CARDS AGAINST HYPNOSIS – DAVID HALL @ Auditorium

Cards Against Hypnosis Show is David Hall’s latest interactive, laugh out loud, drop-to-your-knees funny comedy hypnosis show. In between each skit, David will throw a ball into the audience and a random audience member who catches the ball will be shown two cards. First is a card listing a scenario/skit, followed by a card listing possible outcomes. Based on the audience member’s decision, that skit will be performed by the hypnotized participants on stage. This unpredictable show gives a truly unique experience for the hypnotized participants as well as the audience.
