      I was curios and tried it at 0.75 (would be about 1.5 hours for the Episode)... but that sounds like Drunk Brian, trying to explain something without slurring.

    I have to wonder if there's ever been a major stage hypnotist that's had their act outright ruined by someone they thought would go along but then got up on stage and purposely ruined it. I've never found any footage of it happening but surely it must have at some point.

      They probably have some sort of protocol or bit they do to play it off, I feel like it’s one of the first things they teach you in stage hypnotist school, it could also be that they deal with ppl like that before they even have the chance to do it, they tap the person on the shoulder to get off stage and stuff

    In your episodes of the world's greatest con. It is perfect.
    From the introduction, to the emotion carried in the voice, through to the small visuals of the real to real.
    Would you make a detailed guide of how to:
    master telling a story
    make an intro
    chose audio to be in the background
    making of a story
    In short, might you consider showing teaching what goes into an episode.
    It would make great content for Scam Stuff, or The Modern Rogue
    Thank you for your consideration

    The stage hypnotist at my college was really bad at his job. Sure, I did what I did for fame. But I also did what I did to embarrass the hell out of the guy selling pseudoscience at a university that focused on science and technology. I did _not_ act like a chicken, I took his mike and told him that he was foolish, and that I couldn't be hypnotized.

    Wow. Americas Got Talent boo'd you for the styrofoam cup bit AND didn't show the act on Tv? I would understand that they wouldn't want to encourage kids to do a stunt like that but they've shown countless dangerous stunts and pranks before. I bet the judges just got spooked themselves and over reacted but when they realized later how badly they treated you they didn't want to show it on television at the risk they themselves would be ashamed when countless viewers would push back at how you were treated. I personally love the act and always have.
