Another hypnosis short. Quite interesting in the fact that it's silent, and somewhat less convincing because of it. A single fat faced girl goes under (somewhat way too fast and easily it seems) and then is put through some ultra-bizarre experiments. "Your Arm is very stiff!" "You are becoming blind!" (very funny!) "I'm going to touch your hand with a red hot instrument!" (actually it isn't, it's just perception! Pretty clever!) Pretty ultra strange, and is reccomended!
