| As a professional stage
hypnotist with 23 years of experience and when I am on my way to a
performance I
think all I have to do is get "in the zone" to
put on a good show. I know what I need to do and I know how to do it, but I first have to get into the mood. I call
it a matter of my feelings catching up with my feet. If I'm not inspired, I'm mechanical, not creative. But put
me on stage and I am immediately in the zone. Actually, I'm in the zone
the moment I walk into the venue. It is the anticipation of what is
going to happen. After all these years, you'd think I would be slightly jaded or
complacent, that I'd be thinking the show will be the same because in the thousands of shows I have performed, I'd seen
it all. But it doesn't work that way for me. Each time I perform, there is something new for me; a new
audience with a new enthusiasm and new volunteers, all with their own interpretation of the routines. And
because of this, every show is different and I am seeing that show for the first time, right along with the audience.
At that moment, night after night after night; I
love to be there! |
