Submitted by deon.youd on

The crowd cheered and laughed as the girl twirled and spun, dancing with the broom she was given from the hypnotist. The Hypno-Hick performed a show at Spanish Fork High School on November 5, 2013

"Some of the people seemed like they weren't even close to hypnotized," said Tanner Parker, SFHS sophomore.

The Hypno-Hick explained that they were in a state of mind that they don't care what's happening.  The people may have looked like they weren't in hypnosis but they were.
