College Entertainer of the Year 2006!
Bio
Frederick Winters has performed over 2,000 shows and entertained
over 500,000 people!
Who best to tell you what it is all about than Frederick himself? So
we asked him to give us a brief description of what he is all about.
This is what he said…
So here's the scoop: I LOVE to "swing my watch for a good time."
OK, I don't actually use a watch but I sure have fun hypnotizing people.
You'll detect from the moment I'm introduced to the audience that there's
no place I'd rather be than on stage entertaining a college or corporate
crowd. But, more importantly, the CROWDS have a great time too! Thousands
of people have come up to me over the years and said, "I've never
laughed so hard in my life!" Wow... I can't imagine being told
anything better than that.
OH! Back to the bio... how did I become a hypnotist? I met a great hypnotist
when I was in college at Northwestern University in Chicago. I sort
of became his "sidekick" as he performed in Chicago doing
shows and workshops. His name is George Vaughn Lowther (THANK YOU, Vaughn).
He taught me tons about hypnosis AND performing it, too, and I'm truly
indebted to him. I started performing for small parties around Chicago,
then later at resorts and on cruise ships.
After getting my certification in hypnotherapy, I partnered with my
agents Scott Bass and Chris Schuler (Bass/Schuler Entertainment) around
1990 - and we never looked back! My performance calendar is out of sight.
200 shows annually. Whew! That translates into lots of air miles....
But I'm humbled daily by the great reviews and rebookings that come
my way.
Finally, people ask me, "How come you don't burn out with such
a heavy performance schedule?" It's like this: I love what I do.
I truly enjoy the advisors, students and executives who work with me
each day to insure a successful show - and I love demonstrating hypnosis
and the powers of the human mind to anyone who will watch! If I haven't
performed for YOUR school or company yet, I hope that you'll give me
that opportunity very soon.
Regards,
Frederick Winters
Need we say more?
Ok, we will.
Thank you so very much for once again being this week's biggest hit. In four years I have never seen Dows Theater so packed; you really are a magnet!
It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope you continue to share your gift with the Coe community for many more years!
Thank you.

This is the second time in a row that we have had Frederick Winters back on our campus. Once again it was a fantastic show. We had a much bigger crowd this time with people saying they have never laughed so hard in their entire lives! Frederick Winters was very polite and energetic. I loved every minute of it. Can't wait to see Frederick Winters again.

Frederick Winters was absolutely amazing!!! He put on a great show and everyone there loved him. We had a standing room only crowd, that's a first!

Thanks again for arranging for Frederick Winters to perform on our campus. He was incredible! Obviously, the students thoroughly enjoyed seeing their friends and classmates hypnotized, but they also enjoyed Frederick's personality. He kept the audience engaged, even while focusing the majority of his attention on the ones being hypnotized. Even though he performed just a few days ago, I have been asked already if he's returning next year.

I am a student at Springfield College in Illinois, where Mr. Winters performed his hypnosis/comedy act today. I was lucky enough to be a participant in the act and I would just like to share nothing but good words about my experience. It was like nothing I imagined. I am usually not the type of person to go in front of an audience, but a friend wanted me to, so I did it. I was worried that I would be tricked into doing things that I would regret, but it was all ethical and a great performance. I had a great time and Frederick Winters is a great act. I would recommend him to anyone!

A smash performance! We've NEVER had a crowd so blown away by
any other hypnotist as with Frederick Winters!
- Ohio Northern University
FREDERICK WINTERS kept the standing room only crowd in hysterics
for over two hours!
- University of Illinois Urbana, IL
Minot State has many hypnotists; FREDERICK WINTERS is definitely
the best. He had the audience in the palm of his hand for two full hours,
and he hypnotized so many students that there was not enough room for
them! Everyone is talking about him!

...the most entertaining show of every cruise. The ship's captain
and doctor (who barely spoke English!) were FREDERICK WINTERS biggest
fans!
- Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Miami, FL
FREDERICK WINTERS was a fantastic hit with our group.
We are still receiving calls and faxes from our customers about that
evening!
