It's been some time since I updated this blog, but let me bring you up to speed. I am currently in Vancouver Washington getting ready to do my 7th after grad party. These shows are a lot of fun but do come with some crazy hours.

My first show was in Coquitlam BC and as you can see the bus was parked in front of the main doors of the school. What a great show the kids where so into the show we had about 20 of the hypnotized and of course doing some crazy hypnotic things.

Looking at my schedule, I am so glad I have had time off during the first part of the year as it is none stop now till the end of November. So check out this blog weekly for updates and see where I have been and gone.

Iqaluit Nunavut

2009-04-26T07:54:00.000-07:00

Just got back from Iqaluit and spent the last 4 days in this artic outpost entertaining the locals. This has been my 3rd trip in the last 4 years to this incredible place and nothing has changed. The locals are still smiling and happy even thou the weather is always COLD! You either like it or you don’t, living and working here is not for everyone.

Iqaluit Nunavut, is situated at the northeast head of Forbisher Bay, on southern Baffin Island. In an area long used by the Inuit and their ancestors, it is surrounded by hills close to the Sylvia Grinnell River and looks across the bay to the mountains of the Meta Incognita Peninsula. It is the capital and the largest community in Canada's newest territory, Nunavut. It is also its only city.

After 3 fun shows and a long plane ride back to Calgary I am now getting ready to go back to San Francisco to visit with Julie’s family and pick up the tour bus and start the 2009 grad session.

Life on the road…

Life is good In Florence Arizona

2009-04-01T09:22:00.000-07:00

We have been traveling and having fun along the way to California stopping in Florence AZ for Country Thunder, a 4 day music festival starring Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw and of course Julies new favorite band Zac Brown.

This will be the first of 3 festivals this year and I do not have to work this one :) so we will be having lots of late night fun partying with everyone. We are very excited as we no the promoters of this event and they parked our tour bus back stage with comp all access passes. That means lots of fun, pictures coming soon.

Vacation in Fort Lauderdale

2009-02-27T08:56:00.000-08:00

We have been doing all the tourist stuff while in Fort Lauderdale and by far the best so far was last night when we took the Jungle Queen River boat and BBQ tour.

It took us on a hour long boat ride thought the river channels of Fort Lauderdale checking out some amazing houses, with there million dollar + yachts docked on their back lawns (amazing amount of money).

We ended up on the jungle island where we got to eat all you can ribs, bbq chicken, shrimp and of course lots of baked beans. After dinner we got treated to a show, and yes check out the picture, Julie was picked from the crowd to participate in the show LOL. We both recommend this tour and thank our new buddy Alfonso the juggler who got us tickets for this fun night. www.junglequeen.com.

Today we went to South Beach in Miami via a boat ride from Fort Lauderdale thru Florida's
amazing intercoastal water ways. This trip took 2 1/2 hours and was well worth it as traffic in Miami is crazy , not to mention finding a parking spot that would not break the bank.

While is south Beach we visited Miami Ink one of my daughters favorite TV shows and of course spent some time on the beach taking in the sun and the sights. By far the best beach was in Clearwater maybe because spring break had started ;) Really this is a great beach if you get the chance stop by and get a tan.

Our trip to Florida is coming to a end and we are now moving on and making our way to California via Huston TX and checking out Country Thunder a festival in Florence, AZ. This makes Julie happy as her favorite band is playing the ZAC BROWN BAND.

Leaving the Gulf coast

2009-02-21T10:21:00.000-08:00

We have spent a week exploring the golf side of Florida and our next stop will be Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic side. During this week we did lots of things from going to the dog beach with Max and Jazz and taking in the sites. The dogs loved the ocean and Max would not get out of the water.

We also took a airboat tour in the everglades as you can see from the picture we had lots of fun :) we saw lots of alligators along the road and Julie did not want me to stop the car, not sure why.

