From an early age, Eric Ha was captivated by the mysterious and unexplainable. His journey into the world of magic and hypnosis is not just a story of curiosity, but also one of self-discovery and personal growth.
Eric’s love for magic began when he was only 8 years old. Inspired by Master Magician Mark Wilson’s show that aired during the Three Stooges, young Eric found himself drawn to the art of illusion. This early fascination sparked a lifelong passion that would shape his future in ways unimaginable.
Around the same time, at age 11, Eric delved into the realms of hypnosis and meditation. These practices offered him a unique approach to managing his ADHD. Through meditation, he gained control over his condition, transforming what could have been a hindrance into a strength.
His exploration into hypnosis wasn’t without its mishaps though. A notable incident occurred in 6th grade when he hypnotized a fellow student on their school bus who didn’t immediately snap out of trance. Despite this causing some consternation among school authorities, it did nothing to deter Eric from his path.
Simultaneously, Eric developed an interest in I Ching, which led him further down the rabbit hole into various occult studies and divination systems including astrology, palmistry, tarot reading, scrying (crystal ball gazing), pendulums usage, numerology among others. This diverse knowledge base would later lend depth to his performances as a magician.
Initially performing stage magic as a teenager, Eric transitioned to parlor and close-up magic at around age 18. His performances became more intimate, allowing him to engage his audience on a deeper level.
At age 25, Eric achieved something remarkable. He completed the “trainer’s training” certification in neurolinguistic programming (NLP) faster than anyone had ever done before. From novice to someone who trained the trainers, Eric’s journey took less than a year – a testament to his dedication and talent.
In the same year, he also received certification as a master hypnotist from the National Hypnotist Guild, further cementing his credentials in this field.
Two years later, at age 27, Eric became a certified life coach. Drawing from his experiences and expertise in hypnosis and NLP, he now helps others navigate their own paths towards self-improvement and personal growth.
Eric Ha’s story is one of relentless pursuit of knowledge and mastery over mind-altering arts. His journey from a child fascinated by magic shows to becoming an accomplished magician, master hypnotist, NLP trainer and life coach is truly inspiring. It serves as a reminder that with passion and determination, we can turn our curiosities into our strengths.
