The Doctor is in the house
Last night's show was interesting.... lol
Once I got my volunteers hypnotized, the show went on as normal. I went through a routine or two and then began to introduce our hypnotized guests to the audience. I like to have the volunteer say their name to the audience, and then have the audience members who came with the volunteer make some noise, clap, cheer, etc. I do this for a couple of reasons.
1.) I like to know where their friends are sitting. If they cannot see their buddy on stage (bad sight lines) I will move their buddy to a different seat.
2.) I like the audience to know who the hypnotized person belongs to in the audience. It gives them a sense of connection.
3.) I like the audience to see how real these volunteers are. I don't use plants, or have volunteers fake hypnosis, I use real people from the audience every night. So, it is important to me, that they see and talk to that volunteers friends/group after the show.
Anyways, the show rolls on, and one volunteer named Evan, is a man in his 50's I am guessing. He was a physician. Oh my god!, he was hilarious! He was just like Peter Petrelli from Heroes on NBC TV. He absorbed everyone else's suggestions. It didn't matter who I was communicating to, he seemed to pick everything up. It was awesome. Very entertaining for me, I might add. His wife was sitting front row, and she was dying laughing. They had a great time!
Halfway through the show, an audience member was falling asleep in the crowd. So, I awakened her from hypnosis, and continued on with the show. Well, that was not the end of Leslie! LOL. I was conducting the Lollipop Licking Championship on stage, and this lady shows up to the front of the stage and was so angry that she wasn't included. She was so hypnotized that she came from the back of the audience and demanded her own lollipop to compete in the competition. So, we gave her one. She was competing with the rest of them. What a great moment. Funny stuff!
