senorwipesalot

A battered old transit van passed me twice today with a loudspeaker on the roof, ordering the general public to get to the local hotel to be hypnotised.

Well,have ya?

I was hypnotised just the other day by a gif of a pair of bouncing boobs.

Must've watched it for about 5 minutes.

No. Personally I think it's bollocks. Probably because it is actually complete bollocks.

It would definitely never work on me. My mind is far too powerful for any of that ****e.

Yes. I was hypnotized at college. Your completey aware during the whole.process. but open to suggestions.

When he said, your a washing machine I thought.he was mad, but then began spinning like one. I knew o was under his influence when he asked me to blindly fall back and I.did.

We went to a show last year and the hypnotist called up anyone who wanted to try. Half the audience went down and he got us to lie down and close our eyes. He told us to imagine we were at a beach and putting suncream on, then that we were out in the snow and we were really cold. After a couple more scenarios like this, he told some people to return to their seats and other people to stay there (obviously it wasn't working with some people). I did as he said and kept my eyes closed as all this was going on and was, of course, oblivious. He walked the remaining people onto the stage and got us to imagine things, like being on a motorbike or riding a horse.

Heh. Yeah. 'Imagine'. Basically, it had all happened quite quickly, so I thought we were just getting our imaginations warmed up. I was waiting for him to whip out the pendulum! Thought I'd be looking into his eyes and all that... Meanwhile, the rest of them had been fully hypnotised and genuinely thought they were motorbike riders and jockeys. It only clicked with me when he told us to shag our chairs.

There were about 6 of us left, and by then my very socially awkward don't-make-a-fuss side was already in control, so I told myself that if I just acted hypnotised, nobody would have a clue! Be grand! Of course my crap acting skills and red face did me no favours, and probably an hour later, having done anything from "watching a sexy porno" to "performing at the greatest ballet show of my life", I got to leave what was probably the most embarrassing night of my life...!!

So no, I haven't been hypnotised, and after that I don't think I'll ever try.. again...!

LETHAL LADY

Not hypnotised per say, but when I was 15 this softly spoken lady had a class full of young women practically out cold on gym mats with relaxation techniques. She was speaking to us for about an hour and even my being slightly hyper had started to pass out.

say_who_now?

Saw Paul McKenna perform when I was in college, split my sides laughing at people humping the stage floor and generally acting the tit...

And this was before the show even started! :pac:

A relative was hypnotised, which accidentally triggered him to seizure which left him spending a few weeks in hospital.

Well it does work for quite a few people for relaxation, giving up smoking etc with a trained professional. The stage type can work, as quite a number of people are both highly suggestible and eager to please authority and the group. In the hands of someone who knows how to manipulate that kinda thing he or she can get them to do all sorts of daftness. They're not "under" as such, just in a state of heightened suggestibility.

Really? And I presume he brought the hypnotist to court and won? I don't remember reading about this landmark case.

sebastianlieken

In college during Rag week before. the "hypnotist" hudled about 6 of us around in a circle and said "right lads, lets put on a bit of a show and get the crowd goin' yeah?!, it's all for charity now so ye'r all keen to play along yeah? - there's a pint each in it for ye afterwards

"

Which in my opinion.... is pretty damn effective mind control.

I do. It was in Preston, Lancs.

But, not a landmark case - whatever that is...

Yes! By the greatest cleavage ever across a pub table!

She wouldn't let me touch them tho

Boobs - man's kryptonite

Mr Benevolent

Everyone is in trance most of the time, waiting in a queue, staring into space, eating, drinking, reading, listening to music, on the internet - it's all trance. My favorite is shaking someone's hand - an instant trance induction.

That is hilarious. You poor bugger, I would have walked off the stage, or rolled off if you were lying down when you were just imagining the things that the others were acting out.

Was at a hypnotist many years ago in Galway in NUIG, and like that he got a tonne of people up on stage, and whittled them down to a few unfortunates.

Well, the stuff they had to do, no way were some of them pretending, anyways, he told them to sleep and dream about their inner most fantasy. He would put the mic up to them then and ask them to tell him what their fantasy was. I only remember two of them, one fella claimed he was running naked through the woods with The Smurfs. Got a good laugh that one, but the next one was bad, guy said he was having sex, and the hypnotist asked with who, and he replied "my sister"!!!!!!!!!!! I doubt that lad ever lived that down.

I paid 200 quid last year to see a hypnotist guy, and it didn't work on me, even though he's supposed to be one of the best in London. I don't think I'm relaxed enough and I think too much for it to work on me, but I do think it would work on some people.

I watched a live show a few years ago and the hypnotist had the volunteers act out their sexual fantasies on their chairs. He told them not to take their cloths off but it was funny, and a bit disturbing at the same time!

last Thurday....to go off the smokes

Without a doubt the easiest way to give up smoking, no cravings no stress just happy thoughts

No, and I never want to be either, for any reason. I prefer people not making a clown of me, and if I ever supposedly need it for health reasons I'll be avoiding it at all costs. I'd be fairly skeptical of it tbh.

I'd love to get it done just to see for myself.

I just know I'd make a twat of myself though.

He'd say dance and I'd be on stage humping a chair

Yes. As soon as these thread started (haven't even read it) I've been singing in my head everytime I see it:

Biggie, biggie can't you see sometimes your words just hypnotise me and I just love your flashy ways bla bla bla bla bla (don't know the rest)

I can remember an English case where some fella tried to say that Paul McKenna hypnotising him was responsible for his schizophrenia. Is that the case you're talking about? In that case, the court found that Paul McKenna's actions weren't responsible because the guy had schizophrenia beforehand. I'd be very surprised if any court recognised hypnotism as being responsible for one's actions.

At rag week in college years ago, a hypnotist got a few people on stage and hypnotised them to do the most ridiculous dancing they could when a certain tune came on. They all did and it was a good laugh etc. Then the hypnotist finished his bit and someone else came on, a comedian I think, and then someone else after that. It was a long show.

About 4 hours had passed since the hypnotist had been on. He was long gone at this stage. Everyone was pouring out the doors of the hall, and on the PA they played the tune that hypnotist had hypnotised the stupid dancing to. One of the volunteers started going at it hell for leather, knocking people down and elbowing people in the face. He was clearly still under the spell. He couldn't stop.

I was hypnotised the other day in the gym, when this lovely blonde girl came in and moved her bottom backwards and forwards in tight spandex
