After scoring some last minutes tickets to Hypnosis Gone Wild, I was definitely curious about what the night would entail.
It's open seating at this event for the most part and we were seated center staged. Depending on the night, you'll get either Terry Stokes or Michael Johns.
After a few entertaining laughs, the hypnotist will start gathering audience members to join him onstage to see if they can get hypnotized. The night we went, it took a little while for volunteers to get up there.
As he does his little monologue to start the hypnosis process, you can start looking around the audience members and you'll notice a couple of people fade out too. He'll end up choosing those that have fallen the hardest and begin 'suggesting' different scenarios for the volunteers.
I don't want to give away all the details, but I was definitely laughing. There's always at least one person who really falls hard and you can't believe what people will do up there!
The downside is that if you volunteer and you're chosen, you're on stage the whole time. The only way for you to see what happened is to buy the DVD from that performance. And for your sake, you probably should, otherwise you'll never really understand why all your friends will continue laughing at you! It would probably be interesting to watch this again to see how different people react under the hypnosis.
Hypnosis Gone Wild has shows nightly at 11 pm everyday. 21 and over only. Tickets are $39.95/pp.
Sidenote: I also saw "Mesmerized" and found that one to be a bit more entertaining.
