The Wand Enterprises Story
On August 8, 2022, the world lost a true pioneer in the world of entertainment, Jim Wand, revered as one of the "GOATs" in the stage hypnosis field. As the founder of Wand Enterprises, Jim represented a diverse array of talents, including hypnotists, mentalists, ventriloquists, comedians, and magicians. Jim's illustrious career spanned over 35 years and boasted over 12,000 professional engagements, earning him international acclaim as one of the foremost hypnotic entertainers. His performances spanned every U.S. state and ten foreign countries, often revisiting many for multiple engagements. Beyond the stage, Jim was also a recognized expert in personal and group motivation, and successfully ran a hypnosis practice employing three full-time hypnotists in addition to himself for eight years. Jim's profound impact was felt by all who knew him and those who were moved by his performances and motivational work. He is deeply missed. Fulfilling Jim’s wish, Wand Enterprises will continue to thrive under the guidance of performers handpicked by Jim himself, ensuring the legacy of quality and excellence he set. Kenda Wand, Jim's wife, along with her team, are committed to upholding the exceptional standard of professionalism that clients of Wand Enterprises have come to expect, both longstanding and new. At Wand Enterprises, we remain dedicated to maintaining the high standards Jim set, delivering performances that embody the quality and passion he represented. Jim's impact was profound, and though he is greatly missed, his spirit lives on in every performance and in the lives of those he touched.

Your show was once again amazing, amusing, and hilarious!
West Aurora High School
The show was great! The audience was so engaged in the show and it was wonderful to see a “performer” such as Jim Wand captivating the entire room. I have had so many people from the community say they would love to come back and see him again. I hope we can book another show in the future!
The Shore Event Centre
Your combination of professionalism, stage presence, and ability to improvise with whatever situation arose on stage was nothing short of impressive.

Just a few of the comments I’ve received after Jim Wand’s performance: “awesome”, “unbelievable”, “amazing”, “the best entertainment we’ve ever had”, “bring him back!”
The Buckle
The show is very interesting and is one of the largest events on our campus. We are looking into ways of accommodating more students at the event, since so many of our students wanted to see him perform. Our campus has used this performer for the last several years and has had great success.
Penn State Schuylkill University
His show is so entertaining because it is flat out funny! The situations of the students on stage and what they say to the suggestions is unpredictable, and I think the surprise of what is done really grabs you.
