About Me

I am a certified hypnotist and member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. I perform for colleges, high schools, corporate events, comedy clubs--you name it. I also operate a private practice at my home in New Hampshire. I enjoy the balance between using hypnotism to entertain and using it for personal growth and achievement. You can learn more about me and what I do at my website: http://www.paulramsay.com

My Interests

I love food and wine. Italian wine is my favorite. I can be seen now and then with Kit Kat bites, which is a guilty pleasure, but I usually prefer fine chocolate. I don't drink coffee at all, but I could drink chai every day. I want to learn to make furniture. I want to travel way more than I do. Mostly I just like learning. I'm happiest when I'm learning something new. That's how I get into new foods, wines, hobbies.

I'd like to meet:

The Dalai Lama, Cal Ripken Jr., Ellen DeGeneres, George Clooney, any of the actors from CSI Las Vegas or Deadwood.

Music:

James Taylor, Craig Werth, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Tim McGraw, Travis Tritt, Gretchen Wilson, Ravel's Bolero, and movie soundtracks. Don't know why, but I love listening to soundtracks from Braveheart, Road to Perdition, Dances with Wolves, The Thin Red Line, and a whole bunch more.

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, Rudy, Caddyshack, My Life, Wedding Crashers, and I have to admit that if I am flipping through the channels and Ghostbusters is on I stop and watch it every time. I can't help it.

Television:

CSI Las Vegas, House, Deadwood, Heroes, Lost, The Ultimate Fighter, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, Jericho.

Books:

East of Eden, The Art of Happiness, Unlimited Power, and all the Harry Potter books.

Heroes:

My parents, Cal Ripken Jr., the Dalai Lama.
