🎓 Interested in Learning Hypnosis?

The Federation of Ethical Stage Hypnotists (FESH) does not provide training in hypnosis and unfortunately cannot offer guidance on specific courses.

However, if you're keen to learn the art of hypnosis, here are some essential points to consider:

​

​

📘 Foundations First

​

• Begin with a solid understanding of theory and practical techniques of hypnosis.

• Many hypnotherapy schools in the UK and worldwide offer comprehensive training—this can be a good starting point.

• Stage hypnosis, however, is a distinct discipline and also demands:

  • Showmanship

  • Theatrical experience

  • Stage presence and audience management

 

⚖️ Know the Law

​

If you intend to perform stage hypnosis in the UK, it's crucial that you understand and comply with:

• The Hypnotism Act 1952

• The Home Office Guidelines on stage hypnosis

These set out the legal and ethical framework for public performances involving hypnotism.

 

📚 Self-Education & Growth

​

• Read widely on hypnosis, performance arts, and theatre.

• Attend seminars, workshops, and global training events when possible.

• Continue to build your knowledge and skills through diligent study and practice.

 

While FESH doesn’t train hypnotists, we encourage aspiring performers to build a strong, ethical foundation. When you're ready, consider joining as an Associate Member to start connecting with professionals in the field.
