STAGE hypnotist Dave Knight may be telling whoppers by claiming he can make women’s boobs bigger, according to experts.
The North hypnotherapist says all women need do to get bigger breasts is listen to his CD . . . and he even gives a 100pc money back guarantee.
If his claims were true, women would be able to think themselves into having fulsome figures like that of glamour model Sophie Read.
Mr Knight’s remarkable claims come under the microscope in the new series of Inside Out, which starts this week, when presenter Chris Jackson decides to lift the lid on the world of hypnotherapy.
Together with his 10-strong investigative team, he shows how easy it is to set yourself up as an “accredited” hypnotherapist with absolutely no qualifications.
The investigation shows that while there are several hypnotherapy organisations, none of them are regulated by law and there are no standard qualifications.
When they investigate Mr Knight’s claims, they play a small section of his CD, in which the Northallerton hypnotherapist can be heard saying: “Your breasts are growing . . . growing larger now.”
He tells Inside Out that his figure is based on his own customer feedback and a study of 22 women carried out in the 1970s.
Chris said: “Mr Knight says his CD is 85% successful growing women’s breasts and given he’s made thousands from it, I wanted to find out exactly what evidence he has to back up his claim.”
Mr Knight claims women actually grow their own breasts with their minds, although the show meets an expert who says there is no research to show hypnosis can make boobs bigger.
Mr Knight said: “Every lady’s breasts today have been grown by the mind. The mind grows it, so the mind can enhance it. Fact.”
They also meet a hypnotist who claims to be able to help people stop smoking.
George McNaney from East Rainton, near Sunderland, is a self-proclaimed “hypnotist to the stars” who claims an “up to 90%” success rate for treating smokers using hypnotherapy techniques, for a one-off payment of £129.
