I don’t know about you but for me, the act of hypnotism – like haunted houses, double rainbows or simultaneous orgasm – is hard to believe in unless you’ve experienced it.
Like how do we definitively know that subjects under hypnosis aren’t complicit in some elaborate confidence scam designed to prey on some rich dude’s poor eating habits, fear of flying or desire to quit smoking? We don’t! I guess the real evidence is in compelling someone to do something so embarrassing that no amount of money could justify their compliance.
Exhibit A is this clip of skeptical AFL players Chad Wingard, Ollie Wines and Daniel Flynn of Port Adelaide being glamoured by a level 99 warlock named Isaac Lomman and made to do highly embarrassing things like believe they are good at Irish dancing (they aren’t) or fail to lift a football because they think it’s too heavy (it isn’t).
If this is a ruse, they all deserve SAG Awards.
Yep. A legitimate form of magic…