We got to see Ty Pennington say "move that bus" as he opened a new casino in Immokalee FL. We waited for a hour in the hot sun, was it worth it? Lets say I would not do it again. Both julie and I are looking forward to moving our own bus as we have been here now for a month now.

My next blog will include lots of great pictures of Florida

Collier County Fair - Naples

2009-02-16T05:27:00.000-08:00

My first fair for 2009 has come to a end and I now start a 5 week vacation. I will first explore Fort Lauderdale Fl and then several other places in the sunshine state.

As for the fair both Julie and I had a great time and we have been invited back for 2010. I had some great people on my stage and would like to thank all that attended my shows. As for Ruben the crazy Mexican sound man "Good Job" it's always nice to work with someone who knows what to do when it comes to sound.

Ron's son what can I say! Watch the video, you was hypnotized and I know you will be in denial for the rest of your life but just enjoy the moment and check out those books I told you about :) It's time to pack up the bus and start my vacation.

Till my next blog

Help Stop Drinking and Driving Free MP3 Download

2009-02-16T05:26:00.001-08:00

Is it safe to operate a vehicle with any amount of alcohol in your system even if below the legal limits? No matter how small the amount of alcohol consumed, research has shown there are effects on the body. Don’t worry. I am not going to preach against drinking. Whether someone of legal age drinks or not is none of my business. I am going to talk about drinking and driving though because that might effect me or my family, friends and our community. And it is not just driving cars and motorcycles but also boats, jet skies, bicycles, anything that moves while you are driving under the influence of alcohol.

BECAUSE YOU CANNOT OPERATE EQUIPMENT SAFELY WHEN DRINKING, REGARDLESS OF HOW IT SEEMS AT THE TIME

But still, you might ask, what is wrong with a couple of drinks for the road? The answers may surprise you.

BECAUSE DRINKING AND DRIVING IS AGAINST THE LAW AND IT KILLS

Therefor I have created a FREE MP3 Download from my website, so if you know anyone that this CD may help please give them my link www.terranceb.ca and maybe we can save a life.

In Florida

2009-01-31T05:39:00.000-08:00

This will be by far my busiest year to date, with 14 fairs to do it will keep us hopping all over the US and Canada. We have taken on 9 new fairs which of course will take us to 9 new places on our travels.

Right now we are parked with the tour bus in Naples Florida getting ready to start a 10 day fair, it's 6 days away so this gives us some time to explore. Yesterday we went to the beach and took in the sunset (amazing)

That's me with my feet in the sand. We will now follow the sun right till mid November and this makes Julie very happy.

This year we are going to introduce Jazz to the world of being a entertainer. She is only 3 years old but I think she can come out on stage and hypnotize. Max is 4 and he's already getting tired :) both dogs are amazing and both love life on the road.

Till next time have fun and be happy....

2009 Whats in store for the show?

2009-01-01T13:41:00.000-08:00

My 2009 calendar is now posted and it will be updated as the year goes on. I will keep this blog going for the new year and keep you updated on my 2009 tour.

I spent Christmas with my family in Calgary and boy was it cold (-40) was one of the coldest days, it barely got above freezing. That been said, I am now in Northern California spending time with Julies family for the next week, then onto Sacramento to catch a plane to South Carolina for a trade show.

How stupid is this! I fly back too Sacramento only to start driving across the country to go back to Ladson SC to pick up the tour bus and then head to Naples Florida only to catch another plane back to Calgary for the first off 4 Think and Be Thin seminars. That's life on the road but I love it all the same.

Hoping your new year is as exciting as mine. Terrance

The Year End

2008-11-28T06:56:00.000-08:00

We are now back in Calgary and it's how I remember it this time of the year COLD. Both Julie and I enjoyed our long summer tour not only did we get to visit some amazing places but met some great people along the way. Thanks for all the memories!

What is next for the Terrance B show? We are working every weekend now until Christmas. Can I say that word? Yes I can, because I believe in the spirit of Christmas. I still believe there is a Santa don't you?

