Totally dorky fun. It's like knowing all the actors who played Doctor Who- not all that necessary but edifying in its' own geeky way. The hypnotic induction, sterotypically the counting backwards and the ‘you are feeling sleepy’ patter, helps but is not necessary.

I can act like a retard without some random guy waving his hands in my face and grabbing my arm and pulling me about, thank you very much. Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to cluck like a chicken at my coworkers until they tell me to sod off and let them get some work done. Suckers.

He makes people do pervy stuff and isn't that nice. However, not all of them are like that. It is quite cool to see somebody hypnotised for the first time but just make sure that the hypnotist isn't a dickhead if you want to go up yourself. I wouldn't like hypnotising on a stage to be honest... it's too... I dunno... amateur, I guess. I would rather be doing much more with what I know. @SGC:

It feels like it is. All quiet when Derren's not out and about isnt it?! Risotto nearly ready. No I am not having my dinner, I certainly am not having my supper.

On the other hand, stage hypnotists are a bit disturbing and mildly scary. Still, I don't have to volunteer. And if he bothers me, I can abreact right in his face!

Whether you really can achieve more things in that state than in other states ... that\'s the question ofcourse .. and also, what a person will tell while being hypnotized ... not all will tell the truth .. they will feel as if going into their fantasy land ... And doing weird things .... ehehehe .... some dont dislike being in that state ... especially not when you do have an excuse as being hypnotized ... It will work different on younger people than on older people I guess. People while working behind pc\'s are more easy to \'hypnotize\', but be aware of those who keep their real mind in the back ... who keep observing ... They will get you back if you try something not so nice ... Yes, this is a slightly different technique ... people seem to split up when others use this technique on them .. The users call it socializing ... Oh well ... ehehehe ...

Dressed us as 'hypnosis' all it is, is people playing along. This is why when a stage hypnotist brings up so many people at the start and get rid of people 'who are not susceptical' i.e. who wont paly along. good fun tho in the right performers hand!! haha…accepted that its all just entertainment, nothing more or less.
