The show

YOUR PEOPLE. YOUR STAGE.
ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

Nobody remembers the speeches. They remember the moment the CFO conducted an invisible orchestra.

Where the show works

ONE SHOW. THREE VERY
DIFFERENT ROOMS.

The format flexes to the room, the run sheet and the audience in it - a conference crowd, a cruise theatre and a 40th birthday each get a different version.

Corporate & gala

THE ONE THING NOBODY SKIPS.

Conferences, awards nights, gala dinners and Christmas parties. Clean, inclusive, brand-safe comedy where your team ends up as the entertainment, and the room finally relaxes.

The bit every booker asks about

NOBODY GETS
HUMILIATED. EVER.

The fastest way to ruin a hypnosis show is to make the volunteers the butt of the joke. Phoenix built the show the other way round - the audience laughs with the people on stage, and every volunteer comes back to their table a legend.

01 - They choose themselves

Volunteers, never victims

Nobody is dragged up. Hands go up, people come forward, and anyone who would rather sit back down can do exactly that at any point in the show.

02 - Clean by design

Safe for the boss and the in-laws

No crude gags, nothing anyone would be uncomfortable seeing a colleague do, and nothing that would land badly in a photo the next morning.

03 - Always in control

Hypnosis isn’t mind control

Volunteers stay aware the whole time and can’t be made to do anything they’d genuinely refuse to do. They’re playing along, brilliantly, and they know it.

“
It is a rare gift to see a showman on the stage who is asking for audience participation without making them look like a fool so he looks better himself.

Testimonial

THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE ROOM

Audiences are easy to please for an hour. The crew are not. They have seen every hypnosis show that comes through, from the wings, twice a night, for years. This is Royal Caribbean’s lead stage and production manager, filmed backstage, on the inductions and on how the show compares to the others they run.

Filmed backstage aboard ship. Watch on YouTube.

A CRITIC WENT IN A SCEPTIC

A named review of Mind Games, from a critic who said up front she did not expect to be convinced.

“I came into Mind Games a skeptic but I left a believer. Sounds dramatic, I know, but it honestly was an eye-opening experience and most importantly, it was hilarious for both the audience and the brave volunteers.”

Good questions

THE DETAIL, MADE CLEAR.

About the show
No. Volunteers put their own hands up, they can return to their seat at any moment, and the comedy is written so the volunteers come off as the heroes of the night. Nothing crude, nothing at anyone’s expense, and nothing that would embarrass someone in front of colleagues or family.
It hasn’t happened yet. The opening of the show is built to warm a room up and make volunteering the fun option rather than the brave one - in a typical show far more people come up than there are chairs on stage.
No. Hypnosis needs the participant’s cooperation. Nobody can be made to do something they would genuinely refuse to do, on stage or in a session, and volunteers stay aware of what’s happening throughout.
Sixty minutes. Phoenix needs a stage or clear performance area, chairs for the volunteers, a microphone, and enough light on the stage that the audience can see faces - that last one matters more than people expect. Full technical requirements are supplied once the booking is confirmed.
Yes. The material is clean, inclusive and brand-safe, and the show is tailored to the room - a conference audience, a gala dinner and a cruise theatre each get a different version.
Constantly. Sydney is home and the shows run all over Australia and internationally, including more than a thousand performances at sea. Travel and logistics are handled as part of the booking.
