Berman learned hypnosis during his days as a graduate student and became a night club hypnotist for over 30 years in San Diego and then Las Vegas. Berman also produced educational cassettes and LP vinyl[8] records on how to practice self-hypnosis. In addition to making appearances on Hugh Hefner’s television show Playboy Penthouse and on Sunnup with Frank Herman, Berman hypnotized and advised Ken Norton, one of the few boxers to defeat Muhammad Ali.[9]
