recording artist. The pavilion was packed and our patrons loved it! It
really kept the audiences intrigued and kept them coming back for more.
Alan got the audience involved which allowed them to have a wonderful time
at our fair. Alan entertained with shows daily that were family oriented and
great for all ages. He was a wonderful addition to our 1998 & 1999 fair...".

professional. We are now being asked ahead of time, 'Is the SandMan

I recommend him highly ".

". . . how delighted we all were with Alan Sands' entertainment for our
employee cruise party... We couldn't have been more pleased.
Alan is both talented and professional. He arrived early and was
completely set up and ready before we ever set sail. He has a real knack
for setting up marvelously funny situations involving our employees while
treating them with respect. His clear explanation of hypnotism helped us
appreciate what was happening, so we even learned something as we were
entertained.
Everyone is still chuckling! Alan was truly the highlight of the party
and we certainly would have him again . . ."

"... As you can probably tell from the tremendous amount of laughter, the

I have been doing Post Prom Parties and Grad Night Parties since before I became a hypnotist. It is a major part of my touring schedule every March through June. I have done shows for high schools in IA, OK, SD, NE, NY, CA, TX, MS and a few more I am sure I am forgetting. I consistently do between 20-30 safe & sober parties each year. Some buy my entire package of SPLAT! Inflatable Games, Casino Games & a show. Others only hire me for my hypnosis show.
"The feedback that I heard from kids was all very positive! They totally enjoyed the show (especially when you had some male painting his toenails...that's one I heard about from several different kids).
I also heard that 'he definitely liked our school better and had way more fun with us because we are so much more fun'...ah, to be a teenager with a teenager's perspective :)..."
Denise Barnett
2010 Menlo-Atherton High School Grad Night
"You did an amazing job. My son. was a bit doubtful (about hiring you) ... and being a snotty teen at times .. (he) said, 'I don't think that will be fun..' Surprise!! First thing this morning, despite being exhausted.. I said, "So.. did you have fun?"
He said you, "The hypnotist was hysterical!!" ... and that was the best thing of the whole night ... so funny!!
Thanks so much for a great night!!"
