The crowd was sit- ting there waiting for David Hall, a Boston— based comedian hypnotist, to perform his hi- larious hypnosis show in which the guests are the stars of the show. Hall has been doing hypnosis for 10 years and he says that this is his passion and that he really enjoys doing it. He will hypno— tize guests into performing funny skits such as thinking they are in a dance competition for ' one million dollars, thinking they are a space alien sent to your event to tell everyone about the planet Mars, and many more interesting ideas. He started the show by telling every— one to stretch both arms straight while closo ing their eyes and imaging that they have a heavy stone in their left hand and right hand is empty. He observed everyone and for anyone whose left hand was dropping down, he called them on stage because he knew they are good target for hypnotism. Soon, some awesome people oc~ cupied the stage and they were really excited to get hypnotized. Hall played his hypnotism music, which was really soothing and inter— esting. Everyone there was waiting for the students to get hypnotized and in a while all the people who were sitting on the stage fall asleep. And that was the time when the real fun started because Hall was making them do hi— larious stuff such as telling them to imagine he were naked in front and then he would jump in front of them and everyone on the stage would close their eyes. The show lasted for 45 min- utes and each and every stunt he did was worth watching, especially with the background muv s1c. As mentioned on his website, what makes David’s comedy hypnosis show truly unique is he is a multi-dimensional entertainer who has extensive experience in many aspects of the performing arts. It also mentions that “The theatrical aspects that make his hypno- sis show great include: specialized training in stage hypnosis from the Stage Hypnosis Center in Las Vegas and training in improvisational theater/sketch comedy from Boston’s famous Improv Asylum.” In addition, he has also been a traveling magician for the past 10 years, per— forming allover the United States and as far as Dubai in the Middle East.
