The Amazing Claude

It was opening night at the theater 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 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 theater
