Working Abroad As A Comedy Hypnotist

First Of all welcome to my Blog

My Name is RickyDale

I have been an Hypnotist for 16 Years Now , Having some great fun and meeting fantastic people.

Places i have worked are Greece , Spain ,Canary Islands, Cyprus and America

This has given me a fantastic lifestlye and some very good wages to.

There have been some very bad times working abroad as well which i will share with you so these don,t happen to you as well.

The first thing i will say is Plan and have a contract.

I was working in Spain in 2003 for a local Entertainments Agency , who had promised me around 200 euros a show two shows a night Six Days a week , As promised i done these shows and had people packing the Bars also booking seats for the show , Normally these bars were very quite and i had personally filled them.

I was due to be paid on the 11th of every month , when i did get paid the agent had deducted me 70% of my wages even though it was promised only 25% would be deducted.

When i confronted him he told me I had to pay for the apartment and travel expenses all the other acts had done the same and complained but thats as far as it went.

If i had made a contract and not a verbal one this would have not happened.

So what did i do ?

First thing was to find my own appartment and work

All the Bars i had worked in begged me to carry on.

So the next day i went to the local printers got them to make some cheap flyers and went posting in Hotels ,bars Clubs any where where i could find work.

Brought a Local mobile Sim due to the low cost of calls had this added to the flyers.

I posted around 200 flyers around the area and in about one hours drive.

If this sounded like to much trouble , it wasn't because me and the wife walked in the nice hot wheater with a bottle of water and had a good time.

Well a week went by and never had a call , then my phone kept ringing , we were in the season now and there was a lot of Elvis singers out there but nothing like Hypnosis.

One thing i do find when working abroad and a lot of hypnotist have the same problems is singers get a little upset due to the price of your act and what they earn for theirs , as most singers only earn around 40 Euros for a show.

Now i had booked around five venues at 250 Euros a show still selling my show cheaper than the agent with no deductions

In my first week i had earn 1250 Euros for as little as two hours work a night.

These venues where some places i had not worked before and the response i had with the owners was fantastic.

The bars which i had worked for under the agent , some used and some didn't the reason being is that the agent supplies all there acts and had told them he would stop all acts working if they used me.

After working for the week more calls came and before i knew it i had 14 venues

wow i thought and had to refuse some venues after that.

I was working for 7 nights for 250 Euros a show Two shows a night

Now this is what i had travelled to spain for my second week earned me 3500Euro and also around another 150 Euros a show selling DVD,s of the show.

Now i was happy and it was all worth the effott.

So take my warnings if you do travel or work for anyone get a contract and above all read the clauses.

Or better still book a flight find some cheap Diggs and find your own work as i did.

you must travel early season to book your shows and take a promo DVD to show them your work.
