I'm just writing to ask anyone who is familiar with stage hypnosis to fill me in on what it is like. I am going to go to a christmas party this weekend and they are hiring a hypnotist. As a dare I am doing to do it, however I am very nervous. My fiancee is going to be there and I totally don't want to look stupid. So...what is stage hypnosis like...will I remember anything? How groggy will I be afterwords...and how embarassing is it. Anyone who has seen a show, is a hypnotist, or has been hypnotized let me know. Also I think I am very susceptable. Thanks.

I've seen several shows but never participated myself. Those that get hypnotised are told to do numerous things. The hypnotist takes the subjects through a series of acted out scenarios or tells them something they "see" and have them react to it. Some things I've seen are astronauts, dogs, seeing your "idol", thinking you're a famous musician/rock star, etc, noticing a bunch a people walking around naked, trying to convince the audience of aliens attacking, speaking in a different language (actually just gibberish), and so on. It is really funny and the audience is usually laughing hysterically. After the show, the hypnotist generally tells his subjects that they will have no memory of what they did but they will have a sense of well-being and other good things before he wakes them up.
Hope you have fun.
