Big Finish
Hello,
One thing I've realized from watching video of my recent shows is that the ending feels a little weak.
Mind you, I know to make my last skit really good--either the ten-year kiss or something to get everyone up and dancing--but after that, there's a post-hypnotic suggestion (to shout "Best Show Ever" anytime they hear someone say, "The Pirate Hypnotist") followed by a quick obstacle removal bit that I do to thank my volunteers, then the count-up and ask the crew how long they feel they've been on stage. Then I fire off the post-hypnotic and call for applause for my volunteers.
In other words, from the high point of the final skit, the rest seems to just peter out. Any recommendations from the pros? Maybe some closing music?
Thanks,
James

Yep... Quit imitating others James....
The after show post hypnotics are a Terry Stokes signature move and unless you can do them as good as Terry does they just fall apart... Outside of that they really are not safe because you have let volunteers off stage still hypnotized and you really drag things out if you bring them back up...
I do not know what the Ten Year Kiss is... I suspect it is the romance bit where hubby and wife come together and one is hypnotized to believe that they are going to give the other a very passionate kiss....
if that is the bit then be careful with it... It can get you fired for being suggestive... (in the wrong environment)
Find a big group skit that you can do... Theme it to something original and make it your signature close......
When done sit them down get the crowd cheering wake them (clearing any suggestions) and take a bow...!

I usually do a series of post-hypnotic suggestions while dismissing many of them one at a time.
It really does vary, sometimes when I am in the mood, I'll have them experience amnesia until they leave my stage or until they wash their hands, etc.
Sometimes I'll count 'em out and they seem to be back, and then I just drop 'em all again and bring 'em back again. .
Hey, any other show (like an opera) is usually over, only when the fat lady sings; with a hypnosis show, it's only over when the Hypnotist says so. LOL

It's always good to have intro and closing music that are high energy. It starts the audience off in the right mood, and leaves them in the right mood.
I try to do very visual post hypnotics and sometimes, depending on how the last skit goes over... I don't use them at all.
You really have to experiment with closing routines until you find one that works and that fits your style.
