Cheers from Big White

Gavin Hooper has done two shows for us at Globe restaurant at Big White, one for our staff and one for our customers. On both occasions he was great to work with, professional, responsive and attentive to details. The shows were really well received on both occasions, bringing intrigue, laughter and just good old fashioned comedy fun to an engaged and enthusiastically reassured crowd,  for which we had no problems getting volunteers to come forward! Loved dealing with him and would happily do so again!

River City Ford

Gavin Hooper came to the River City Ford Christmas party and was the hit of the night! The show was a huge success and everyone had a great time. There have been talks of having him come back next year. Thank you Gavin!

“The show was awesome. Gavin had the whole place in tears. You made our event better than we could have imagined. Also dealing with Archery people, your positive input on focusing on the target was great. I had people come to me the next day saying they focused on the target better and shot their best rounds. Thanks again, I would recommend you for any event.”

Brighter Mechanical Limited

We have always strived to make the Annual Christmas party one of the highlights for our crew. They work hard for us all year and we try to entice everyone to attend so that we can say “thanks” for their efforts. It’s really a challenge to try and outdo ourselves from year to year but we seem to find a way.

We just experienced one of our finest Christmas parties ever. The hypnotic experience you delivered was really a blast, for the crowd and for the participants. We would not hesitate for a moment to say that hiring you was one of our more brilliant moves. On behalf of all of our employees and the guests in attendance, thank you very much for a night that will long be remembered.

Our guys and their guests will be talking about this experience for a long time… likely right into next Christmas.

If you’re ever in the neighborhood, don’t hesitate to drop in and say hi. Thanks again for a GREAT night.

Gavin Hooper is a true comedic genius whose hypnotic talent is conducted in a very professional non-threatening manner and who truly believes in the positive power of the mind. Not only is he very personable and enthusiastic, but he has a way of smoothly easing the crowd in and then delivering a non-stop laughing show. His show is one that we will be raving about for a long time to come and we will definitely be making plans to invite him again for future events. Thank you Gavin!

You won over a tough crowed

You can win over even the toughest audience 🙂 Thanks for a great evening of fun entertainment. I especially liked the superwoman routine, we all roared with laughter. At first I was a doubter but when so many people were hypnotized and joined you onstage I became a believer! You definitely know how to put on a great show!

Just wanted to say thank you for the good times at the Illinois State Fair!  I had a great time watching and then participating in your show, and I have photos to prove it – LOL.  I especially liked the clean nature and positive attitude of your show…especially the “you will never drink and drive” affirmation to the young folks on stage.  Good for you…you’re helping the planet!

Hope to see you next year,

Dyna-Flo

We invited Gavin this year to entertain at our Christmas Party. Our staff wasn’t sure, in fact reluctant at the thought of a Hypnotist. Gavin was the life of the party, he was professional, entertaining, and absolutely hilarious, and all of us were literally laughing so hard we had tears. What a fabulous time we had, our staff; are still talking about how much fun he was and want him back next year. Gavin made our evening pure fun and relaxing, I would highly recommend him to anyone for any occasion.

Bev Forest – Office Manager

Ingram Pharmacy

“Gavin Hooper was a wonderful addition to our christmas staff party. He showed up early and got to know the crowd before the actual show, and had no problem working the room and explaining the process of hypnosis to everyone. He offered a clean yet hilarious experience and made some of the more nervous of the staff warm up quickly to the idea. His show was impeccable and I would truly recommend him for any event where you want people to have a great time and a lot of laughs. 10/10, A++”
 
I wanted to thank you again for coming out. You were amazing 🙂

Toyota -Scion Fun Party

Wanted to say Thank You for a wonderful evening of fun and laughs!!!

And for making our night a big hit!! Had so many people come up to my husband and I and say how much fun they had!!!

It was our pleasure to meet you and have you perform for our staff and would recommend your show 100% as it was fun, new and best part, it was a clean show! Everybody that participated had fun!

