Show FAQ
Frequently asked questions about our show and what we do.
Who Are The ‘That Hypno Show’ Team?
That Hypno Show has a regular team of three people. Obviously there is Gerard V, the Hypnotist. Then there is his support crew, Simon Murcott, and others from time to time. Recently Amy , Alex and Mark have been helping out quite a bit. Simon is responsible for sound and lighting, whilst the others are [...]
Would You Do An Outdoor Show?
Yes, we would do an outdoor show, provided the occasion and the outdoor venue was workable. Mostly we need power, and not to ruin a bunch of expensive equipment if it rains, shelter of some kind is required.
Why Do You Have All That Equipment?
We travel with 300 – 400kgs of equipment for our show. We do this because we pride ourselves on presenting a professional stage show. Creating the right atmosphere with sound, music and lighting adds greatly to the effect of the show and the enjoyment of the audience. It is also more fun for us and [...]
How Does Gerard V Compare to “Famous” Overseas Performers?
Many New Zealanders have seen shows by touring overseas hypnotists, and might wonder how Gerard V compares. Simply put, we are better, more original, and neither rude nor mean. We haven’t seen every other hypnotist there is. But of those we have seen, one thing that we’ve noticed is that many are just plain rude. [...]

Smoking is complex because it has chemical addiction, social conditioning and individual habits all combined. If playing a CD (even a very good one) would reliably [...]
What Kind Of Venue Works Best?
We can work with a variety of venues, but generally they need to be private, and have electric power available. Seating is necessary for the volunteers, and given the length of the show, for the audience too. Click here for a bunch of information about venues for our show.
Won’t I Be Self-Conscious If I Come Up On Stage?
No… You will be unconscious. You will also have a great deal of fun!
How Much Does It Cost?
We charge a basic fee for a corporate show for up to 400 people, plus travel and out of pocket expenses if the show is more than 150 kms from Wellington, New Zealand. We do special rates for charities and for club fundraisers. For larger shows we put together a quotation that allows for additional [...]
What About Having A Surprise Show?
Generally, people need a bit of time to get used to the idea before they volunteer to come on stage. If your group is mostly new to being hypnotised then a surprise show is probably not a great idea. However, for the right kind of group a surprise show can work really well. We would [...]
