If thats so, why do people on stage bark like dogs and act like fools?
Have you ever known anyone personally that has gone on stage? The stage hypnotist plays with a bit of a stacked deck. Think about it… Who goes up on stage? Volunteers! Those are people who enjoy hamming it up. Heck, I’ll bet if you watch most of them volunteering, they were probably standing on their tippie-toes on their chairs saying “Me, me, me, me, me, me!!!!” They enjoy the attention! Chances are they might bark like a dog even if they weren’t hypnotized just to get a laugh! This is not meant to take anything away from stage-hypnotists – stage hypnotism is an extraordinary art that is difficult to master. But, in order to put ten to fifty subjects under trance in less than ten minutes, and then have them do entertaining things, it helps to have the right type of subjects.
