Alex, the Hypnotist

You find yourself drawn to the hypnotist. Back in college it was a big deal to go to a hypnotist. A student would wind up on stage and become the puppet of the hypnotist. You always thought they were different from magicians, but maybe that's just some sort of professional divide amongst the entertainers.

The room was filled a variety of different people. Most were college age, but not enough to be the vast majority. You begin looking for a seat and in no time the lights dim and a spotlight centers on a skinny white man in a black t-shirt, jeans, and top hat.

"Good evening my victims," he says jokingly in an English accent. "I am the amazing Alex. And I will be in control of the X and Y axis for tonight."

This got a couple of chuckles from those who remembered the Outer Limits.

"Now lets start with some volunteers. How about you..."

And he points in your direction.
