Family Night Out for Faculty and Staff: Hypnotist - Tom DeLuca, tonight
8:30pm - BMU Auditorium - FREE!
Tom DeLuca opens the windows to the imagination by combining the power of suggestion with his volunteers’ innate creativity. Voted Entertainer of the Year for 4 years by colleges across the country, Tom was also voted the 2001 Performing Artist of the Year - it’s evident that DeLuca presents hypnosis like no one else in the world.
National media hold this view of Tom DeLuca as well. He is the only college performer to be featured on NBC’s “Dateline” as well as the front page of The Wall Street Journal. His appearance on daytime talk shows; Maury Povich, CNN Showbiz Today, Regis Philbin, PBS’s Charlie Rose Show; and feature articles in Rolling Stone and People magazines are testimony to his popularity to both college campuses and the general public.
What sets Tom’s show apart from others is that it gives the audience insight into common traits that we all share. “His approach is to forgo the gimmickry in order to reveal the fun and wonder hidden in the attics of his volunteer’s minds. There are moments of joy and happiness on stage” (Rolling Stone Magazine). With Tom’s show, hypnosis truly goes beyond entertainment — to reveal how powerful people’s imaginations can be.
“The results of Tom’s show are fascinating, hilarious, at times even poignant. Don’t miss him” (The New York Post).
