- 23 Years Experience
For 23 years, Mark Anthony has worked with hypnosis from every angle: with thousands of clients in the quiet focus of one-to-one therapy sessions, and in front of hundreds of thousands of people from around the world as a stage hypnotist. Few trainers have seen it from both sides.
As a certified clinical hypnotist, Mark helps clients change the habits and patterns that hold them back. As a stage hypnotist, he has spent years reading people in seconds, building instant rapport and guiding volunteers into hypnosis in front of a crowd. As an NLP Master Practitioner, he brings a deep understanding of language and how people make change.
In 2026, Mark broke the world record for speed hypnosis at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, in front of thousands of people.
The Mark Anthony Method™ brings all of that experience together into one clear, practical structure, so you can learn in a day what took Mark years to refine.
His work has taken him from private client sessions to corporate events and cruise ships around the globe. He has worked with TV personalities and sportspeople, mums, dads and children, and with many people who came to him after other approaches hadn't worked, and left feeling like a different person.
Mark has appeared on TV and radio, and has been featured in newspapers and magazines talking about hypnosis. He is also the author of many books on hypnosis and the mind, as well as his autobiography, The Rogue Hypnotist.

FAQs
Questions, answered
Where is the hypnosis course held?
On the Gold Coast, Queensland, on Saturday 23 January 2027. The exact venue will be confirmed and emailed to everyone who books.
Do I need any hypnosis experience?
No. You do need suitable client-facing experience. The course is built for practitioners who already help people and want to add hypnosis.
Can I really learn this in one day?
You'll learn one structure and two inductions deeply, rather than a long list of techniques. With three hours of practice, a complete script library and supervision calls afterwards, you'll be ready for your first sessions.
Will I be hypnotised during the day?
Yes, as part of paired practice. You stay aware and in control, you work only with mild, everyday issues, and you can say "stop" at any time.
What times does the day run?
Arrive from 8:45am for a 9:00am start. The day finishes at about 5:30pm, with morning, lunch and afternoon breaks.
What happens after the course?
You'll run three practice sessions with friends or family, then join two group supervision calls in the first eight weeks to ask questions and build your confidence.
Are there more advanced courses?
Yes. This certification is the first step in The Mark Anthony Method™. Future advanced courses will cover areas such as fears and phobias, confidence, and more. Each course builds on the one before, so completing the previous course is a prerequisite for the next. If you haven't yet completed a prerequisite course, you can join one of the courses running throughout the year, or book a one-on-one session with Mark (an additional fee applies).