Thanks again,

Ballenas Prom/Dry Grad

There is nothing I can say about Gavin Hooper’s exceptional show except, ‘WOW!!!!’ The kids had clearly heard about this, as this comedic hypnotist was #1 on their wish list and I can clearly see why.

From the get-go, Gavin had the kids and the adults hooked. As he selected his line up of participants, one young man came up to me and said, ‘Several of those kids are not even grads; it’s not fair.’ Unaware of Gavin’s plans, I responded, “just try to have some fun; you’ll get your turn”. And then magically, as if Gavin was privvy to this conversation, he asked how many of the line up were grads and promptly, yet tactfully removed the non-graduating participants. I knew then we were in for something magical.

I don’t pretend to understand hypnosis and until this night, was even skeptical but I know these kids. They would never take directions from a sock monkey, shave with a window cleaner (see photo gallery) or dance the Chicken Dance and yet, here they were in front of all their peers doing all this and more. These kids are not actors; they could not have possibly known how to fly a space ship through rocky layers of atmosphere or hold onto dreams with the passion.

They were so under his spell and yet, never, not once told to do anything undignified or tasteless. The entire evening was one jaw-dropping instant after another chalked block full of humour.

It was such an honour to finally witness this show for myself and experience what all the fuss is about. Hire Gavin again? You betcha! I have already reccommended Gavin Hooper to many because I want to see him again and again. Don’t hesitate – book now – or risk being disappointed.

– Carrie Powell-Davidson, Entertainment Chair, Ballenas Prom/Dry Grad

 

Cowichan Senior Secondary

Hi Gavin, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing show you put on, you were the highlight of the Dry Grad party, and worth every penny! You were respectful of the students that were hypnotized, and yet still very funny. I was standing at the back with a group of kids who were just howling with laughter ( actually all the kids were howling… you did a great job of choosing a variety of kids so that almost everyone in the audience had a connection with at least one of the hypnotized kids ). The part that I will never forget though, is when you got the kids to hold onto their dreams (still tearing up thinking about it ), I had expected to laugh, but I had not expected to feel so incredibly grateful to you for acknowledging their hopes and plans on such an important night. I would highly recommend you! You kept over 200 highschool teenagers entertained for over an hour and a half, and gave them some incredible memories to take home with them, thank you so much Gavin!

PS: As the parent who booked you, I also want to thank you for your prompt replies to emails and questions! You were very helpful and clear about what you needed. Thanks again!

– Lucy Hylkema, Cowichan Senior Secondary

Howe Sound Dry Grad

Hi Gavin, I want to thank you for adding the finishing touch to an incredibly awesome evening. The grads were so excited with everything we did that night and your show just took it over the top for them. It was hilarious!! I appreciated that the show was very respectful and included heartfelt memories as well as the fun and jokes. I’d strongly recommend you to others and in fact already have!

– Thanks again, Evelyn, Howe Sound Dry Grad

Best show ever at RSS Gavin… can you say a ton of students! Thanks for the drinking and driving message as always. You are amazing!!

Will never drink or drive

Your performance was a highlight of the evening and it was a pleasure to work with you. I would like to thank you for keeping in contact with me during the months prior to our event, responding right away to any questions that I had as well as being flexible to our never ending moving schedule!! Your performance had the audience laughing and enjoying themselves from the start to the end. As a parent I would like to thank you for ending your show as you did, telling the grads hypnotized or not that they will never drink or drive or get in with someone who had been drinking. It was a powerful statement and what a great note to end on. I will definitely recommending you for next years dry grad.

Thank you.

Victoria Bleary

– On behalf of the Ballenas Grads, Victoria Bleaney

Parents enjoyed it as well great grad.

The grads thoroughly enjoyed your show and according to an e-mail received from the vice principal, your show was the talk of the school on Monday. That says a lot. We parents enjoyed it as well. Our plan was to start the clean up while you performed, but from the start of your show we were hooked. No one started clean up until you were done. We were mesmerized!! Once we confirm a date for next years dry grad we will be booking you in for sure. Thanks for making dry grad so memorable for our grads!!

