Are you ten years old? Are you afraid of riding in elevators, getting haircuts, vaccinations, certain constellations, do you get motion sickness while walking, and can't stand sweeping? Or do you have other strange fears? Welcome to a session with Hypnosis Ivanovich! He can even hypnotize a boa constrictor.

He will introduce you to Bela Voronovna, summon gnomes and salamanders from the astral plane.

And along the way, he will help you deal with elevators and other fears. You will never forget him, even when you grow up.
