"You are a very good hypnotic subject."You are a very good hypnotic subject. I'm surprised that you didn't go under when you saw my show." She laughed softly at the memory. She had been there with several of her friends and her mother. Mother was always the conservative. She had voted for Nixon, Goldwater and even supported Joe McCarthy at one time. The only reason she was with them was because her daughter's best friend had invited her along. Mother was one of the first ones hypnotized, sitting right in the audience! If it hadn't been for HER, she would have been hypnotized, too! By the time she had finished explaining, the Hypnotist was laughing as well, but for a different reason. Her mother had been one of the many who had visited him backstage for an advanced experience in hypnotic control! His mind flashed back to that memorable night. The woman was in her mid-forties, sleek and trim with a very up tight attitude. He had noticed her in the company of about six other, much younger, women. At first he thought her a house-mother from the University, but then the idea hit him that this was a birthday party and she was somebody's real mother. |