– Sam, SKSS

 

Fraser Heights Secondary School

On behalf of Fraser Heights Secondary School Dry Grad Committee I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing an entertaining “laugh out loud” professional performance at our Dry Grad on Sunday morning. The students have not stopped talking about what a wonderful show you put on; comments like; “Hilarious”, “Unreal”, “Amazing”, “Incredible” just keep coming. I’m thrilled that we’ve booked you again for next year and would encourage all Dry Grad Committees to work with you and book early. You are clearly hard working, honest and reliable. Thank you!

– Fraser Heights Secondary School

 

Norkam Secondary

We absolutely thought you were the highlight of the evening… Thank you so much for putting on what I’d say was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The students have not stopped talking about it, my daughter was the one that wanted the “pony” after winning the lotto!!! she found it to be the most exciting life experience that she’s ever had, she described how it felt to be hypnotized and how she remembered everything that went on, the things that impressed her and I the most is the fact that she did not wake up and feel embarrassed about anything that was said or done (great ethics I find most hypnotists base their shows on humiliation sometimes) and two; the message you gave to the students at the end was moving and powerful!! You should be very proud of your business and take pleasure in knowing that without a doubt, that was the most fun that the parents and students have had in a long time or maybe ever!!!

– Lili , Norkam Secondary

You hypnotized a member of the Raveen family

Dry Grad Hypnotist Extraordinaire!

You were Awesome and a Huge hit. Talked about very much the next day. I wanted to mention that the young man you gave the suggestion to; that he would need to ask you a burning question and then forget….is Cody Reveen. Yes, Reveen’s grandson. I thought that was quite ironic. He had a really good time.

R.S.S

Helley Conway Yost

I would strongly recommend

We couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer for our dry grad, comedy hypnotist, Gavin Hooper. He truly is a “Master of imagination!”

Seeing all the intrigued, surprised, and smiling faces of all the grads, parents, and volunteers who watched the show was worth it all.

From laughter to amazement the audience was thoroughly captivated, leaving everyone with memories they won’t soon forget.
I would strongly recommend Gavin Hooper for any grad celebration.

Such a spectacular part of our event!!

Outstanding show Gavin! So much more than hypnosis was happening. To imagine 250 Grads that have been playing hard all night until 3:00AM, I was thinking you would have no trouble putting each one to sleep. Yet no, the entire audience was still on the edge of their seats to see every moment of what you had going on. Laughing hysterically & gasping with amazement the whole time. I am sure they knew it would be an interesting show going in but they left with wide eyes, more laughter & fantastic stories to tell.
Thanks for being such a spectacular part of our event!

Sherry Baker

Hi Gavin, thank you for making the trip all the way to Whistler ! We all had a fantastic time. I laughed so hard. Your show was so very entertaining. You treated everyone with care and respect and the audience was amazed at the effect you had on the participants. I spoke to many people after who said they had no idea how much fun it was going to be and how they wouldnt believe it if they didnt see if for themselves.

I would love to have you come do another show and would recommend you to anyone anytime.

– All the best, Sherry Baker

Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs

The participants of the 24 Hour Relay were enthralled by Gavin’s performance. Past participants were very excited to hear that Gavin was returning for another performance and it showed by the number who came to watch. Of the evening’s entertainment Gavin had the largest audience, but who wouldn’t want to watch their team mates do fun things like dance with chairs. It is so heart warming to receive the charitable support and fabulous entertainment provided by Gavin Hooper. Thank you.

The feedback I got from everyone I spoke with was FANTASTIC, they could not stop talking about it, even the next day.

I have received phone calls to let me know how much fun was had, and they want to know when will be the next time we’re doing this event?

As for me, someone that did not want to be hypnotized, but ended up in hypnosis, lol I’m happy to say, I feel amazing. That was my first hypnotic experience. I want to thank you so much for making our event so much fun, fun, fun. You will be talked about, for a long time.

