It's one of those things... everybody wants to see everybody else make a fool of themselves, but nobody wants to be the butt of the joke. At a party recently, I was asked to hypnotise someone and effectively turn him into the evening's entertainment. The trouble with parties is that people don't go along expecting to be hypnotised or to watch someone be hypnotised. Part of the fun of going to see a stage hypnotist is the build up, the anticipation of what you hope is going to be a fantastic and hilarious experience.
So, on this occasion I decided to turn the tables and agreed to hypnotise the gentleman in question, provided the girl who made the request also agreed to be hypnotised. Not surprisingly, her enthusiasm was somewhat curbed. I was somewhat relieved, because not only was I not in the mood to "be on stage", but it's not really what I do. Sure the techniques are pretty similar, and if u mess up it's ok because you're among friends, but I much prefer my one-on-one therapy sessions where I know I'm making a difference to somebody's life.
