Hypnotism: Real Or Parlor Trick? POLL

I came across an article this morning about a hypnotist amazing people on the street.

I have some tolerance for the idea of hypnotism in a therapy environment, administered by a professional. But these street acts give me pause. I do think there are those that are more easily "suggestible", but generally I am left unconvinced. I have never been and am not planning to try it personally any time soon. Some things are better left uncovered if it is real.

Just My Opinion,
