Gary Conrad August 29, 2008

Gary Conrad has quickly become one of the hottest and most skillful hypnotists working in this country. He has amazed audiences from Alaska to Florida with his hypnotism shows. He has become a regular at all of the "A" room comedy clubs and colleges across the country.
Gary was born and raised in Linden, New Jersey. After receiving his degree from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, he worked as a stockbroker in New York City. He followed that with a very successful eleven-year stretch in the shipping business, working in both New York and Los Angeles.
Gary Conrad began his journey into hypnosis in 1980 in order to better condition himself during training for bodybuilding competition. He learned that through control of his mind, he could maximize his workout abilities. This ignited his passion for hypnotism that continues to this day. After several years of study, which included a stint in England, Gary began hypnotizing people in a clinical setting and eventually moved to the stage.
Gary Conrad has hypnotized thousands from Army Special Forces to bikers to New York policemen to schoolteachers. His shows are among the most popular that many comedy clubs host. Gary Conrad is unique in that he is one of the very few performers in the country to have the same people come back two and three times in one week to attend his show. Also, while traversing the country, he has become popular on radio and television programs in many different markets.
Since hitting the road, Gary Conrad has never looked back. If the adage of "practice makes perfect" holds true, he must be as close to perfect as any hypnotist in the country. Not content to simply work a few weeks on the road and then go home for a week, he works non-stop...year round, performing more than 400 shows per year.
It’s a rare visit from one of the best in the business this week at the Comedy Showcase.
