Hypnotist Performs to Raise Funds
Mardela High School
On May 19, the Prom Committee at Mardela Middle and High School will present a unique comedy experience to local audiences. The school will once again feature Jason Linett, a nationally-known comedy hypnotist, who will present one show as a fundraiser at 7 p.m. May 19. (This show has been rescheduled from March 4.) This is Linett's second time working with the school to raise funds. “The hypnosis show combines the fun of audience participation with the incredible abilities of the mind,” says Linett, who lives in Alexandria, Va. “It’s the ultimate reality show.”
Audiences can expect to see willing volunteers rapidly induced into a hypnotic trance and then given funny suggestions. Jason added, “I don’t embarrass the volunteers, and I don’t even let them embarrass themselves.” Some of Linett’s favorite suggestions during the show include turning himself invisible and turning volunteers into celebrity impersonators. Linett has performed at schools, comedy venues, and corporate events across the country. “Fundraising events are always my favorite,” says Linett. “There’s no better feeling than putting on a show that a school can be proud to present, and helping students raise the funds for a great cause.”
Jason Linett is a Certified Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, the largest hypnotherapy organization in the world. He is the director of Virginia Hypnosis, a hypnotherapy center in Old Town Alexandria, and is also the author of nearly a dozen self-help audio hypnosis programs.

Joe, I know there's been talk in the past about the so-called "balanced" lunches served in schooll to our kids.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to bring something to your attention.
Just this morning, I drove by Beaver Run Elementary and out in front on their announcement board they have listed a "McDonalds Day".
Isn't this rather contradictory to what the schools are preaching?
My jaw dropped when I saw that!
I am looking forward to the hot and weather and Bikini ccar washes...
