Hypnotic Show Free With Toy

Brian Varano

Hypnotism and comedy go hand in hand at The Hypnotic Hurricane’s Toys for Tots fundraiser, thanks to Brian Varano.

“Everything has happened last minute. Everything kind of happened in six days,” admitted Varano, who resides in Mililani.

Better known as The Hypnotic Hurricane, Varano has been performing magic events in Hawaii and on the mainland for the past 20 years.

The comedy hypnosis show takes place Friday (Dec. 12) at 7 p.m. in Aiea High School’s cafeteria, which will be adorned with holiday cheer and a decorated tree. Santa Claus also will make an appearance, along with his helpful elves.

Aloha Thai Food truck will provide the food. Tickets cost $20 at the door, but unwrapped toy donations are encouraged for free admission. Children age 14 and under get in for free. Ticket price also includes a complimentary raffle ticket.

“Our sponsors are the key to this whole raffle,” said Varano. “They turned this from a show into an event.”

Sponsors include 808FORYOU.com, Three Little Birds Unique Home Furnishings, Squeeze Play, Sudz in a Bucket, Center for Natural Healing Hawaii, Deep Myo Massage, Alan’s Airbrush Connection, Judys Lovely Lashes, Aloha Thai Food, Secret Images Photography, the Darrell and Jen Wilcox family, the Mahealani Hubbard family, as well as a sponsor from the mainland (Walter Fraser and family).