I am also in the recording studio revamping all my self help CD's and look out for my new one Don't Drink and Drive Cd which will be free for all for download soon on my website.

Come the first of the year we will be heading out to Florida to start seminars on the Think and Be Thin program and will also be doing a fair in Naples FL. The coming year is looking great we have added a couple of new venues Craven Country Festival in July and Medicine Hat Exhibition also in July. In August look for us at The Twin Falls County Fair & Magic Valley Stampede in Twin Falls ID. My calender changes all the time so check out the updated version on my website.

Have a great Christmas and New year from my family to yours all the best.

Hypnotist Terrance B Where are you?

2008-10-15T11:56:00.000-07:00

Wow! it's been awhile since I updated this blog. So what have I been up to and where am I now?

OK, the last fair I did was the Dixie Classic in SC which finished October 12th, and it was a little slower this year compared to last year. We had rain for 2 days which puts a damper on the whole fair, but show attendance was good.

We worked with some fun entertainers this year. Brad from Agricadabra a magic show for kids, Washboard Willy and Wanda a walk about musical act, Zack the crazy pig racing guy, and many more. Looking forward to seeing you guys again on the road soon.

We are now in Nashville attending a conference this will be our first time and we are looking forward to it. We plan to stay for a extra week for a mini vacation and explore this amazing city.

On the road again

Eastern Idaho State Fair

2008-09-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

It's September and it is quite cool here with a average day time temperature around 70 degrees and it cools off to about 55 at night, but it does not stop the fair goers from coming out. I have two shows a day and I must say the locals love hypnosis here :). I only take 14 people on stage at a time but have so many people to choose from. The shows have been so much fun and everyone is so expressive on stage which makes it so much funnier.

The sound crew Derk, Troy and Kirk are one of the best crews I have worked with along with the stage managers Elaine and Carol who always make sure they have fresh baked cookies before I go on stage. You guys are the best! I have met so many wonderful people here and made some new friends and would perform at this fair anytime.

I now have three weeks off before Winston-Salem for a 10 day fair. On my way I will stop and say hello to Hypnotist Tyzen and Washboard Willy and Wishboard Wanda who are playing at the Utah State Fair. Looking forward to some R&R. See you guys soon.

I will post some pictures from my 3 week vacation...stay tuned, the year is not over yet.

North Idaho Fair Part 2

2008-08-25T06:50:00.000-07:00

It's the day after the fair and I have a few days off before heading out to Blackfoot ID for the weekend. This was my first time at this fair and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It rained for the first few days and I even got hail in the middle of one of my shows (Ouch). All in all the crowds showed up for every show and I had a lot of fun. The picture on the left was taken by Dilip who is from India and is vacationing in the US until September. He actually ended up on my stage and got hypnotized. You can read his blog about his experience here http://dcubed.blogspot.com/2008/08/try-climbing-into-hat.html.

We will be passing thru Missoula MT and spending a few days with friends and fellow entertainer Sean Watson before he heads out to his next fair in Hamilton MT. So far it has been a long summer and I am looking forward to a 3 week vacation after my next fair.

It has been confirmed I will be back in Winnipeg next year for a repeat performance at the 2009 fair. I have also added a new 10 day fair in Feb 2009 in Naples Florida.

On the road again Terrance.

What a great 6 days at the Ex.

This is a great fair for anyone to visit with lots of free entertainment on the grounds. I got to work with a good friend Sean Watson Illusionist and magician and our show complimented each other. I will see you in Idaho at our next fair buddy.

Thanks to all the great crowds who came out for the show and again nice to see some old friends from the past. Dan you crazy guy who was around when I first got into hypnosis over 15 years ago and showed up out of the blue. Sorry about making you into Cher :) but you looked great! Enjoy the DVD of the show.

I am now off to Calgary for a few days to visit family and the will be heading out to
Coeur d"Alene, ID for the next fair.
