John the Hypnotist
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 2:40 pm
It was opening night at the Orpheum, and the Amazing John was topping the
bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his
stuff.
As John took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists
who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance,
I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as John withdrew a beautiful antique
pocket watch from his coat. "I want each of you to keep your eye on this
antique watch. It's a very special watch and has been in my family for
six generations."
He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly
chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch...."
The crowd become mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light
gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the
swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and
fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.
"Sh *it!" said the hypnotist....
It took three weeks to clean the seats in the theatre.
