It was opening night at the California Theater and the "Amazing Claude" was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famous hypnotist do his stuff. As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of this audience."
T he excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want you each to keep your eyes on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's 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 forth, the light gleaming from its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch.
Suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.
"Crap!" said the hypnotist.
