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 onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend
to hypnotise each and every member of the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique
pocket watch from his coat. "I want each of you to keep your eyes 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 mesmerized 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.
"Sh*t" said the hypnotist.
It took three weeks to clean up the theatre.
