UP-AND-COMING hypnotist David Days begins his latest tour in Weymouth this month, having practised the art of hypnosis for more than two decades and becoming a master of the art.

David will perform at series of theatres next year and is beginning with a one-off show at Weymouth Pavilion.

“I cannot think of a better way to start the theatre tour than by performing in the very place I was once inspired by hypnosis,” said David, who is based in Weymouth.

“Hopefully this show will inspire others to also follow their dreams and ambitions, because anything is possible when you put your heart and soul into it. All the hard work and dedication has paid off and I can’t wait to perform this show in my home town of Weymouth.”

Performing to sell-out crowds in a variety of venues all over the country has enabled David’s popularity to grow enormously over the past couple of years. The current ‘hypnotist laughter show’ appeals to every type of individual, regardless of age.

David says his interest in hypnosis first began when he was just 14, when he witnessed Hugh Lennon’s hypnotist show at Weymouth Pavilion.

It has been his passion and ambition ever since to perform in theatres doing his very own hypnotist show and he has put everything in to perfecting his ability to hypnotise individuals and create fun shows.

The highlight of his career to date came when he hypnotised Duncan James and Simon Webb, from the boyband Blue on ITV’s Ministry of Mayhem.

The Weymouth show is at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday, August 13 and also features psychological illusionist Martin Rees, who will be performing a range of mind-blowing and spooky illusions.
