hahahahaha no wonder they went under hypnosis so easily. they see everyone else is going so quickly, plus the guy has crazy ass eyes along with all the crap he's doing with his hands will by past your critical factor.

Whats with the eyes? Is that for effect or is he just out of therapy himself?

I know that instant hypnossis is possible. You can learn it. But there are also a lot fake stage hypnotists out there. The only other possibility I know of is witchcraft. Don`t laugh. It is really possible, but that is another story.

This man, Dominique Webb, used to be very famous in the 1970s and early 1980s. He now admits to having used stooges in his shows. Not all of those hypnotised were acting, only the first couple, just to impress the rest of the crowd and speed up the process of hypnotizing the others, real subjects. That would explain a lot of this video. Also, if you point your fingers so close to people's eyes, they are bound to feel that their "eyelids are closing, closing"...

haha.

I really didnt know you could put people in a trance that fast with just a rapid movement of the hand to teh eye. Weird eh?

I would think that a lot also depends upon what he says to them, what instructions he delivers. Too bad no audio.

I liked to see how wide his eyes were. I wonder if I can train my eyes to do that.
