Perfor ming since 1975, Jack's act was known as "Captain Jack & Archie", Police ventriloquist act. Jack & Archie dressed as police officers, in fact Jack was a police officer for over 30 years. Taking what went on in their everyday lives, the two, Dummy and Dummy talked about everything from traffic to people and what they did.
Seen by thousands of people from TV to fairs, to schools & colleges. In 1995, Jack who is a Master Hypnotist combined hypnosis with ventriloquism when the "string" broke". When that happened to fullfill the show he turned it into a hypnosis comedy show. Now today, the both are combined into a 90 minute comedy show. Get entertained by "Dr. Sleep" and have your guests be the stars.
This is a sample 19 minute video of a 90 minute show where to start out only one volunteer responded quickly. This shows that with even one person a show can be made.
First let me say that when we barter a hypnosis show, speaking engagement, motovational engaqgement, or any sports programs we provide the same top of the line, professional show that we give our full paying customers. The barter includes one (1) show unless we agree before hand on more than one. That said here is how it works. To qualify for a "barter" situation the following items are required:
The minimum barter/trade activity is always for at least two persons, I don't to travel alone. Hotel/motel accommodations are always part of the deal. Anything connected to the event or venue is included.
If you are a Hotel, Resort, or Trade Show, the trade includes hotel (always at the venue) and event activities etc.. If a food plan is offered to event participants then we expect that to be part of the barter.
If you are a resort (all inclusive) we typically understand that the air fare will be on us and not you. But the resort must be an all inclusive and again the comp must be for two persons. All our barter exchanges to date have been for resorts, I like vacations as much as anyone else, but that does not mean that other possibilities are not possible. So if you think this is something your organization, resort, hotel, or ship may have an interest in pursuing,either call or send an email, we are open to just about anything including lectures, speaking engagements, clinical engagements and more.
As an added noe,t I love the islands and anywhere else that is warm!
Captain Jack became a police officer in 1971 and retired from law enforcement in January 2011. Starting in ventriloquism in 1957, Jack in 1975 developed a safety program dealing with prescription drugs, hard drugs, stranger safety, bicycle safety, seat belt safety, bullying and many more topics, and used his talent as a ventriloquist to combine comedy and safety for these important topics.
Captain Jack has been seen nationwide on a number of children's TV shows and featured across the country on many national news shows from New York to Seattle, Washington. In the early part of the 1980's, Captain Jack & Archie were awarded the Govenor's award at the NJ State fair by Gov. Thomas Kean
Traveling nationwide, Captain Jack as performed these shows for hundreds of police agencies throughout the country. Children regardless of ages or handicaps have viewed these shows. In some cases, children have reported abuses that they have suffered to the police that accompany Captain Jack on their school visits.
While schools are the main focus of the shows, Captain Jack has performed before many venues, including police cruises, corporate events, camps, National Night Out, TV cable programming, business events, fund raisers, Fire departments and many more events.
Being the originator of this type of programming, and an actual police officer the shows have helped many a child, and their lasting impressions of the programs have been remembered by them into their married adult life.
For more information, please call Captain Jack & Archie and bring a new meaning to community relations to your town or city.
This video is just one news interview of many throughout the 37 years that Captain Jack has been performing, many from the major news stations in NY.
After the news spot is one of a number of TV shows on child safety produced by cable companies across the country as public service announcements.
Captain Jack, the only police officer on this scale to do these types of programs anywhere in the country.
Captin Jack and Officer Arhie safety shows have been seen nationwide, from coast to cost, and have entertained over 3 million children in his years of performing, and that's all during his days off from police work, sometimes even durng his vacation time.
Most of these shows are done in schools with local police along to answer questions from the kids.
The grades entertained range from K thru 5th, sometimes even 6th. The shows run anywhere from 45 mn. to an hour, and include audience partiicipation.
Even schools with special needs have found the shows educationl and entertaining. For more information call or email Captain Jack.
Captain Jack appeared at a number of schools throughout the Bronx and Manhatten representing NY's finest. Hundreds of children in these schools were educated and entertained on all aspects of drugs, safety, and strangers. Some New York officers even had their children attend the these safety shows. Here you can see a full page article written up in the NY Daily News, not to mention being on the front page with this one of a kind unique program.
Many schools in New Jersey and the tri-state area have had Captain Jack come back many times throughout the years.
This program is exeptionally uique because even adults that were children when they saw Captain Jack now have their children seeing him in school.
The impact is lasting because with comedy injected into the program they are able to retain what is learned longer then just talking or lecturing the children. I mean how many times have you seen a ventiloquist in a live show?

Mind sugesstions or better known as Hypnosis IS surprising and amazing! However, all hypnosis is self hypnosis and a safe and natural process. In reality, hypnosis is simply a deep relaxation of the physical body and the conscious mind, which brings about a slight relaxing of one's usual inhibitions. The subconscious mind remains clear, alert and focused. Hypnotic subjects are in no danger at any time. At all times during a performance, the volunteers are aware enough, at the conscious level of their minds, to reject a suggestion or even to leave the show, if they so desire.
Hypnotists do not have any magical power over their subjects. The truth is, what hypnotists have is knowledge and skill. Good hypnotists also have a quick sense of humor, strong intuition, powerful stage presence and soothing, rhythmic voices. Mix those skills with the power already inside the minds of the volunteers and that's magic enough...
This is a fun filled, fast paced show where everday comedy is introduced through mind sugesstions.
During the program the audience is made aware of the use of hypnosis not only in comedy, but counciling sessions.
WHAT IS THE COST OF A SHOW?
The cost varies between venues and items such as travel time, length of show and other factors have to bee taken into consideration.
IS HYPNOSIS SAFE?
Absouletly, I have been using hypnosis since 1995 in my sports hypnosis center, and it is completely safe. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and a deep state of relaxation where sugesstions are given and acted upon. Nobody can do anything against their will, religion, or moral beliefs.
DO I CARRY INSURANCE?
Yes, I carry $2,000,000 of liabilty insurance.
HOW LONG IS A SHOW?
A show usually runs from 60-90 minutes depending if I also include VENTRILOQUISM.
ARE PEOPLE IN CONTROL
Both are not only in control of themselves but are well managed
WILL I BE QUACKING LIKE A DUCK AFTER THE SHOW?
No. All sugesstions are removed prior to the next and at the end of the show all sugesstions are again null, void, and removed.
WILL WE ENJOY THE SHOW?
Absoulety, not only the audience, but the volunteers as well.
