Marc Savard Comedy Hypnosis by Sarah Jane Woodall
Marc Savard Comedy Hypnosis – Pushing The Edge – The Vegas Strip offers a handful of comedy hypnosis shows, and for the most part, they all follow the same script: pull willing participants from the audience, hypnotize them into a highly suggestive state, and make them do embarrassing things û often of a sexual nature. Marc SavardÆs show at the V Theatre is one of the better-quality hypnosis shows in Vegas û the theater and special effects are of a higher caliber than most, and Savard himself has a friendly, wholesome appeal that makes the show fun… without being too seedy.
