Laugh Yourself into the Twilight Zone!
The son of Jack Pyle a nationally successful banquet entertainer, Palmer instinctively knows how to adapt his program to the unique differences of each individual audience. His stand-up comedy ad-libs and humorous interactions with volunteers have made him known to clients all over the world as the master of tasteful stand-up comedy and hypnotic influence.
TV first discovered John-Ivan Palmer while he was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. While the anti-war movement was demonstrating on campus, John-Ivan Palmer was demonstrating in the Psych Lab, perfecting memory (or mnemonic) systems. He trained himself to quickly memorize the complete contents of magazines, 100 digit numbers, and calendars for an entire century. Because he grew up around the best show business professionals (like Sophie Tucker, Hank Williams and other celebrities of the day), he naturally knew how to make these memory feats entertaining. His seminars on Speeding Up The Learning Process were an instant hit in schools and colleges around the San Francisco Bay area.
Palmer quickly added hypnotic techniques to his night club show and became known as The World's Fastest Hypnotist. Stunning the world with techniques never seen before, agencies of all kinds snapped him up for American and foreign tours, and his shows were completely sold out two years in advance. He has appeared with many stars such as Kenny Rogers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, and the Statler Brothers.
John-Ivan Palmer was one of the first hypnotists to take the college market by storm, and regularly showcased at conventions of the National Association of Campus Activities. Today, corporations such as IBM, Cargill, General Mills and 3M are among his clients, along with hundreds of smaller companies. His versatile shows and linguistic skills have received standing ovations from Eastern Europe to the West Indies, from Latin America to Japan, where he recently blew them away at Kawaguchiko Daiichi Hotel near Mt. Fuji.
Right here in the good old U.S. of A. Palmer was held over an unprecedented 9 years at the Western Idaho Fair, drawing crowds of thousands, and his hypnotic sessions with the Minnesota Timberwolves basketball team are still being re-booked.
In Palmer's most recent television appearances in the United States, he has hypnotized celebrities and news anchors, like the Twin Cities' own Paul Magers, who caught a fish inside his own mind, then walked off the KSTP set and took it home as a result of a post hypnotic suggestion!
