It's a musical and fast-paced romp through volunteers' subconscious creative genius that keeps audiences on the edges of their seats. Akin to releasing the hidden talents of a dozen comedians onstage with Barnhart as the ringleader, each performance is kept clean and wholly unique.

    Barnhart is one of the very few hypnotism acts that are family-friendly; Don takes the positive aspects of hypnotic trances for a spin, convincing his volunteers to be superstars and fitness models. In an industry dominated by embarrassing and shocking antics, the comedy brought out of our shared hopes and dreams is refreshing and honest.

    Don's twenty years of comedy club experience are evident, as well as his Second City improv skills and his self-improvement hypnotic abilities. Everything comes together in a show that puts the audience on center stage, inhibitions gone, ready to perform like they never have before. Skeptics are encouraged to attend.

    Before anyone comes on stage to be hypnotized, Barnhart opens the show with his hilarious comedy material putting the audience at ease and proving why Don has been a favorite headliner at the top comedy clubs for years. He then demonstrates that almost anyone can be hypnotized by involving the entire audience in the untapped power of the mind by getting them to respond to suggestions in unison. Afterwards, Don invites the audience on stage to share the spotlight and have some fun. "It's all good clean fun that turns the audience members into stars," Barnhart enthuses. "I never embarrass anyone or try to bring out his or her dark secrets. I put on a show that empowers the audience allowing them to tap into their talents and dreams, and experience the excitement of living them out." The show is family friendly. From 18-80, you're sure to have a great time."
