5 Magician Secrets to Getting on TV From Celebrity Hypnotist Chris Jones

[Hypnotist Chris Jones Has been featured on the Today show, Chicago’s Windy City Live, and his performance hypnotizing Judge Howie Mandel on America’s Got Talent has over 30 Million views on Youtube. In 2018 Chris was offered a show concept, hypnotizing people to make their favorite celebrities unrecognizable. The show was produced by John Cena, even featured Cena Himself, Pamela Andeson, Gabriel Iglesias, and Steve-O (to name a few). So the question is “How”?. How does a magician go from table hopping in college to performing for Rapper Eminem, on AGT and getting their own show? Chris reveals his top 5 tips to get on TV]

  • Tip 1: Film Everything- That’s how you get AGT
  • “Do it, edit it and share it with the world. Film everything, that’s honestly how they found me. Standing in line for 7 or 8 hours is a romantic idea, but you have to see it from the point of view of the producers. They are there working all day and they have seen thousands of people that day. They’re tired and in reality they don't want to be there all day either, so if they find you...it's even better. But I had a 5 year hypnosis career pre-AGT, so it didn’t make my career. But since then I’ve been able to meet some incredible magicians. But recording yourself helps your find your voice and your brand, which is important.

     

  • Tip 2: Don't Go in Blind- Have a Well Developed Original Idea 
  • I was asked to try to fool Penn and Teller, so I flew out to vegas. I tried to hypnotize Teller into talking, he wouldn't fake that, so it would show that it's real. I didn’t end up hypnotizing Teller, but I tried...He told me that he was a huge skeptic so he wasn’t expecting it to work. Maybe if we were alone, it would have worked. They said something like, “We don’t know exactly what that was, but you didn’t fool us...but we still don’t know what that was.” Even if I didn’t fool them there was a ton of mutual respect being shown, and it was a cool experience. [Another thing that was important to Chris is making sure people believe the Hypnosis, because on TV anything can look like acting]. When AGT  asked “How will we know if it’s real?” I said, “Because I’m going to get Howie to shake my hand”. I approach every performance with a different strategy, because there's always a possibility something wont work. [The point of fool us is to fool penn and teller. So how could you think you could trick them with hypnosis?] Well one way could be tricking Teller into thinking he is Hypnotized, but that’s just one way...



  • Tip 3: Search the Credits-How do you find the right person to contact?
  • The great thing is that there’s credits. On every show there is a list of the producers. They are real people you can look up and contact. That’s the beauty of T.V.. When you figure out your idea it will be a lot easier. I literally had my friends who were actors pretend to be Mel B. and Howie on a video that I sent the producers. I actually did that, and that what was what convinced them to have me on. 


  • Tip 4: Don’t Be Shy-You HAVE to Advertise Yourself
  • [You’re a super humble guy, you don't seem like the type to care about publicity or being famous...you just seem to love performing.] The thing is a hypnotist once tod me (When I was starting out) was ‘if you are a magician and you don't like to advertise yourself, you're in the wrong business.’ You have to advertise so TV and media are important.


  • So the big question is “What do we have to do to get a show produced by John Cena like you?”
  • GET A TV AGENT! I have an agent and he only gets paid if I get booked. It is so important to get a (good) agent. I can definitely say that was the biggest influence on my TV career. Agents work for you and do the things you might not have the time or expertise to do yourself. Find a good agent!

     


    [Is there 1 last thing you can tell me that can help someone who feels like they are close to their big break?]


    Record ALL of your shows, even if only audio. It’s an old comedy trick. That way you can see what hits, what misses and what you can do better. It is important to listen to yourself so you can get better, make a stronger act and cut unnecessary words. I even listen to them on the plane or the airport in my freetime. I’d also suggest getting 13 Steps to Mentalism. Get a copy and them get another copy, in case someone steals it.

      It is so easy to make mistakes while traveling: you are excited, distracted, and sometimes a bit too casual with your security. That’s precisely what happened when I accessed my Bitcoin wallet on a public Wi-Fi network during a trip. I sat in a café, sipping my coffee, thinking, “What could go wrong?” Spoiler alert: everything.
      I logged in to my wallet, just checking balances and making a few small transfers. But the moment I got on the public network, a hacker struck. I had stupidly left the door wide open, and someone dove in. By the time I tried to log out and lock everything down, it was too late-I was shut out of my $250,000 Bitcoin wallet.
      The panic set in faster than I could react. How had I been so careless? Public Wi-Fi is notorious for being unsecured, and yet I took that risk. I had always heard the horror stories of people losing their crypto to hackers, but I never thought it would happen to me. I felt like a complete idiot.
      But thankfully, this is where the story turns around. I knew I needed help, and I needed it fast. That’s when I called FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. They got back to me in no time, and to my relief, their team didn’t judge me; they just got down to work. I told them my situation-a mixture of embarrassment and frustration. Yet, the calm and professional composure of the people made me feel everything would be alright. They told me then that they had dealt with worse and would recover my money.
      In the days that followed, a call came from FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY -it was the news I had been praying for. My wallet had been recovered, and my $250,000, which I’d thought I lost, was safe and sound. I cannot even explain it. Suddenly, a load was lifted off my shoulders.
      But that was not all. FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY not only recovered my funds but also took the time to explain how I could protect my wallet while on the road. Now, I always use a VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi, and I am so much more careful with my security practices.
      It’s amazing how a single moment of carelessness can lead to disaster, but I’m grateful for FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY’s expertise in saving me from my own mistake. I’m smarter now, and my Bitcoin wallet is safer than ever. Contact Details below:

      Thanks,

      SCAMS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS, BUT ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: TAKING YOUR MONEY

      Fraud can happen in many ways—whether it’s binary options scams, love scams, forex fraud, crypto investment schemes, or loan scams. If you’ve been a victim of any of these, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by the different financial institutions and legal processes involved in recovery. The journey to reclaim your stolen funds can often be frustrating and difficult to manage on your own.

      The recovery process usually involves navigating complex legal and financial systems, which can be even more challenging without experience. In such cases, it’s crucial to seek professional help from a trusted firm specializing in fund recovery.

      YOUR CHANCES OF RECOVERY DEPENDS ON THE RIGHT FIRM
