Hypnotist shows students the power of suggestion.
Students close their eyes and listen to the hypnotist, not realizing they are all slowly dropping one of their arms.
Students hope to be chosen as volunteers.

Students are showing the signs of being hypnotized.
Student casts his imaginary reel-- the hypnotist told the volunteers they were fishing.
One student nervously extends her hand, thinking a bird is nearing her to perch on her fingers. Other students react differently.
Students react to being complimented and pose for a "picture."
Students show their best vampire fangs.
The hypnotist transitions the group to the next part of the show. Unhypnotized volunteers left the stage.
The hypnotist said that volunteers may feel well-rested after being hypnotized. No wonder!
The hypnotist looks at a deeply hypnotized volunteer who just fell out of his chair on the floor.
After the show, volunteers would still react to certain cues. The audience searched for those volunteers to see their reactions.
