Dr. Marilyn Olsen did her hypnosis show at are our wedding. At first i was skeptical if hypnosis really worked. It was great to see such participation from our wedding guests. After a short period of time a few of our guests were hypnotized. Dr Olsen's hypnosis show turned out to be a huge success at our wedding. The whole crowd was in stitches laughing and the participants under hypnosis were the hit of the evening. It was awesome to see family and friends doing really fun stuff. This is the best form of entertainment. I would recommend it to anyone planning an event or wedding. Once we got the CD back from the show we were in stitches all over again watching from our own living room. It was hilarious!! The CD has become memorabilia from our wedding day and we enjoy it with family and friends all the time.
Thank you Dr. Olsen for creating such wonderful memories for us on our wedding day!

Thank you very much for your performances over the weekend Frolics in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Your shows were extremely well received and are the topic of conversation today. We were impressed not only with the quality of the entertainment that you generated but also the value for our money. Your 90 minute shows were the perfect compliment to both our entertainment evenings and in my mind they were the highlight of our Folic weekend.

Marilyn came to our Christmas party and was absolutely fantastic. Her show was a great success and everyone had a fab time. Her material was good and everyone had a fab time. Although some ladies thought the show might of been a bit too long!! (Not my Personal opinion). And the DVD's were good to re-watch!! I found Marilyn to be a very friendly and funny person with a great personality and sense of humour. I would certainly recommend her to everyone, and I already have! We would like to thank Marilyn and would like her to come back again sometime.

This is the first time I was hypnotized and I had a fantastic time. This is the greatest party I have ever organized and I am so glad I found you. You are Kari are the best people I met and I wish you two the best and I sure hope I can make it to your next shows (I will for sure participate). This is not the last time you will hear from us. You guys rock, thanks a lot once again.

This was by far the best Christmas Party we have ever had, we have had some incredible entertainment but this topped it! You were awesome.
Also by email later: I have to tell you, you and Kari gave an incredible show and we all had a really great time and it was nice to see that our Chairman enjoyed it so much that he now wants to have you come back next year, I've got to admit that it will be extremely hard to tope the performance you gave, you are both incredible performers and you should be proud of yourselves. Best of luck to the both of you and keep in touch! And show all those people what incredible entertainers you can be! We sure LOVED you!

Our evening was a very special evening for 150 teenage girls. Our Banquet was for the 2007 2A High School Volleyball Provincial Championship. Marilyn completely tended to all our wants and surpassed our desires. She personalized the show for our teenage volleyball girls with a few boys to entertain us that much more. Honestly she was FANTASTIC and I would totally recommend Marilyn. She made our event an unforgetable! Thank you Marilyn and thank you to your sound tech I think her name was Kari.

Funniest thing I've seen in a very long time! I'm really glad we had this show! I highly recommend Marilyn for your next fundraiser!

I saw Marilyn’s show in Fort St. John, as I am a member of the Oilwives club here. I have to say that up until then I truly believed that hypnosis shows were filled with the hypnotists’ friends in the audience or paid actors.
Your show blew me away. Having know all the lady’s in the show that night, I can say without a doubt that none of them would have acted the way the did on stage under normal circumstances regardless of how much they were paid!
You converted my beliefs.

I saw Raveen 3 or 4 times and thought he was great, but Marilyn put the people under in less time and with background noise which Raveen could not seem to do. She was great and I enjoyed her show.

Imagine watching your bosses and colleagues on stage riding a stick horse, singing like cats, being Dolly Parton or Elvis Presley, running after barnyard amimals or boogying to music by the Village People. These are some of the entertainment when a company hires a hypnotist for a staff party. "Someone can be a mouse in the office" says hypnotist Marilyn Olsen of Trance Tricks, "but unleash the extrovert inside and they really come alive." For a cost of $1000 to 4000, Calgary companies are increasinly hiring hypnotists for some hilarious, clean fun for an hour or two at staff events. Basically about 10 to 12 staff volunteer to be inducted in a hypnotic trance. Usually sitting in chairs on a stage, once the volunteers are in a rested and relaxed state, the hypnotist tells them to perform zany deeds.
Jamie and I were just in Las Vegas and went to a hypnosis show at one of the big hotels. The show was ok, but they told us the second show was SO much better so we went back for the second show. I have to tell you that neither of those shows could compare to the show you did for the Standard Grad Fundraiser. Your show was so much better and funnier than either of the ones we saw in Las Vegas.

"I have never EVER laughed so hard for so long at anything before in my whole life. It was hilarious, hysterical, amazing, incredible. It was fun and fascinating wondering how this works and why people can be convinced to wrestle stuffed alligators, roar around on hobby horses and sing & dance so uninhibitedly. It was great seeing the props, the hats & silly glasses. Marilyn truly has a gift for hilarity and comedy. A very fun evening. FIVE STARS!"

"Wonderful, family orientated show for our family fun night. I highly recommend Marilyn Olsen for any function. Very entertaining."
Shari Cleasby, Director Weyburn Red Wings, Weyburn, SK
"Marilyn, your show was very entertaining, and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend you to anyone, it was very clean yet very funny. It took two weeks for my sides to stop hurting, I thought I was on some exercise program. People in Southern Alberta are looking entertainment and I have photocopied your business card for them. I tell them it is well worth the money, for it is a show you will cherish for the rest of your life, it's not like a movie or a trick show in which you will forget about in weeks to come. It is the best Hypnosis show I have seen, the others tend to make me sleepy because they are either boring or plain just stupid, not like yours…it is real life. Tell Kari she did a wonderful job on lights and sound too. YOU ARE BOTH TERRRRIFFFFICCC!!!!"

"Just a word to let you know how much we enjoyed your entertainment at the Livelong Summer 'Spiel Banquet on Thursday night. It was awesome! I just wish I'd been hypnotized. Keep up the good work. I will definitely recommend anyone to go see you if they get a chance."

Edson Weekly Anchor- July 11, 2005 issue: One of the highlights of the day was undoubtedly the evening hypnosis show led by Master Hypnotist Marilyn Olsen. From having volunteer participants wrestling with a crocodile to performing like Shania Twain, this show provided some great entertainment and even better laughs for the hundreds of people who came out to watch.
"Very enjoyable show- good clean humor for a mixed crowd. Well worth it. Thank you.
Stuart McMahon, President, Galahad Ag. Society
The show was excellent. The crowds just loved it. I never laughed so much at a hypnotist, and the participants were great. I would recommend you to take a group of friends to attend and participate."

I would definately volunteer for her shows. Thank you.
