Ormond McGill – Psychic Magic (1-6)

From 1947 to 1954?? McGill performed hypnotism and magic under the stage name of Dr. Zomb. His “Séance of Wonders” show featured horror-themed routines and costumed assistants typical of the midnight “Spook Shows” which were popular during that era.

In addition to his career as a world-traveling magician and stage hypnotist?? McGill was also a skilled hypnotherapist and a student of Eastern mysticism. He wrote somewhere between twenty-five and forty books (sources disagree on the total)?? including such titles as “Grieve No More Beloved” (about his afterlife contact with his deceased wife)?? “Hypnotism and Mysticism in India”?? and his autobiography?? “The Amazing Life of Ormond McGill”?? “The Encyclopedia of Genuine Stage Hypnotism” and a number of books with Hypnotist Tom Silver?? two of which are “The How To Book of Hypnotism” and “Hypnotism Training & Techniques Manual.”

Ormond McGill made many of his greatest insights in recent years. He has combined his profound mastery of many hypnotic techniques; his deep personal understanding of Eastern systems of meditation?? mysticism?? wisdom and healing; and his creativity?? vision?? compassion?? humor and life experience.

Known as “The Dean of American Hypnotism”?? Ormond McGill continued to teach courses and lecture right up until a few days before his death. He passed away on October 19?? 2005 in town where he was born – Palo Alto.

His best piece of advice?? “Make life your playground??
not your battlefield.”
