>The Hypnotist
>
>It was opening night at the Orpheum, and The Amazing Claude was topping
>the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his
>stuff.
>
>As Claude 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 hypnotise each and every member of this audience."
>
>The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique
>pocket watch from his coat.
>
>"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very
>special watch. It's 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 became mesmerised 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.
>
>"Aw, shit!" cried the hypnotist.
>
>It took three weeks to clean up the theatre.
