Comedy-Hypnotist

The Hardest Workin' Showman
In Vegas Two Showrooms

    Justin Tranz recently followed in the footsteps of James Brown and became the hardest working showman on The Strip when he accepted a deal to perform at the Flamingo Hilton's Bugsy's Celebrity Theatre at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays after he finishes up his 9 pm. show at Flamingo O'Shea's' Comedy Theater from Tuesday thru Saturday

    America Online's Entertainment Reviewer Cathy Scott recently  rated Justin Tranz' show as a five-star show along which literary means run, don't walk to see this show.

    The comedy-hypnotist headlines at the Flamingo O'Shea's Casino and the Flamingo Hilton putting his subjects into a trance-like state on stage nightly.

    Tranz said, "I went to a two year college called Cecil County Maryland and played basketball on a scholarship. I finished my degree in psychology from Vorheas University in South Carolina. All I did in collage was play basketball and study. After collage I moved home and opened up a janitorial business and was grossing $1.5 million a year. I had 20 to 30 employees in Lansdale. My heart wasn't in that business but it worked. Next I started doing hypnosis shows. My first time was for a sorority at Temple University.

    He said, "I took out an ad in the yellow pages and had a lot of clients. People wanted to lose weight and stop smoking. If I felt that someone really wanted to change I would work with him or her.  My success rate was helped when they came willingly and not by a member of the family. I was charging people $300 for three session up front. I worked with celebs from "American Gladiators' for their confidence, focus and concentration. I worked with people from the movie "Karate Kid" to help them be able to memorize their lines. I do very little practice now but have a CD called "Journey Into Your Mind." It tunes into your brain waves and you picture what it is that you want to do so can relax and focus in on what you want. Once you body and mind is relaxed you can achieve what you want."

    The 9 pm. shows at O'Shea's are R-rated. Tickets are $24.95 plus tax. The midnight shows are also R-rated at the Flamingo Hilton. You can see the show or be the show from Tuesday thru Saturday in the Comedy Theatre on the second floor of Flamingo O'Shea's Casino.


     "There's a new hypnotist in town and his name is Justin Tranz. You can see him at 7pm and at 10pm at O'Shea's between the Imperial Palace and the Flamingo Las Vegas in the 2nd floor theatre. The intimate O'Shea's Comedy Theatre appears to have been built for a hypnotic show. The Philadelphia native may become to hypnosis in Las Vegas what Lance Burton is to magic and Danny Gans is to voice impressionists.  The well-dressed entertainer moved to Las Vegas in 1992 and is getting his chance at the big time on the Strip. At $24.95 it's a deal."


    "A new hypnotist is packing them in nightly at O'Sheas's Casino across from Caesars Palace. Justin Tranz recently opened "Hip-Nosis: Playin' With Your Head" in the second floor theatre at the Magic and Movie Hall of Fame. The 7pm and 10pm shows are adult-oriented. It's hilarious to watch or to be onstage as part of the show. Las Vegas has needed a good hypnotic act since Marshall Sylver left The Strip. For tickets and information call 702-737-1343."


     "Hypnotist Justin Tranz is no ordinary performer. He's a first-class showman in one of Vegas' best theaters for an intimate hypnosis show. He stars in "Hip-Nosis: Playin' With Your Head" at O'Shea's Casino (across from Caesars Palace) in The Comedy Theatre.
