'The Hilarious Comedy of Hypnotist Fernandez' takes to the stage at City Hall this weekend.

It's a return visit for the Cuba-born hypnotist.

He first performed here at the Clay House Inn in 1998.

He studied hypnotism from the age of four he worked as an assistant for his father who performed on stage as a hypnotist in Havana.

"For years, Fernandez has dazzled audiences the world over with his spectacular brand of hypnosis," explained organiser O'Brian Roberts of Bermuda Magic.

"No other performer has captured the intrigue and electricity of this discipline, and it is doubtful that anyone ever will."

Bermuda Magic organised the show with The Specialised Youth Arts Charity 679.

"His first appearance was as his father's assistant at the age of four, but it wasn't until his teens that he devoted himself to these mysterious realms, " Mr. O'Brian added. "With the aid of his father, he learned the fundamentals of hypnosis and how to hold any audience spellbound by refining his stage technique. In his early 20s the hypnotist studied with the highly acclaimed Canadian hypnotist and psychic researcher, Alan Spraggett."

The event will be hosted by Mark Anderson a.k.a. Sybil Barrington

Mr. Fernandez has promised that anyone who volunteers to appear on stage will not be put in any embarrassing situations.

A fashion show featuring underwear for men will also be held. The show will feature items from the Metropolitan boutique, Mens and Ladies fashion from Toxic Rose, Jazzy's Boutique, 27th Century Boutique, The Edge and Shannon's Boutique.

Performances start at 8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow.

Tickets $55, are available at www.bdatix.bm, The iStore, All Wrapped Up and Fabulous Fashions and at the door.
