Marc Savard
August 27 - September 6 on the Familyville Stage
Imagine if you could get anybody to believe, do or say anything you wanted them to, just by talking to them. What if – just through the sound of your voice- you could cause people to believe you were completely invisible or that they found you irresistibly attractive? What if you knew the words that would command a room full of people...
...to shake off their inhibitions and take a walk on whatever side you wanted? While this may sound like fantasy to you, it is the everyday world of Marc Savard.
In Marc’s Live Hypnosis show, curious volunteers have the experience of their lives as they find themselves surrendering to the sound of Marc’s voice; doing, seeing and saying the wildest, most out-of-control things, in the world’s most chaotic show!
Please welcome Marc Savard NEW to the 2010 Oregon State Fair!!!
