Yes and no. The power of suggestion and distraction is very real, but as far as clucking like a chicken, no, that is not real. Lamaze is even a form of hypnosis, and it is proven to work. All you are doing is distraction the person from whatever it is that you are testing, but the instant you mention the gullibility of the person they will instantly snap out of it.

I once saw a lady put under in a bar in Montana... I mean she was UNDER!!! Was amazing.... The guy told her she was as stiff as a board. Then two guys picked her up. One had her by her head, the other by her feet. They raised her clear over their heads. and she WAS stiff as a board...
NO WAY she could have faked it....
EDIT**********************************************
The guy below me wasn't there and didn't see what I saw.. I knew this lady. She wasn't faking anything. And was lifted from both ends with no support in the middle. And yet her body was perfectly stright

The first answer is accurate, the one before this one is not.
