It was opening night at the Orpheum.

The Amazing Claude topped 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 this audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude

withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat.

"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique

watch. It's a very special watch. It's 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 became 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 up the theatre.
