Crazy Magician Jailed For Hypnotizing Kids

http://goodlawd.com/magician-jailed-...notizing-kids/

by RandomTandem on September 2, 2011

The next time your kids get on your nerves, dont spank em, dont put em in time out, call Miller Zambrano Posada! He will hypnotize your kids into shutting up….or spanking themselves!

I KID! Honestly, there was some shady stuff going down in the Colombian town of Mocoa when Magician Miller Zambrano Posada hypnotized a bunch of school kids during his act. 590 kids paid .40 cents to participate in a “fun day” which was complete with circus acts, clowns and hypnotism as the grand finalé.

12 Kids were called to the stage where the magician used deep eye contact and a monotone voice to put them in a trance and wow the crowd by making the kids bark like dogs, laugh hysterically and cry like babies among other things. Once the demonstration was over, the students walked back to their seats. Instead of things going back to normal, over 70 of the kids from the audience began to display bizarre symptoms.

Witnesses and police on the scene recalled that some kids were screaming, others were crying and throwing themselves to the floor, some were beating themselves in the chest like gorillas and one girl started yelling crazy things and saying that she could see the devil! Oddly, only one of the kids who was called up to the stage displayed any symptoms, all of the other kids were from the audience.

The kids were admitted into the hospital. Parents are requesting that the magician be called in to the hospital to remove the trance. The magician insists that he has never seen such a thing happen before and he has been performing this act for years and has performed it at many schools without incident.

Doctor William Orlando Galarza, director of the José María Hernández hospital where the kids were taken, said that to different degrees, all children presented symptoms of collective hypnosis. Most of the kids have been released from the hospital although one of the kids had to be readmitted.

Im scurred! The advertising industry (aka the Government) is gonna get ahold of this guy and put him on our TV’s! We are all doomed!

That's just plain weird. The fact that the guy has done is many times before seems to let him off the hook, but why was this time different?

Maybe there was something wrong with the kids BEFORE the hypnotism and he just brought it out?

Maybe...THEY WEREN'T REAL KIDS!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Hey at least they stopped him before he went on a hypnotizing spree and became a serial hypnotizer!! How are they going to punish him anyway? Hypnotize him and make act like he's in jail?

Default the real problem

The real problem here is that stage hypnotism is just improv/play acting and there is no way in heck that anyone could be affected by it like this.
