Something you don't see very often now in this current climate is the Hypnotist shows which in it's heyday were well known for it's dubious hypnosis pranks on girls - often ending up with the unwitting 'volunteers' on stage finishing up stark naked, much to their embarrassment. While TV has never really captured the raw uninhibited nature of the clubs, there were a couple of TV shows that I recall that were brave enough to strip their subjects down to the bare essentials on screen.

This one I remember well and comes from one of hypnotist Peter Powers TV shows. I think it was called The Naughty Naughty Hypnoshow and was broadcast on Channel 4 in 2000. Among the pranks he played on people was one he did on a young girl at a snooker club. After putting her in a trance he then persuaded her that she was at the tanning salon and that the snooker tables were sunbeds. So off came the clothes and on she got before Peter eventually decided to wake her up by knocking one of his balls into her side to wake her up (snooker balls, I may add). Once awake she was mortified to find herself in just her skimpy underwear in front of club members and after cursing at Peter she got off to desperately find her clothes - and in the process revealing a nice little bum on her as wonderfully she was wearing a thong! I suspect those cheeks blushed red that day, especially as this all ended up on TV to be watched by millions. How embarrassing!
