Bio

Dan Ladd, one of St. Louis' busiest hypnotist and mentalists, was born in De Soto, Missouri in 1963. Growing up in a small town, Ladd became fascinated at an early age by the mysteries of hypnosis and the powers of the subconscious mind. Studying everything on the subject he could get his hands on, Ladd quickly became known as an engaging performer. Also an accomplished mentalist, Ladd began performing in St. Louis area nightclubs and other venues in the early '80s.

Taking a hiatus from performing in the mid-80's Ladd continued his studies of hypnosis and received a certification in hypnotherapy while living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Upon his eventual return to the stage, Ladd quickly earned a reputation for amazing and hysterical performances. Now living in Collinsville, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Ladd performs for corporations, colleges, high schools and fairs, all across the Midwest and South.

Mixing hypnosis with demonstrations of mentalism and Thought Reading, Ladd will convulse an audience with laughter, or make them gasp in amazement as he leads them on a journey through the mysteries of human consciousness.
