Abstract

The invention provides for a method of hypnotizing and entertaining members ( 20, 22 ) of an audience including the step of performing a dramatic presentation with actors ( 24, 26 ) to present a dramatic presentation. A trance is induced by a first actor ( 24 ) in the presentation on a second actor ( 26 ). A storyline is presented in the presentation. The storyline has characters, a setting, and a plot with the plot including a conflict, a climax, and a resolution. All of the step are presented by actors ( 24, 26 ) and recorded into a single video recording ( 28 ). The video ( 28 ) is played to the audience to hypnotize a first group ( 20 ) of the audience for entertaining a second group ( 22 ) of the audience. The first group ( 20 ) is instructed to perform acts identical to the hypnotized second actor ( 26 ) and the second group ( 22 ) is instructed to interact with the first group ( 20 ) in the same manner as the first actor ( 24 ) in the presentation interacts with the second actor ( 26 ) in the presentation.
