Pickpocketing and hypnosis would be awsome
Also if to my knowledge nobody at theory 11 does hypnosis.

They cant do hypnosis because they dont have the rights to teach that. Hypnosis is actually a type of medicine and research source. You have to be certified to do it in most countries and in the US most of the states dont allow hypnotizing without a professional or you being a professional.

Your understanding of hypnosis is pretty misguided. It's not nearly as regulated as you say. In fact, many of the certified courses available on the subject are merely self-proclaimed and over-hyped. To my own knowledge, there is no legitimate law saying you need to be certified to perform hypnosis for entertainment. In fact, it is popular knowledge in the hypnosis community, that a certification is nothing more than a piece of paper to show alleged 'feel-good credentials' for potential clients. I know several hypnotists who simply took at-home study courses and proclaimed themselves professionals for the rest of their careers.
I speak from experience as well. I've actually been incorporating hypnosis into my mentalism act pretty steadily in the past year to much success. I can assure you that it's is perfectly legal within the states and much simpler to learn than you would probably expect. There are numerous misconceptions about what hypnosis actually is. Unfortunately, these misconceptions make people believe that it is a dangerous and sensitive practice. With common sense and proper management (like any performance art), the insanely small risk inherent in hypnosis is easily mitigated.
RS.
I wasnt really talking about the learning and doing part but the teaching part.
Hypnosis and medicine. Yeah right..
You can gain a deeper insight onto 'Hypnosis' just by picking up Derren brown's book. Medicinal purposes- sure. Only the 'placebo' side of it, but not in its entirety.
in b4 closing;
I wouldn't think a licensed company can sell the means of an illegal act.
I mean, to me, it doesn't make sense. Although, like aforementioned, DVD's are out...
