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 up onto
the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize 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 you each to keep your eye
on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its 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 fo! rth, 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!
....."Shit" said the hypnotist.
It took three weeks to clean up the theater.
