Rich Ames brings comedy hypnosis to LCC

 

Popular national campus entertainer Rich Ames will enthrall students and community with his comedy-hypnosis show on Tuesday, October 19, at both Laredo Community College campuses.

Rich and his wife, Marielle, both board certified hypnotists, will perform October 19 at 10 a.m. in the Billy Hall Student Center (5500 South Zapata Highway) and at 1 p.m. at the Kazen College Center (West End Washington Street).  The talented duo will also offer hypnosis workshops after their performances.  Sponsored by the LCC Student Activities Office, the programs are free and open to students and the public.

"Rich Ames' comedy hypnosis show is always a huge attraction with LCC students," said Student Activities Director Margie Moncibais-Sanchez. "We expect that our students will once again enjoy the zany antics that this creative storyteller and master of fun creates through the power of hypnosis."

Ames will follow the performances with hypnosis workshops at both campuses.  Students and others are invited to learn how they can use hypnosis to improve their memory and self confidence, and gain a stronger focus on studies, work and life.

Ames learned hypnosis in Los Angeles studying with Gil Boyne, one of the top stage hypnotists in the country. He has also studied with other top hypnotists in Florida.

Ames is a board certified hypnotist with the National Board of Hypnosis Education and Certification and studied psychology as an undergraduate.  His wife, Marielle, also a board certified hypnotist, holds a Master’s degree in counseling from Arizona State University.

Ames is also a trained stage and commercial actor with credits including NHK Japanese Television, NBC, CBS, and numerous performances at nightclubs and evening spots such as the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.

He has performed at more than 1,000 colleges and universities in the United States since 1991.
