Stage hypnosis is the performance of hypnosis in front of an audience for the purposes of entertainment. It is not precise as to why the subject being hypnotized response to the hypnotist’s suggestions while on stage. One reason could be due to the altered state of consciousness (from normal wakeful awareness into alpha state of mind). Another reason is a conspiracy between the hypnotist and the “chosen” audience to deceive the masses. The third reason is most probable - a psychological factor of compliance and peer pressure since the subject is in front of large audience, subconsciously he would choose to co-operate with the hypnotist. Stage hypnosis performances of today is more about entertainment but is also meant to demonstrate the unknown power of our deeper mind.
