History
In 1980, Gil Boyne founded the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, a non-profit professional organization engaging in self-regulation of all who use hypnotherapy as an integral part of a professional practice.

Membership
Since its inception in 1980, the A.C.H.E. has become an international organization. We have certified more than 13,000 Hypnotherapists and at present have more than 9,000 current, active certified members. Approximately one-third of these are physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and representatives of the healing arts professions.

Purpose
The primary focus of the A.C.H.E. is on formal and appropriate specialized education and training followed by a comprehensive written examination and practical demonstration of hypnosis skills before a Board of Examiners. A code of ethics and principles of practice were formulated and adopted by more than eight hundred new members in the first year of operation (1980).

Examination and Registration
Examination and registration are done by Regional Examining Boards, while certification is by the national parent body-the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. The Regional Councils are the result of the demand for full participation by the experienced and influential practitioners in other states. There are Regional Examining Councils covering most of the United States and Canada and affiliates in the United Kingdom and Australia.

A Stage Hypnosis Training Program That Gives You the Skills, the Knowledge, And Confidence You Need To Perform An Outstanding Show of Comedy Hypnosis!"

          Hello, My name is Gil Boyne and I am the Exec. Director of the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. I have trained many of America's top stage performers including Marshal Sylver, Justin Tranz, Mark Yuzik, Michael Mesmer, Marc Savard and many more.
          Now, I am sponsoring the Canadian Stage Hypnotist, Attila. He has been a professional Stage Hypnotist for twenty seven years and has performed in eight countries. He has averaged more than 200 shows per year and teaches his stage hypnosis course annually in Edmonton, Canada. I have invited him to come to Glendale, California to pass on his knowledge, skill and stage craft. Whether you are a professional hypnotherapist or seeking an introduction into this best known aspect of hypnosis, Secrets of Stage Hypnosis Master Class answers all of these questions and more.
I can assure you that by the time you have completed the two-day stage hypnosis seminar andwatched Attila put it all into practice LIVEwith a REAL show with a REAL audience, you will have confidence in your ability to do the same.
