Before this I would have said it must be staged.... How ever my wife volunteered (saying "I've tried this before and it doesn't work" right before she went to the stage.) Well this real! She didn't remember any of the things she did on stage and she is a joker in real life so yes she was very funny under Hypnosis. I bought the video at the end just to show her and she cannot believe it happened. Great show, you will laugh you butt off and it's even better if someone you know ends up on stage. Highly recommended. Cured this septic!
