BIO

Richard Barker is a world-renowned professional hypnotist, comedy stage hypnotist, media source, television personality, author and keynote speaker. He has spent the last 20 years entertaining audiences all over the world with his dazzling hypnosis show in 38 countries. As the Incredible Hypnotist, Richard brings his charm and experience to blow the minds of audiences, media professionals, celebrities and corporate clients. Offstage, Richard has improved the lives of countless clients that needed hypnosis to get over an obstacle, phobia or behavior. Using his Master’s Degree in Education, he is constantly helping others understand the true power of hypnosis.



Barker started his career in hypnosis as a member of the United Kingdom’s elite forces known as the Royal Green Jackets; a crack military organization. As a specialized soldier, he was trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and began his journey into hypnosis learning language negotiation and persuasion skills. After his military career, Richard expanded his hypnotic skills as a Police Detective; helping witnesses and criminals alike to recall information forgotten. It was also at this time that Barker started performing as much as he could to perfect his globally recognized comedy hypnosis show. It didn’t take long before the Incredible Hypnotist became a full-time performer, entertainer and trainer.

Now, the Incredible Hypnotist is a highly sought-after hypnotist that has been featured in countless media outlets and publications. Richard’s work can see been on: The Today Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, ET Entertainment Tonight, Reader’s Digest, Huffington Post, Glamour Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Marie Claire, US Weekly, Google Talks, Health Magazine, SELF Magazine, Men’s Fitness, InStyle Magazine, YouTube Creator Summit, CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, as well as many major news shows and publications across the globe.

Richard chooses to focus most of his efforts on comedy hypnosis performances because he feels it’s a marvelous introduction into the world of hypnosis. “I give the people a compelling, fascinating and entertaining entry into hypnosis and after that, they become curious as to what the mind can actually do.” Although he is a comedy stage hypnotist, Richard Barker constantly re-frames the entertainment aspect of hypnosis back to the hypothetical question, “What if hypnosis could help you with a health-related issue?”
