hypnotised!! It was a great night and enjoyed by all.”

-Kelly Israel, Senior Accountant, Nexia ASR Chartered Accountants


“To celebrate our annual awards night this year I was given the task of investigating a form of entertainment which will give our employees long lasting memories of the night. Hence for something different to a typical awards ceremony we used Jenny and Kevin’s assistance in an amazing, mystical and above most entertaining Hypnotist show. Jenny and Kevin went to every effort to personalise the event all with no fuss and an outcome which had our staff in a rave. On a personal level I would also like to give my biggest thanks for making this task quite a simple one for me. This was really the first time I had organised anything to this magnitude and the process from our original phone call, all the way to the performance and meeting and greeting with the BigPond hierarchy, I simply couldn’t give you any bigger wraps. It was tops! I strongly recommend ‘The Hypnotist’ as your function will be better for the experience. A+++.”

-Tony Brown, Employee Engagement Lead, BigPond Online Adelaide


“Many thanks to Kevin and Jenny for their hugely entertaining show at our national conference in Cairns. Our delegates were swept up in the energetic performance from beginning to end, and doubts over the power of hypnosis were washed away in minutes. I can highly recommend this thoroughly enjoyable and highly interactive demonstration, and hope to enjoy it again.”

-Brendan Hill, Chief Information Officer, Jims Group Pty Ltd


“I had been given the gracious task of organising an awards night for my manager and was given the great idea of having a hypnotist as entertainment. I searched and found Kevin Grise. As I read more about him, I thought he would be perfect for the night and I was right!!! He made the evening funny, special and memorable. I was actually one of the lucky people to be hypnotised and he made me and a few of my colleagues the stars of the night. I have been getting nothing but compliments and if you are looking for a unique night that will be remembered forever, you need to have Kevin there. I would have no hesitation in booking him again for future events as he leaves nothing, but fond memories.”

– Tania Marinucci, Sales Support Executive, Optus


Thank you for a great show. Kevin is a true professional. The inclusion of your show largely contributed to the success of our National Roadshow. The feedback from both the audience and participants clearly indicated Kevin did a wonderful job at introducing them to the world of hypnotism (as well as getting alot of laughs along the way!). It was really great working with Kevin and Jenny. We had a blast doing the shows. Both Kevin and Jenny are so easy to get along with… believe me, we had previous ‘Celeb’ guests and that was a MUCH different experience. So thanks for being so down to earth!! It will be extremely hard for us to source an act that supersedes Kevin’s for our next event!!”

-Cindy Steele, Account Executive – Telstra Consumer & Marketing, Telstra/Australia Post Roadshow


“Thank you so much for entertaining our audience at the Step Into Life Victoria Celebration Ball! Our night was a smashing success with people raving about your show. It was highly entertaining, fascinating and enthralling, not to mention loads of laughs. We will be talking about it for a long time to come. Your show was a major part in our evening being such a great success. Thank you once again!”

– Cathy Stacey, Director, Step Into Life Victoria, Group Outdoor Personal Training


“Thank you Jenny and Kevin for your involvement in the 10th annual Laing + Simmons Convention. The show was the perfect start to our weekend. It was funny (at times hysterical), it broke the ice amongst those who didn’t know each other and most importantly was appropriate for a corporate crowd and didn’t embarrass any of the participants. The self-hypnosis presentation the next day was also perfect. I don’t think there is any way we would have all stayed awake through the afternoon without having our guided self-hypnosis. Some of my staff are practising on themselves every day with great success. Thanks again, you were both extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I would be more than happy for any potential clients to call me to confirm this testimonial.”

-Leanne Pilkington, General Manager, Laing + Simmons Corporation


“On behalf of the co-founders, staff and employees of Liberty League International, I wish to thank you for the splendid job you did with your presentation at our Liberty Conference in Hawaii. Your presentation was very entertaining and “corporate friendly”. This presentation fit perfectly into our “Beyond Freedom” philosophy, making it a unique experience for all involved. We have received only positive comments on your Show and Seminar. Once again, thank you for coming all the way to Hawaii to help make our Liberty Conference so successful.”

-Tony Thomas, Chief Operating Officer, Liberty League International, Arizona, USA


“When you work on a small minesite, in a remote region of the West Kimberley in Western Australia, entertainment for employees can sometimes be a little hit and miss. Kevin was definitely a huge hit and the show was an outstanding success! Since the show, employees have not stopped asking when will Kevin be coming back again. There was an element of “fear of the unknown” in some of the volunteers, but they soon learnt that Kevin would treat them all with nothing but respect and dignity, while also providing the crowd with fantastic entertainment. All at the show had great fun, including the volunteers, and weeks later, people are still reliving and enjoying the night. Thanks Kevin and Jenny for taking the time to travel great distances and visit our small minesite, providing us with hilarious entertainment. Also a huge thank you for taking the time after the show, to talk to those who were curious about what they had just seen. We all had a fantastic night and I can’t wait for the next show!”.

-Danni Turley, Secretary, Ellendale Social Klub inc., Kimberley Diamond Company, Western Australia
