If you were to attend a stage presentation, which scenario would you prefer?
Scenario 1:
Presenter goes on stage and say Hi and then introduce himself, talks a bit more and go right into the subject.
Scenario 2:
There are smokes coming from the top and bottom of the stage. You can see someone walks to the centre of stage. The person starts drawing something on a big flip chart. When the smoke subsides, you see a big face crazy frog smiling at you. He then asks the audience a question.
What is your preference? I bet you would have chosen scenario 2. Why?
– it is unique, unlike the usual boring way of presenting.
– audience would feel curious and want to find out more. This gets their attention.
– The presenter asks a question: is my drawing funny? It engages the audience and they must come up with either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer
The presenter has got the audience’s attention from the start – isn’t this hypnosis?
