Master Comedic Hypnotist James Kellogg will be featured on the community stage all week long for your interactive viewing pleasure! America’s funniest Hypnotist helps audience members find their inner-Superstars in his delightful Comedy Hypnosis show. The sixty minute show is a fast-paced blend of comedy, music, and audience antics. You will laugh hysterically as James takes audience volunteers on a guided tour through their imaginations with HILARIOUS results! This show takes entertainment to a whole new level! Laughter, surprise, excitement, and thrills are just a few of the consequences when the science of hypnosis meets the art of theatre. Each show is unique when James turns audience members into celebrities right before your eyes! You will be amazed at the unbelievable hidden talent your spouse, friends, or coworkers will demonstrate when under hypnosis. All of their inhibitions are gone and they have the time of their lives!
These volunteers will experience a range of emotions and you can never tell what might happen when this lively entertainer takes the stage. His style is high energy, clean, and refreshing without embarrassment or profanity. The audience volunteers are always respected because they are the stars of the show! When awoken, they will feel like they just came back from a long vacation or slept better than they can remember. They wake refreshed and feeling great! Even the hardcore skeptics will walk away from this show believing the impossible and be thoroughly convinced. Other featured acts at this year’s State Fair include DockDogs in Bowser Park, and in the Family Zone, the West Coast Lumberjack Show, the Half Pint Stage, and Kids Pedal Tractor Pulls.
