His upcoming live shows will have lots of new fun and outrageous routines where the audience can expect the unexpected. 

In fits of hysterical laughter, Powers seems to lose himself in each performance, pushing the boundaries of standard hypnotic fair and raising the bar with unique and truly whacky routines. 

All of this is delivered with a somewhat wayward humour in his distinctive, mischievous and impish style. 

Although the observer experiences a rollercoaster ride, on the very edge of what could be considered sane and proper, Powers manages to give us an ample glimpse of potential danger and mind-manipulation- gone-wrong while impossibly striking the balance of not taking hypnosis too far.

While his volunteers live out their wildest fantasies or experience their worst fears, the audience is thoroughly entertained as they indulge themselves in this bittersweet adventure.

“Australian audiences have the perfect outrageous sense of humour, are very supportive and always show their appreciation for my shows,” Powers said.

“Also, possessing great sense of adventure means that there is never a shortage of volunteers to come up on the stage and give hypnosis a try.”

Powers said his first success with hypnosis was a complete fluke. 

“I was messing around with an old pocket watch and trying to zap my younger brother,” he said.

“To my surprise, it worked.

“That was the start of an obsession that still lasts to this day. 

“There were many obstacles during my fledging path to professional hypnosis. 

“I was always getting into trouble with my school teachers and the parents of my friends were none too happy that I was practicing on them either. 

“Although my sense of humour could be considered somewhat wayward, I do maintain an ethical sense of duty to my hypnotic subjects and make sure I bring thou out of hypnosis at the end of the show, returning all their normal faculties”. 

He writes and creates unique formats for broadcast and devotes much time to his pursuit of knowledge and practice in the field of hypnosis for self-improvement, behavioral modification, extraordinary perception, altered states of consciousness and the control of chronic pain.

Powers will feature in a series of his own television shows that will be aired later this year on on Channel 7. 

Peter Powers will perform The Naughty Naughty Hypno Show at Club Sapphire, Merimbula on September 11 from 8.30pm. 

Tickets to the over 18 event are $35.
