Would you be a participant in a hypnotists show if you had the chance?

I can tonight if I want to. I really want to bad, but I'm kind of scared. LOL

This guy is a pro. He asked me why I was hesitant. I told him if I wasn't "under" should I fake it? He said no, he would be able to tell. Some people can't be hypnotized. He would just say "This woman can't be hypnotized" and he'd ask for another volunteer. There would be several people on stage, not just me.

Would you do it? I can't decide.

Probably not, it would be interesting to watch the show but I would not want to be a participant. How do they choose them in advance?

I dated one a few times who used to do local shows, but I never participated in the shows. He was too weird for me. I read that he died several years ago, and he was a lot younger than me. Made me wonder what he died of.

I don't think I would be a good candidate.

Go for it.

mr henny and I were hypnotized in order to quit smoking. we were in a group of about fifty people. I thought it was probably just a hocus pocus thing, but it worked.

Tell the fellow that you are a willing candidate. ask him to give you a post hypnotic suggestion. Ie, not eathing too many junk foods, not being stressed by little things, doing a little exercise everyday. Nothing major, just a little thing. agree on it ahead of time.

Do you trust this person? I would never do it with someone I don't trust. Of course, it will be televised so that is your protection.... have you seen any of his past sessions? the ones he has done on tv?

Sure, why not? I have been a guinea pig for several human sports exercise physiology studies so this might be interesting for me.

I might, but I would be scared. I'd probably be someone that he couldn't snap out of it. Lol

No. I've seen numerous shows where the participant is told to do something strange and then they're laughed at. I don't like that when it happens to anyone.

That, and the fact that hypnosis doesn't work on me, I've tried it twice and it's a no go.

Only if I knew his plan. No way would I allow myself to cluck like a chicken for the amusement of an audience.

No. I would not want to embarrass myself in a room full of strangers.

I'd love to be hypnotized, but not in front of people or on TV.

I've been to one of those shows. There was a club in San Diego where a hypnotist performed and people would get up on the stage and act like farm animals or pretend that they were naked. I knew a couple of people that volunteered to go and knew they were faking it. The hypnotist didn't care; he was there to put on a show.

They told me it would be a "clean" show and not in bad taste. It will be in front of an audience, so I'm sure the show will be funny. I'm a good sport that way. I think I'm more scared that I won't really be hypnotized and I'll look foolish. He did say some people can't be hypnotized and that is normal.

I don't think they are choosing everyone in advance. I am friends with the general manager of the place where they are having it. I told him a couple weeks ago I really wanted to do it. I didn't think anything would come of it. Well the GM told me I could do it if I wanted to. Now I'm chickening out. But I really want to! LOL

I would go to a hypnotist,but privately, not in front of an audience.

I think it would be a lot of fun! Let us know how it works. You can scratch something off your bucket list!

I knew someone who was a professional hypnotist for a law enforcement agency. When called upon he would hypnotize someone who could not remember details of an incident due to fears that blocked their memory.

Some people are good candidates because they are more able to accept suggestion. Others can't be hypnotized for the same reasons. Unable to accept suggestion.

In his profession children were easier to accept suggestion.

He demonstrated with some adults in our class but not for amusement. A good hypnotist will suggest that you don't remember what you said/did while ""under"". It prevents harmful thoughts from recurring.
