In 2008, Auckland saw the launch of a world-first show, called Two-and-a-Half Hypnotists, with Wesley and Dave Upfold, the father-and-son performers, and introducing Wesley’s son, four-year-old Nathan Upfold, the youngest hypnotist in the world.
He amazes the audience with his control, as he says, “Watch my finger, and SLEEP!”, and twenty subjects on stage go to sleep. Nathan already has a following, having been featured on Campbell Live in 2008, and appears in the press and on You Tube.
