Or if you like, read Tricks of the Mind by Derran Brown. In the chapter about Hypnosis, Brown points out that in the Milgram experiment, around 60% of the subjects would deliver a possibly lethal electric shock to another human if they were ordered to do it by a scientist. It isn't too hard to believe that people would be willing to jump around and humiliate themselves for the amusement of a bunch of morons if an authority figure told them to. | ||

Any references or anything? Or should I just assume you know what you're talking about so I won't look dumb in front of my peers? | ||

This is probaby a good starter, Derran is an extremely sharp guy and you know he knows what he's talking about. (If you don't know of him you can check out his shows and interviews). | ||

Some people are really vulnerable to the power of suggestion. You've never convinced someone you know to do things they'd never normally do?(even when they werent drunk) | ||

However, our hypnotist kicked people off stage or told them to leave if it seemed like they were faking it. A lot of the people who stayed on the stage were very convincing I must say... LOL we my hypnotist did the same thing, he removed people that were like that too. But i guess i was too good of a faker. | ||
