Justin James  CEO The Hypnosis Company

Founder of the first Stage Safety Advisory Board and involved in business since his earliest yrs, Justin's background includes almost 20yrs of involvement in peak performance. A former Senior Executive Vice President for BHA Justin was responsible for reshaping the lives of thousands of senior executives from all major industries for over a decade. A solid background in Marketing, Business Development, Human Resources, General Management & Counseling served him well.

Founding The Hypnosis Company in 1994, Justin had a dream of one day leaving the corporate world, though he never thought it would be as a stage entertainer. Taking on a life of its own The Hypnosis Company began sending Justin coast to coast doing Hypnosis demonstrations and teaching Hypnosis classes. Called to do a stage hypnosis show many yrs ago Justin reluctantly agreed. The show was a hit and started everything down a wildly different path. Today The Hypnosis Company is based in Justin's home town, of Las Vegas.  You can catch Justin all across the USA performing hundreds of times a yr.

Chuck Milligan

Chuck has been performing hypnosis stage programs for over 23 years. Although he is trained as a hypnotherapist, his career has been based exclusively in the entertainment industry. Chuck is truly an international performer, having performed in London, Greece, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Korea ,and Africa, among other countries. Due to Chucks extensive military background (He is an ex-Force Recon Marine, trained as a sniper and paratrooper) he has strong loyalties to the military and has made three trips to Iraq to entertain the U.S military troops . Chuck will return to Iraq several more times Before the war is over. When not traveling outside of the United States, he performs at colleges, universities, and high schools throughout the entire United States. Chuck’s hypnotist friends refer to him as “ The Grad Night King“, as he is responsible for booking over 100 Grad nights every year.

Chucks extensive experience has given him considerable insight as to how to perform under every condition imaginable, from outside shows in 130 degree weather, to shows in a war zone that were interrupted in the middle due to incoming rocket attacks. It is Chucks hope that his contribution to this project will help you in keeping yourself and others Safe on Stage.
