    So any person can do it without training and endanger the public?

    Yes. In fact, if you are trained as a hypnotherapist and are a member of one of its reputable accrediting bodies then you are disallowed from doing stage hypnosis as a condition of membership.

    Personally I don't think there is much endanger to the public.

    Sounds dangerous to me!
    Imagine everyone walking into a scientology test and thinking "well, theres no harm, its only a little test/questionaire".
    Some things should be regulated or else people should be highly educated about it, so it doesnt become abused some day.
    The difference to me between a scientology introduction and the average stage show is intent and i suppose means of delivery,if you want to get picky.
    Just the first example that came to mind.

    But i still feel if the stage show is performed by a person with the same abilities in changing perceptions as a scientologist for an easy example, then they should be regulated as it is possible, one day intent will cause an issue.
    Maybe unlikely in large groups of people i admit.
