Lap dancers are receiving assistance from a hypnotist to entice men into spending more on their enticing performances.
Club manager Jason Armitage enlisted entertainer Grant Saunders as revenue dipped during the recession.
At Cleopatra’s Lounge in Huddersfield, northern England, the dancers aspire to captivate customers, encouraging them to pay $16 for dances.
According to Mr. Saunders, 34, “They will implement a method known as anchoring. While a dancer engages with a man, whispering to him and lightly touching his shoulder or knee, his subconscious mind opens to suggestions.”
He clarified that nobody would be placed into a trance.
“It’s focused on enhancing their abilities as saleswomen,” Mr. Saunders explained, while Mr. Armitage added, “A few years back, my girls could earn $8000 weekly. Now, they’re fortunate to earn $800.”
Dancer Sabrina, 25, remarked, “I’m always open to learning something new.”
