Seating will be at 7:30 p.m. for a pre-show buffet dinner, or 8 p.m. for the cocktails-only show. A capacity crowd of 450 to 500 is planned each evening, and the show will be staged in the Hawai'i Ballroom area in smaller configurations.

Mr. Hypnotist is a 20-year show-biz veteran, with credits on TV and in clubs. He has appeared as a stand-up comic, has done some acting and has also performed in Vegas main room spectacles.
