Is it real?

I was just wondering after watching the show a few times I was wondering if it was all mocked up for the show? I just asked because I thought it was a well known fact that you cant make someone do something they don't want to do even under hypnosis. --MattyC3350 21:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yea, i think u r right. u cant make some1 do something they dont want even uder hipnosis (saw it on mythbusters lol). Maybe the people that were hipnotised were told to agreed to the suggestion. idk -.- its wierd, i dont believe it tho XNos 09:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I've seen a number of hypnosis acts multiple times at the same venue (worked at a state fair one summer) and I didn't see any repeat participants. The boundary appears to be one of moral objection. Hand a real gun to a person under hypnosis and tell him to shoot someone is unlikely. Hand a tomato to someone and tell him to execute Kermit the Frog, maybe maybe not. Tell someone his hat is talking to him, or that he adores Miss Piggie and there she is, he has no moral objection to being amorous to a character and doesn't have a conflict. Think of it as completely removing inhibition, of being really really drunk. You're no longer ashamed to be naked in front of all these people, but you wouldn't depart from your framework and explode a bomb in a crowd. Jtdunlop (talk) 06:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
