An Extraordinary Journey in Hypnosis and Showbiz

Born Alex William Smith on August 13, 1975, into a traveling showbiz family with Gandey’s Circus, Alex made his stage debut at the tender age of 3 as Flap the Clown. This early introduction to performing set the foundation for what would become a lifelong career of excellence in the hypnotic arts.

At just 14 years old, using his former stage name Alex-Leroy, he achieved the remarkable milestone of becoming the youngest-ever Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist registered with the prestigious Association of Professional Hypnotherapists & Psychotherapists (APHP). This pivotal moment began a lifelong dedication to hypnotherapy, stage hypnosis, and mentoring future practitioners.

Professional Accomplishments and Milestones Include:

  • Early Mentorship and Stage Hypnosis Success: At age 15, Alex began performing stage hypnosis shows and was personally mentored by the late Gordon Mee, also known as Delavar the Hypnotist. This invaluable mentorship can be seen in this historic YouTube video.
