Noob Hypnotist’s Show Goes Wrong
Thursday, June 21st, 2012Like a padawan who just learned about the force, 20 year-old newbie hypnotist, Maxime Nadeau was hired to put on a year-end show for the all-girl College du Sacre-Coeur in Sherbooke, Quebec.
People were having a great time, the show went well, everyone enjoyed the demonstrations of making fools out of half-asleep friends, show ends and everyone leaves…
Except for the girls apparently who were still in some kind of trance-like state.
According to witnesses, several girls who’d been sitting at nearby tables watching the show had also been ‘put under’, had their heads lying on their tables and seemed a little out of it.
One girl seemed to be in a trance-like state for five hours when the 20 year-old hypnotist decided to call his mentor who lived about an hour away.
Some girls were complaining of nausea and headaches. One girl even claimed it was like an out-of-body experience.
Nadeau’s mentor Richard Whitebread, showed up to wake the girls from their hypnotic state.
In an excerpt from one article, we learn why the girls went into such a deep trance (probably the best reason ever and will become a great blurb for future shows):
All of the thirteen girls affected by Nadeau’s good looks and his show were brought out of their stupors and returned to normal. School principal Daniel Leveille told reporters:
Next time, Principal Leveille? Just hire an ugly hypnotist and everything’ll be just fine.
