It was opening night at the Orpheus and the Amazing Claude was topping the
bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff.
As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who
invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend
to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique
pocket watch from his coat.

"I want each of you to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very
special watch and has been in my family for six generations."

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly
chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..."

The crowd become mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming
off its polished surface.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it
slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a
hundred pieces.

"Shit!" said the hypnotist. ......

It took three weeks to clean the seats in the theatre.
