Things You May See At Mike's
Comedy Stage Hypnosis Show...

After a brief explanation,
Mike will invite a “committee” upon the stage. He will perform
a few interesting exercises and tests and then soft low music will
begin.
As
the music plays,
Mr. Bishop will begin suggesting changes in the demeanor of his
subjects. They will begin to noticeably relax, their heads will
droop, and their eyes will close. They will slump in their chair.
Their bodies will become so heavy that they will lean into each
other. Often, members of the audience will go under too.
Then,
Pandemonium..
Mike will begin with group suggestions: Feeling hot or cold,
smelling weird smells, seeing things that aren't there. Soon the
committee is blaming certain members for foul odors and things that
aren't possible.
“Hey, she pinched me!”
“I can’t find my belly button!”
“I have 11 fingers!”
Their
comments fuel the audience's laughter...
X-ray glasses have to be wrestled away from one participant and
another keeps changing his name every time he is asked it. One
subject is dismayed to discover that she cannot say her name while
another quacks every time she hears a certain word.
Through it all, the subjects become more and more suggestible so
that they will actually go back under in a split second. One subject
is given a magic finger which she touches to the head of each
person. To her amazement, each one falls dead asleep. To her further
amazement her finger turns toward her own head and seemingly forces
its way to her.
..BAM she is asleep too!
When the music stops...
the
free-form dancers find they cannot move; they are stiff as a board.
The music resumes and they are released. Feet stick to the floor,
arms become rigid and immovable. Noses turn to rubber. Adults start
talking like 3 year olds. And the audience laughs on.
Just when you think it’s over..
The committee is dismissed back to their seats where the post
hypnotic suggestions get the laughter going again. Weird noises
erupt from the crowd. Subjects outwardly ask when the show is going
to start. Some leave for the bathroom only to take a few steps and
not have to go anymore. 2 volunteers begin to argue about the show
while one is led around by an invisible dog.
Finally...
we truly do end the show. The committee receives the applause and
recognition they truly deserve.
“You have just witnessed what happens
when the imaginary becomes real.”
Afterward, Mike stays to talk with the subjects.
He will answer any and all questions and when he leaves he will
leave behind many heroes. They will describe their experience in
many ways; all of them positive.
