What is a Hypnotism Licence?

Under the Hypnotism Act 1952, If you intend to hold an exhibition, performance or demonstration of hypnotism on any person which takes place in public you will require a licence.

 

We make having a hypnotism licence a simple, stress-free process ✅

 

You won’t need a permit if the hypnotism is for the purpose of scientific demonstration or research, or if you are only hypnotising yourself.

 

Note - You may also need a theatre or entertainment licence, depending on the type of performance.

 

What is Hypnotism?

Hypnotism includes:

any act that makes a person sleep

any act that puts a person in a trance

 

Fines and penalties

If you perform hypnotism without authorisation you can be fined £1000. The same fine applies if you hypnotise someone who is less than 18 years old.

 

How to apply for a Hypnotism Licence

To apply for a Hypnotism Licence, applications must be made via your local council. To find out the contact details of your local council please visit the Official UK Government Website.
