I explained that in a previous post. Because these people wouldn't do it normally, but on stage, with a) them in the spotlight, b) the excuse that it wasn't their idea, (e.g. it was the hypnotist's fault) c) they WANT and expect to something fun happen. Let me give you a for instance. It's...

To go further with this, there is no scientific evidence that says that hypnosis can make a person "regress" in age. (i.e., making a 30 year old person regress to 8 years old). In fact, the evidence tends to show that the person who is hypnotized to "regressed to a younger age" is actually...

Guys...I'm 45, my girlfriend is 13 years younger than me, and she still uses that phrase "Boys will be boys" when refering to me.... Usually, when she says that, I look up from my cards or something, look at her innocently and say "What? What???" :D

*sigh* Here I go again. :) Pretty much everyone above hit it on the head. Hypnosis is not an "altered state" nor is it "mind control". Hypnosis is simply like going to the movies. The only difference is that instead of a big screen and flashy CGI and loud music, the hypnotist convinces the...

Again, I'm not asking if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm asking why one performer it's okay and why another performer it's not. There's a reason why most magicians here love Penn & Teller and dislike the Masked Magician, yet the both did do reveals. What is the difference?

There's been a lot of discussion about the Masked Magician. There are plenty of people who dislike him with a more than understandable reason. But then this got me thinking: (because I don't think I've seen this specific angle on this topic brought up. If I missed it, sorry. It's kinda late...

*waves* Hi!

I think we are going to see a progression of photos. First this one, then the next photo will be of two fingers up, the "R" finger and what's next, then then next finger, etc. ...I know it really doesn't help much, it's just a thought.

I know Katie said that this doesn't count, so this isn't an entry, and I don't think I will enter tonight, but I will post something I do love.... And yes, she IS magic. :)

This is something I've been interested since eight years old. Seriously. I'm now 45 and I do adult stage hypnosis. I'll save you hundreds of dollars that charletons may charge you: Other than drugs and/or real physical threat there is no such thing as mind control. If you remember that all...

You're good. Don't worry about handling people like the Asian kid. You've got a good jump on handling an audience, I'm sure that handling people like the Asian kid will come eventually.

Not to sound cynical or anything, but.... was this really a misdirection so people would not notice that there was no One-on-One last night???????????

...actually, that was a lot better than my guess.... ...funnier too! :-)

He said on the recording to email the answer to anonymous@theory11.com

I actually came up with an answer. I even emailed it. To be honest, I'm probably wrong, but I gave it shot! :)

I've read all the pages in this forum. Checked out what hints have been given. Here's my thought: I have no clue, but the balloon vid is pretty creepy. Thought I'd throw that in there.

Okay. I watched it. It was dumb. It seems to me that the producer/director/writer was trying to use the basest form of satire, trying to make some kind of statement that eludes me. But to be honest, (and I don' t know if I should admit this), but I've seen much more disturbing things...

Okay, guys......you know that I HAVE to see this now. I can't at the moment because I'm at work and work blocks youtube. But with all the hype..... gotta find out what so disturbing.....

I do a "bait and switch". Usually, in the case of a trick, I make up some bullpucky to explain "an experiment". For example, when I do something like PK Touch, I tell them about a "phenomenon" (which I completely made-up), that when two people work close together, or live together, there's a...

Happy Birthday..... .....and to make it really great, I'm telling you happy birthday and I'm one of the few people on this board who is older than you!!! :-) Go party, you whippersnapper! :D
