The hypnotist
Good one...
It was opening night at the Orpheum and the Amazing Claude was topping 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 the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket
watch from his coat. "I want each of you to keep your eye on this antique watch.
It's a very special watch and has 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 become 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.