We hired Gavin Hooper for our Entertainment for our Holiday Party. At first, people were a little reluctant and didn’t seem to like the idea too well. However, the night of the event was a complete success! Mr. Hooper was extremely professional and ran a good clean show, just as he said he would. The entire audience was laughing throughout the show; And as part of our Social Committee, the compliments we received on booking Mr. Hooper were unbelievable. Comments like “best party ever and please get him again next year.” So I would highly recommend this for anyone’s company function.

Cheers from Big White

“Gavin Hooper has done two shows for us at Globe restaurant at Big White, one for our staff and one for our customers. On both occasions he was great to work with, professional, responsive and attentive to details. The shows were really well received on both occasions, bringing intrigue, laughter and just good old fashioned comedy fun to an engaged and enthusiastically reassured crowd,  for which we had no problems getting volunteers to come forward! Loved dealing with him and would happily do so again!”

I don’t pretend to understand hypnosis and until this night, was even skeptical but I know these kids. They would never take directions from a sock monkey, shave with a window cleaner (see photo gallery) or dance the Chicken Dance and yet, here they were in front of all their peers doing all this and more. These kids are not actors; they could not have possibly known how to fly a space ship through rocky layers of atmosphere or hold onto dreams with the passion.

They were so under his spell and yet, never, not once told to do anything undignified or tasteless. The entire evening was one jaw-dropping instant after another chalked block full of humour.

It was such an honour to finally witness this show for myself and experience what all the fuss is about. Hire Gavin again? You betcha! I have already reccommended Gavin Hooper to many because I want to see him again and again. Don’t hesitate – book now – or risk being disappointed.

Hi Gavin, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing show you put on, you were the highlight of the Dry Grad party, and worth every penny! You were respectful of the students that were hypnotized, and yet still very funny. I was standing at the back with a group of kids who were just howling with laughter ( actually all the kids were howling… you did a great job of choosing a variety of kids so that almost everyone in the audience had a connection with at least one of the hypnotized kids ). The part that I will never forget though, is when you got the kids to hold onto their dreams (still tearing up thinking about it ), I had expected to laugh, but I had not expected to feel so incredibly grateful to you for acknowledging their hopes and plans on such an important night. I would highly recommend you! You kept over 200 highschool teenagers entertained for over an hour and a half, and gave them some incredible memories to take home with them, thank you so much Gavin!

PS: As the parent who booked you, I also want to thank you for your prompt replies to emails and questions! You were very helpful and clear about what you needed. Thanks again!

Howe Sound Dry Grad

Hi Gavin, I want to thank you for adding the finishing touch to an incredibly awesome evening. The grads were so excited with everything we did that night and your show just took it over the top for them. It was hilarious!! I appreciated that the show was very respectful and included heartfelt memories as well as the fun and jokes. I’d strongly recommend you to others and in fact already have!

– Thanks again, Evelyn, Howe Sound Dry Grad

Will never drink or drive

Your performance was a highlight of the evening and it was a pleasure to work with you. I would like to thank you for keeping in contact with me during the months prior to our event, responding right away to any questions that I had as well as being flexible to our never ending moving schedule!! Your performance had the audience laughing and enjoying themselves from the start to the end. As a parent I would like to thank you for ending your show as you did, telling the grads hypnotized or not that they will never drink or drive or get in with someone who had been drinking. It was a powerful statement and what a great note to end on. I will definitely recommending you for next years dry grad.

Thank you.

Parents enjoyed it as well great grad.

The grads thoroughly enjoyed your show and according to an e-mail received from the vice principal, your show was the talk of the school on Monday. That says a lot. We parents enjoyed it as well. Our plan was to start the clean up while you performed, but from the start of your show we were hooked. No one started clean up until you were done. We were mesmerized!! Once we confirm a date for next years dry grad we will be booking you in for sure. Thanks for making dry grad so memorable for our grads!!

