EFFECT
A volunteer is chosen at random from the audience and joins you on the
stage where they are seated next to you behind a table in full view of the
audience.
A second volunteer is also chosen from the audience and seated at the
table as a close up independent witness to the proceedings.
The first volunteer is then apparently placed into an instant trance state
and their hand is apparently glued to the table by "Hypnotic" suggestion.
In this state with their eyes closed, you seem to control their mind in
some way, because as you point at their hand and lift your own arm into
the air, at the same time their arm rises into the air in a most uncanny
manner! You then pause for a short while in this position and when you
then start to move your arm downwards without saying a word, so the
volunteer also moves their hand back down to the point where it is once
again glued to the table. The second volunteer is then asked to point
their finger at the first volunteers hand and told to say nothing but do the
same as you just did when and only when they decide to. Sure enough
despite volunteer number one having his eyes closed, when volunteer
two decides to lift his arm into the air, volunteer number one does the
same at exactly the same time. And when volunteer two decides to
lower his arm again, amazingly so does volunteer one, even though they
cannot possibly see what is going on and nothing has been said to alert
them to what is happening. The first volunteer is then awoken from
trance and both people are sent back to the audience to a huge round of
applause!
SPECIAL NOTES
The effect of this routine looks the same as the one performed by Top
British Mentalist Derren Brown during his Live Shows and also on one of
his "Mind Control" TV Specials, however I have decided to include my
performance method herein as mine uses absolutely no Hypnotic
Trance and indeed the Linguistic wording is different in order to achieve
apparently the same...
