Michael Johns and Terry Stokes, opening night July 1 11:00pm at House of Blues.
6 nights a week, dark on Saturday nights. The bad boys of hypnosis, Michael Johns and Terry Stokes, have created a new and hilarious hypnotic event, DIRTY, which also features the House of Blues house band, that provides a live soundtrack to the show. The two master hypnotists provide a raw and razor-sharp adult show with a rock 'n' roll vibe, and the pair promises to change the face of Vegas hypnotist acts forever. Nothing is taboo at DIRTY, so audience members should plan to check their inhibitions at the door for this interactive hypnosis experience. http://shop.vegas.com/shows/showtimes2.j......;lang=en

Well, I am not exactly unbiased as you can tell by my website and partnership with Terry and Michael (www.HypnosisGurus.com) but the show was AWESOME!
It is a great theatre, with a groovy vibe. The band does a warm up, very interactive, with a female band leader. Michael will have to get in the groove of working with a band rather than pre-recorded music and a sound buy, but the band followed his lead well, and Michael seemed to be having fun with them making sound effects. Michael Johns opened, keeping about 11 people of 14 on stage. His induction is long in the stage hypnosis business, but that is good, becasue his subjects were deeply out and the show was alomost 2 hours (opening night fun - usually show is 1:15)... Michael did a couple bits, then introduced Terry Stokes, who then did a couple bits, and then Michael did a few more.... Overally a great edxperience, it was fun to watch Michael and Terry share the stage and the show was great. High energy. As for the name "Dirty" still not my favorite name (it was picked by the producer) and the content was pretty much unchanged from prior theatres. Michael and Terry both are "R" rated but never "X" nor humiliating to the participants... As Michael alwyas says in his pretalk "I want you to have fun. Nobody is going to get up here and have to suck a c***k!" Michael really is good with comedy and rapport building, Terry is the master of hypnotic phenomena. They weill alternate nights, so seeing them together is not the norm.... Overall the show was GREAT and if your in Vegas head on on over to the Mandalay Bay!

Oh, Michael rarely does it, but he did last night, the "sleep boomerang" Awesome bit. Anyone who has seen bit needs to see Michael - MJ does it VERY well...
He has subject imagine Michael throws a "sleep boomerang" that when it comes back will put his right to sleep. Michael does it masterfully, with sound effects and drawing it out... says its so far our he can't see it. Asks the guy if he can and to point at it (which the subject does). Then MJ makes the sound effects of it coming back quickly and he dprops to floor. OUT! The subject just topples. Pretty dramatic and seriously funny....

Ummmmm nothing justifies it, its ADVERTISING COPY! A promo for the show.... and of course, they show IS among th most high profile in the country, at the priemier venue, so it will have an impact, like ANY high profile show.

Come on guys, Terry has been doing hypnosis for more years than many have been breathing who choose to be critical.
My contention is that the more he works, the more he changes hypnosis. Yea it is ad copy, but come on, live bands WERE A STANDARD back in the day so that is not new. So what? It is a new high profile show being done by an exellent entertainer. THAT should change hypnosis for the good in my book. Terry and Michael are premeir performers, lets show a bit of respect, if we can please?

Terry IS incredible to watch. Those who are lucky enough to be in Calgary the next two weeks can see him at the Stampede on the Coca-Cola stage three times a day, then the California State Fair. And those hwo don't know Terry Stokes - You don;t get rebooked at the California State Fair year after year, unless your the BEST in the business....

I wasnt being fecetious. There is just so many hypno shows in Vegas. To the laymen - I wanted to know what set their show apart from the rest.

Im not into the Hypno scene, I don't follow the industry "leaders", I didn't know it was an Ad copy. To make that statement that they will change the face of hypnosis is pretty bold. I jsut wanted to know what is so different about them. that's all. |

I saw Reveen do the sleep boomerang in the early 80s. Its pretty impressive butu not new.
Reveen also did a memory stunt which slowed the show down.. |

Reveen did a great show for its time. The format may or may not work as well now. I learned the giant memory spacifically to open the hypnosis show with, but got away from it because for ME it slowed the pace too much.
