Wayne Lee (born Jan UKNOWN, 19UNKNOWN) is a Canadian Motivational_speaker and Hypnotist. Lee's books include "Secrets of Success for Magicians and Stage Hypnotists", and "Life’s Magical Meanings".

Early Life[edit]

Lee was born in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. He was a five-time Canadian amateur wrestling champion.

Early Career[edit]

Lee completed a University degree in Education from the University of Alberta (?) in 19xx. He went on to be a school teacher. Lee's fascination with magic led him to learning the trade, eventually working part-time doing magic for parties and corporate functions. Upon attending a local club, Lee witnessed stage hypnosis and set out to learn for himself. Three months later he performed his first-ever hypnosis show on amateur night at a local bar.

Professional Stage Hypnotist[edit]

In 1996 Lee left teaching altogether to pursue professional Stage Hynosis full-time. Since then he has performed over 2,500 shows across Canada and the United States. Through these performances he has hypnotized over 25,000 people.

Lee's performance entails selecting audience members to volunteer to be hypnotized. Subsequently Lee will have these participants dance outrageously, act like celebrities, and other entertaining acts. Towards the conclusion there is usually a motivational message about the power of one's mind.

Lee uses stage hypnosis to show crowds how powerful participants' minds were to act outrageously, then draws a parallel, explaining that the mind can be just as powerful when directed towards relationships, money, career, or other life endeavours.

Lee's goal is to perform on the Las Vegas strip.

Seminars[edit]

Lee conducts Stage Hypnosis shows including his Ignite the MAGIC Within (IMW) workshop and his Live the Laughter: A Comedic Hypnosis Show (LtL) comedic entertainment show.

It was featured at the Montreal World Film Festival, the Calgary International Film Festival, the New York International & Independent Film and Video Festival, and the Golden Gate Fiction & Documentary Festival.
