Hypnotism permit

Any exhibition, demonstration or performance of hypnotism on any person requires the express written consent of the Licensing Authority and must comply with conditions. Applications should be submitted at least 28 days before the performance, otherwise the application may not be determined in time. You need to comply with the Hypnotism Act 1952 (as amended). This requires that you obtain a permit from the licensing authority if you are giving an exhibition, demonstration or performance of hypnotism: 

• on any person
• or in connection with entertainment to which the public are admitted, whether by payment or otherwise. 

A separate application must be made by the person who will be carrying out the act of hypnotism for each premises/venue they intend to be used.
