Professional stage hypnotist Mark Irish, of Atlanta, was recently chosen the ”World’s Funniest Stage Hypnotist” in 2003 by the International Guild of Stage Hypnotists, London.

Irish ran away with the competition, vying with hypnotists from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.

A dynamic motivational speaker, entertainer and stage hypnotist, Mr. Irish won by more than 200 points over the second place finisher. Points were awarded for originality, stage presence, induction, audience interaction, multi-media presentation, handling of volunteers, clarity, improvisation and the use of props.

"Most of the competitors had the same old rubbish, with only a happen chance of originality," wrote one commentator. "Mark's themed show really set him apart from the others. He's a crafty bugger!"

Other judges noted Mr.Irish's blend of professional manner and appearance with improvisational, off-the-wall comedy that was in good taste. "A bit off his trolley though, had me in stitches, fair play, he's a real nutter!" another commentator wrote.

A distinguished panel of judges from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Ireland, Canada and Germany with expertise in theater, meeting and event planning, hypnosis, and talent agencies rated Mark Irish as the top hypnotist.
