Worlds Only Blind Hypnotist Set To Perform At The Utah School For The Deaf And Blind Aussie Fest Fundraiser

    SALT LAKE CITY, UT, February 10, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Paulsen will be performing at U.S.D.B. in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 3rd, one show only. All Proceeds will go to the school's study abroad program. "This year we are offering Study Abroad Australia. We will be visiting two schools in Australia; one in Sydney and one in Adelaide." Said Robbin Clark coordinator of the program

There are six students enrolled in the program from all over Utah. They complete weekly assignments and projects from January to March. They apply for the program with an application process similar to a college scholarship, which allows the students to practice their skills for college.

The focus of the Study Abroad Australia program is to develop skills for independence as a young adult with vision impairment. Their weekly projects have students explore assistive technology solutions, mentoring sessions with young adults with vision impairments, orientation & mobility skills and social skills. We work with the students & their families and staff in Australia. In Australia, the students will travel the city, live in an apartment and interact with their Aussie student friends. They will work at the school for the blind in Adelaide.

Paulsen's hypnosis shows are one of a kind, and his performance, despite his blindness, is amazing. People who witness his shows are completely astonished by his skill and are in the dark about his disability.

Originally from a small town in Utah, Shawn is one of the fast-rising Comedians / Hypnotists of the 21st century. His high-energy thoughts on family, Work, and humor, as well as watching his subjects on stage, leave many an audience rolling in the aisles!

Shawn was a Police Officer for ten years before he realized that he did not fit the COP profile. With a dislike for doughnuts and coffee and a unique ability to make people laugh while dealing with the public, he was soon outcast by his peers.

Shawn soon realized that Being a Cop and Being a Comedian / Hypnotist is the same job... Either way, he gets paid to mess with people. However, he always makes sure that his subjects feel comfortable and have as good a time (if not a better time) than the people watching in the audience.

Aussie Fest Variety Show Fundraiser is full of food and entertainment and promises to be a fun experience for the whole family.
