From the Paper:

"Have you ever been to a hypnotist show? If you have than you would most likely agree that anyone who hasn t, is missing out. Who wouldn t want to watch friends and peers make a complete fool out of themselves on stage? You know the stories: pretending your in a rodeo, sunbathing at the beach, or even acting like you re a famous singer in a group like N Sync or another celebrity such as Britney Spears. Seriously, if you ve never seen a hypnotist show, it s worth your time. After the show ends and the laughs are over, questions always seem to stir about in your mind. Were they faking it, can they become stuck in hypnosis, could I be hypnotized? These are all really common questions and yes, there are answers. Chances are, the volunteers were not faking it."
