I said in a previous post that I am not a fan of hypnotism. It’s probably the only kind of magic I don’t like.
Maybe also troublewit.
But there’s one kind of magic I love and that’s faux hypnotism.
The kind of trick where regular magic techniques leave you with a sense of missing time or involuntary compliance without the coercive act of actually performing hypnosis.
Of course if you don’t know the difference it might feel similarly violating, which is why I love the premise behind the TV show Severence.
Umm… Spoilers for series 1 of Severence I guess.
