After a successful 14 year career as a stand-up comedian, James R Zingleman decided to switch gears (and persona) and do a stage hypnosis act. He studied both stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy with some of the best instructors in the field. James is a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Under the alias Rusty Z, James has been putting volunteers to sleep and bringing out their hidden talents on stages across the United States. Rusty Z's mastery of rapid hypnotic inductions and his comedic background, not to mention his groovy-hipster stage persona, make his hypnosis parties a cut above the usual stage hypnosis show.

Rusty Z's Hilarious Hypnotic Happenings are always in good taste and nobody is embarrassed, except maybe the skeptics who didn't believe in hypnotism before the show started.

You’re invited to Rusty Z’s Hypno-A-Go-Go Comedy Hypnosis Party. See what a difference a comic mind can make in a hypnosis show.
