The Stage Hypnotist

 

  When the stage hypnotist picks people from the audience, he will quickly test his subjects for suggestibility.  Have them breath in and out and follow other simple instructions.  If they don't readily do what he tells them to he rejects them and sends them back to their seat.  Once all subjects are selected, usually about a dozen or so, he then builds mental expectancy. “Put on a good show”, he says “This is entertainment, play along, have fun!”

  As the show proceeds, you’ll notice that more and more people drop out and look as though they are sleeping, and he ignores them. Why? Because they are rejecting his suggestions! They don’t want to play anymore!  They will not do what he's telling them to do.

  So you see, even the stage hypnotist can't make you do things.  I work really hard in my office so people won't reject my suggestions, and those are suggestions that will help them!  Believe me, you are in more control of yourself when hypnotized, not less.

 “At the count of 3, stand up, drop your pants and sing us a song."
Ah… I don’t think so!
