Wasn't overly funny when I saw something very similar live 20-odd years ago (it was only amusing because a work colleague volunteered to be one of the victims). It was all genuine (she couldn't remember a thing about it) bit it's a bit of a one-trick pony thing
I'm watching it with a wry smile on my face. I used to sometimes enjoy the Paul McKenna show, some of it is funny I must admit. But hypnotism is hypnotism, there really is only one format to do with it. And this is it.
