Went and saw a comic by the name of Rich Guzzi last night and I have to say it was the raunchist hypnotist show I've ever seen. He asked for volunteers and only 6 people went up on the stage, he says he is going to start the show and if anyone in the audience starts to nod off during the induction phase, you should let his assitant know as they are subconsciencely being hypnotised. Anyway, he starts and several people in the audience start nodding off.... including my wife. His assitant wakes them up and tells to goto the stage, at this point my wife looks at me and says "Honey, I can't move my arms! What's going on?" and walks upto the stage (he was doing an arm exercise. He does some exercises to see who is more suseptible and sends several people back to the audience... including my wife. They have 5 guys and girls now.
Anyway, for the next 1.5 hours, he proceeds to have these random people do some raunchy stuff. Dry humping each other, rubbing each others jibbly bits, etc. (two guys were rubbing one girls stuff at the same time) He even had them all do orgasms on the stage....
At one point he has them all do exotic dances and the girls start stripping. Most just bra showing and panties, but one girl shows her boobs and ass. They do lap dances out in the audience for members who hold up $1 bills.
After he brings them out of the hyponosis, a couple of the woman look in their shirts and find the $1 bills... and start freaking out. They start asking "What did he have me do?" One girl, one of the ones who didn't volunteer, said she hurt he knee and back and ripped her pants. Another guy apparently was very angry when his wife told him of the antics on the stage.
None of these people signed waivers and just under half didn't even volunteer. I knew 1 of the guys and 2 of the girls, they all said they would NEVER had done some of the things they did and were pissed he had them strip. One of the girls husband was noticably angry with his wife.
What is the legality of hypnosis? Since they didn't sign waivers... does the law say they are responsible because the hypnotist didn't physically make them do it? A couple of the people were clearly shaken up and upset at some of the things he made them do.
What do you guys think?
Cliffs:
Went and saw a hypnotist comic
He got 10 random people to do raunchy stuff up on stage including strip and show boobs, etc.
Many of them were pissed afterwards because they said they would have never done it otherwise.
PS: My wife said for the life of her, she COULD NOT move her arms until he got her up on stage and released her. She swears that she wasn't playing and had no prior knowledge of the act.
