Hypnotist Ian Stewart is bringing his popular comedy hypnosis show back to Mabou.
On Friday, February 20th, the North River resident will be performing at Strathspey Performing Arts Centre at 7:00 p.m.
He is no stranger to the area and has performed there a number of times over the years, for both public and school events.
In his high energy show, Stewart invites audience members on stage to be guided into a state of focused concentration. From there, he unleashes their inner rock star, or perhaps super hero, making them the stars of the show.
“I love bringing this show to communities like Mabou – it’s always a blast seeing locals let loose and have the time of their lives,” says Ian. “Expect non-stop laughs, incredible moments, and memories that last long after the lights come up!”
While the show is only going to highlight his hypnosis talents, Stewart is a renowned juggler and magician. He has appeared on some of the world’s biggest stages and on some of the biggest shows, including America’s Got Talent, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Penn and Teller: Fool Us. He didn’t fool the expert magicians, but he did entertain them.
Stewart has also held over 20 Guinness World Records including, most magic tricks performed in one minute (52), most consecutive under leg chainsaw juggling catches (20) and greatest distance travelled while juggling three chainsaws (50.97m).
Tickets for this evening of family-friendly entertainment (recommended for ages 12 and over) are available now through the Strathspey box office (11156 Highway 19, Mabou) or online at www.strathspeyplace.com.
