| - Bottom Line:
Show is affordable, and, acting volunteers, or not, I haven't laughed so hard with eyes tearing in a while!! Well done Mr. Savard.
The Skinny:
Walking into the miracle of mile shops there was an "information" desk who gifted me 6 free tickets for admission to the hypnotist show. I'm always intrigued by hypnotists..especially of the comedic variety, fond memories of Flip Orley back east. We meandered over to the theater n learn the free section is sold out. Bummer. The map she showed was a huge auditorium(optical illusion??), we opt for VIP seating for $16/seat. Good thing was we could arrive 5min before show as we now have assigned seats. Bonus
Arriving a few minutes before show time the line is huge, but with reserved seating we're good. Inside we see our seats are pretty good, maybe 15th row back. VIP! And second row from the back. Huh? Where's all the free GA section? Vegas Scam! Ha. Maybe the freebies were off to the sides. Sure their view is a bit worse, but the theater is small, not really a bad seat in the house.
My beautiful girlfriend was among the ~30 volunteers on stage. She made it through the first few 'tests' but fell out of trance and joined me in the audience. She fully believed the others were in trance, they wouldn't make eye contact, and with the stunts they were pulling off they must have been! Perhaps it was a combination of being on stage and wanting to be perform, either way, we, the audience loved it.
Rather than give any spoilers on the contents, just know it's more PG-17 than PG/G. You Tube has some clips, though I found the live performance 100x better.
Tip:
Don't forget to shake the volunteers hands before the leave the bldg, you, and they, will have a nice surprise