Fraser Heights Secondary School

On behalf of Fraser Heights Secondary School Dry Grad Committee I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for providing an entertaining “laugh out loud” professional performance at our Dry Grad on Sunday morning. The students have not stopped talking about what a wonderful show you put on; comments like; “Hilarious”, “Unreal”, “Amazing”, “Incredible” just keep coming. I’m thrilled that we’ve booked you again for next year and would encourage all Dry Grad Committees to work with you and book early. You are clearly hard working, honest and reliable. Thank you!

Rutland Senior Secondary

Rutland Senior Secondary had the privilege of having Gavin Hooper as our hypnotist for the evening of Dry Grad. I just want to say that Gavin Hooper was spectacular. He kept everyone entertained and had us laughing for a full hour and a half. If you need a great Hypnotist, ask for Gavin Hooper, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks.

Norkam Secondary

We absolutely thought you were the highlight of the evening… Thank you so much for putting on what I’d say was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The students have not stopped talking about it, my daughter was the one that wanted the “pony” after winning the lotto!!! she found it to be the most exciting life experience that she’s ever had, she described how it felt to be hypnotized and how she remembered everything that went on, the things that impressed her and I the most is the fact that she did not wake up and feel embarrassed about anything that was said or done (great ethics I find most hypnotists base their shows on humiliation sometimes) and two; the message you gave to the students at the end was moving and powerful!! You should be very proud of your business and take pleasure in knowing that without a doubt, that was the most fun that the parents and students have had in a long time or maybe ever!!!

You hypnotized a member of the Raveen family

Dry Grad Hypnotist

You were Awesome and a Huge hit. Talked about very much the next day. I wanted to mention that the young man you gave the suggestion to; that he would need to ask you a burning question and then forget….is Cody Reveen. Yes, Reveen’s grandson. I thought that was quite ironic. He had a really good time.

I would strongly recommend

We couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer for our dry grad, comedy hypnotist, Gavin Hooper. He truly is a “Master of imagination!”

Seeing all the intrigued, surprised, and smiling faces of all the grads, parents, and volunteers who watched the show was worth it all.

From laughter to amazement the audience was thoroughly captivated, leaving everyone with memories they won’t soon forget.
I would strongly recommend Gavin Hooper for any grad celebration.

Such a spectacular part of our event!!

Outstanding show Gavin! So much more than hypnosis was happening. To imagine 250 Grads that have been playing hard all night until 3:00AM, I was thinking you would have no trouble putting each one to sleep. Yet no, the entire audience was still on the edge of their seats to see every moment of what you had going on. Laughing hysterically & gasping with amazement the whole time. I am sure they knew it would be an interesting show going in but they left with wide eyes, more laughter & fantastic stories to tell.
Thanks for being such a spectacular part of our event!

Sherry Baker

Hi Gavin, thank you for making the trip all the way to Whistler ! We all had a fantastic time. I laughed so hard. Your show was so very entertaining. You treated everyone with care and respect and the audience was amazed at the effect you had on the participants. I spoke to many people after who said they had no idea how much fun it was going to be and how they wouldnt believe it if they didnt see if for themselves.

I would love to have you come do another show and would recommend you to anyone anytime.

– All the best, Sherry Baker

Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs

The participants of the 24 Hour Relay were enthralled by Gavin’s performance. Past participants were very excited to hear that Gavin was returning for another performance and it showed by the number who came to watch. Of the evening’s entertainment Gavin had the largest audience, but who wouldn’t want to watch their team mates do fun things like dance with chairs. It is so heart warming to receive the charitable support and fabulous entertainment provided by Gavin Hooper. Thank you.

Kamloops Fundraiser

The feedback I got from everyone I spoke with was FANTASTIC, they could not stop talking about it, even the next day.

I have received phone calls to let me know how much fun was had, and they want to know when will be the next time we’re doing this event?

As for me, someone that did not want to be hypnotized, but ended up in hypnosis, lol I’m happy to say, I feel amazing. That was my first hypnotic experience. I want to thank you so much for making our event so much fun, fun, fun. You will be talked about, for a long time.
