<title>Nice Comments From an Improv Workshop For Medical Professionals</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P133</link>
<description>&#45;          James was so funny I could listen to him all day.

&#45;          I think that we should bring back James next year.

&#45;          Comedy with James —This was quite humorous and helped ease the tension of the rest of the day.  

&#45;          James was funny and his section offered a great break to our day. I enjoyed watching him and he made me laugh. I would definitely love to see him again.

&#45;            This was just nice entertainment. A chance to relax and have fun...</description>

<title>If You&apos;re Happy And You Know It, Write A Testimonial!</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P132</link>
<description>Here&apos;s a testimonial that one of my agents received recently from a client they had booked me with:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Rusty was terrific! The feedback I&apos;ve received has been overwhelmingly positive. He hurt a lot of stomachs and cheeks from laughing so hard. Some people want us to bring him back every year and I had another say she&apos;d go to Denver and see him again.
Stellar choice. Thank you SOOOOO much and tell Rusty the same.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

If the performer you chose meets or exceeds...</description>

<title>Company Party Comedy Hypnosis? Not Just Fun And Games!</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P131</link>
<description>So, you&apos;re thinking of taking the leap to hire a comedy hypnotist for your company party. Believe me, when you&apos;ve booked the right hypnotic enterainer (someone who&apos;s a good hypnotist &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; comedian), your group will have a fun time. But what are the hidden benefits to bringing a stage hypnosis show to your soiree? 

There are more than one. Team building and company loyalty from sharing the moment are two benefits most party organizers don&apos;t think about. But the...</description>

<title>Are There Videos Of Rusty Z&apos;s Hypnosis Show On YouTube?</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P129</link>
<description>No, not really. My demo reel (the same video that&apos;s on my website) is on youtube but not clips from individual shows.

Why not? Because, even though it&apos;s legal to post clips from public shows of people doing crazy things under hypnosis, I think, without getting written releases from everyone on stage, it&apos;s not respectful. 

I&apos;ve seen so many uploads on youtube from hypnotists of people making love to chairs (something that won&apos;t happen in my show) or whatever, and I&apos;m sure some of...</description>

<title>Costume, An Important Part of the Entertainment Total</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P128</link>
<description>Lately I’ve seen too many performers who don’t realize that costume is an important piece of the entertainment total. Audiences expect entertainers to look like entertainers and it’s the performer’s duty to please their audience. It&apos;s &lt;i&gt;never&lt;/i&gt; casual Friday on stage.

By costume, I don’t necessarily mean anything elaborate or flamboyant, I mean clothing that sets the entertainer apart from the audience. 

A costume can be something as simple as Steve Martin’s trademark...</description>

<title>Doesn&apos;t Your Company Deserve a Customized&#45;Comedy Show?</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P126</link>
<description>I was recently watching a series of training DVDs by someone who teaches a stage hypnosis course and was struck by one thing in particular. He said that he doesn’t customize his shows. 

He said that he’s tried to, but the shows weren’t very successful. So now he just pretty much does the same generic show for each individual group. And, he pretty much recommends his stage hypnosis students to do the same.

Personally, I think that’s cheating the customer.

Sure, a lot of custom...</description>

<title>Winning Friends and Influencing People With Humor and Hypnosis</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P125</link>
<description>Influencing someone with covert or not&#45;so&#45;covert hypnotic techniques is a subject covered elsewhere in this book.  But how does one quickly build the rapport necessary to win friends and influence?

I’m lucky. I was a stand&#45;up comic for years before I became a stage hypnotist and hypnotherapist. I had worked with and had the opportunity to watch a few stage hypnotists during my comedy club days and I noticed a commonality that most of them shared; they weren’t funny. Sure, their shows...</description>

<title>The Care and Feeding of Your Entertainers</title>
<link>http://zingproductions.com/pmachine/weblog.php?id=P124</link>
<description>Most of the time I am invited to eat dinner with the party guests and I appreciate the invitations. But I rarely accept nor do most other entertainers I know.

Were not being rude, and under most other circumstances we’d love to join you for dinner. Just not before a show.

Why not? Just speaking for myself, I’m just not hungry. 

I’ve talked to several other entertainers and most agree that they don’t like to eat right before a show. Eating right before a show takes away the “edge”...</description>
