hello, this is agent Todd along with agent King
we're here to enact The Amazing Hypnotist mission
ladies and gentlemen a free hypnotism show is starting in only two minutes, sir are you ready for the show?
I'm Ken Keech, I was the first one to get hypnotized today and I noticed the crowd
when Ken hears me say a certain code word, he's going to believe that he is an ostrich (laughter)
do you believe that Ken?
Ken ..."yellow"
(laughter)
"yellow"
how about a big hand for Ken? (clapping)
hi I'm Brook, and I was hypnotized to fall in love with my actually boyfriend Charles
but away from my fake boyfriend Matt
I'm Charles I played a volunteer who got hypnotized to fall in love with my actual girlfriend which wasn't very hard
ok, what is your name ma'am? Brook? Brook
are you single?
no, that's my boyfriend
you have a boyfriend and he's right there
would you say you could fall in love with anyone else?
no
no, alright
how about you? are you single today?
no, I live with somebody, she's actually right there
oh, your girlfriend is here too, what is your name ma'am? don't be shy, what is your name?
Kate
I'm Kate, and I was the girlfriend of Charles who decided to be hypnotized and I was suppose to be embarrassed
today The Amazing Hypnotist is going to see if the power of hypnosis is stronger than the power of love
in just a few moments he is going to hypnotize Charles into falling in love with Brook
so I go out there, we do the whole hypnotizing bit
Charles, Brook...."pink" (laughter)
(cheers and laughter)
I got physically upset and people were really on my side, like "c'mon, you don't have to take this" and "this is wrong"
"pink"
another hand for Charles and Brook
you guys wanna hang out here for the show's finale
I'm Dan, I play the part of "Dan from Atlanta", I was hypnotized to believe that I was in a dessert
and I was in dire need of water, I probably drank about a gallon's worth of liquid in a five minute period
"blue"
how about a big hand for Dan (clapping)
hello, I'm John, I was playing the person who was hypnotized to be a stripper
when Anthony was hypnotizing me, I guess somebody was listening in so he had to bolster up his speech
to make it seem real, and at one point he was like, "are you calm? alright, I'm going to come inside you" (laughs)
I didn't know if he was trying to make me laugh or what, or if he was just being weird
John..."green"
(laughter)
Ken, "yellow", Dan, "blue", Charlies, Brook, "pink"
we tried to pick the point where, a breaking point where if we stayed any longer people were gonna start getting mad
at us or demanding an explanation so right when Charles and Brook were beginning to really kiss
and right when John was taking his pants off, we chose to leave
this guy was really upset and we were pretty sure he was gonna be chasing us down the street
so we ran for about three or four blocks without stopping
where's the hypnotist? he ran away?
alright, I'm Dan I field produced the shoot and I was also holding the B camera
Anthony and Charlie run away, and so they leave everyone hypnotized in the park
and that's when people really started reacting, people were running around, one guy said he was going to call the cops
were you with them? the two hypnotists? were you with them?
(off camera) no
cause if you were, I'm dead serious, we're gonna have a real problem, I got a lot of friends who are cops
and I'll call one of them right now, if you really wanna, cause you just broke up a goddamn couple, two couples
the one lady and the guy were coming up to us yelling, "pink, pink, pink, pink"
like trying to make sure we would snap out of it, but we were just like, I gotta go make out with this guy
this one guy came up to us, "don't you know you have another boyfriend, and another girlfriend? and you guys are hypnotized?"
we just started like, "woah, sorry we offended you by making out on the bench, but you don't have to be crazy, we gotta go"
so we were just like walking away, and he was like yelling at us, "fine, whatever, you think I'm a crazy New Yorker, well you guys are hypnotized!"
at some point where I ran out of liquids that they were supplying, I started
asking the audience for drinks and somebody had an ice cream, and I ran over to the crowd
and I asked for the ice cream, and the guy was trying to hold it away from me
making me dance and beg for it, and all the people around were saying "just give him the ice cream, just give him the ice cream"
once it really got started people reacted really passionately to what was going on
we never told anyone in the park that it was a prank or a performance so we just left them there
to figure it out, what was happening
I ran as fast as I could possibly run, absolutely away from the park, never looking back
terrified the entire time that the crazy guy with the striped shirt was right behind me looking for me
to call the police, but we got away safe and met back at the meeting point and it was a big success overall
