Scott Hammel
Workshop Presenter
Scott Hammell has been entertaining professionally since 1998. He started his career by performing at birthday parties. As Scott’s abilities as an entertainer quickly grew, word spread and he began performing for audiences of over 1000 people within two years of business. In school, Scott was known for his magic and encouragement from his peers led drew him to the idea of performing as a permanent career. Scott’s talent soon took him across the country and even down to Barbados to perform.
Scott attended Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute for high school. Scott was voted into Student Council by his peers every year. After meeting a very supportive activities director, who was determined that Scott was “more then just a busker”, he was encouraged to give motivational speaking a try. Several other wonderful teachers and friends soon saw that this fit Scott’s natural ability in front of an audience and his focus soon grew to pursue a career with motivational speaking as it’s base.
After not having a basis for his message, Scott decided that he would attempt to set a world record. With dozens of supporters, Scott began planning “Escape to Cloud Nine”. He suffered many major setbacks along the way. Fortunately, in the end things came together and at the age of 18, Scott set the world record for the “World’s Highest Suspension Straight Jacket Escape”. Scott’s breathtaking escape landed him on the season premier of the popular television show “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” and launched Scott’s speaking career and landed him several other television appearances.
Scott loves movies, music and most of all, hanging out with family and friends. He attributes his success to his family and his healthy lifestyle based around being alcohol, drug and cigarette free and being Vegan (consuming or using no animal products or byproducts).
One of Scott’s other businesses is called MindXTension. Scott does full production, comedy stage hypnosis shows and hypnotherapy. If you’d like more information on hypnosis or how you can have Scott entertain at your next event, please visit www.MindXTension.com
