The three volunteers

First up was Cardi B.

Then Scarlett Johansson.

And finally, Alessandra Ambrosio.

They made their way to the stage, all with skeptical looks on their faces. They sat down.

"Okay, close your eyes and breathe deeply."

They do. Dr. Mesmer then worked his magic and saw them slacken down.

"Now, open your eyes," said Dr. Mesmer. "But remain in this trance."

They did so. Their eyes were glazed over slightly.
