Canada, Quebec - A private girls' school has learned a lesson of its own - don't hypnotize your students.
Officials at the College du Sacre-Coeur in Sherbrooke, Que., explained today that they didn't know 14-year-olds were more susceptible to hypnosis than other people when they booked an end-of-year hypnotism act to entertain students.
But the act went awry and one girl was left in a four-hour trance after the show by the young hypnotist, who had to bring in his mentor to snap people back to normal.
Five other students were in a daze and 13 students reported feeling nausea and headaches after the act.
Daniel Leveille, the school's director-general, said there were no long-lasting ill effects following the performance and everyone is back to their old selves.
He says 450 students between the ages of 13 to 17 years attended the show, which had gotten good reviews from other schools that hosted it.
Myrianne Cloutier, the mother of one of the affected students, says she's satisfied with the way the school handled the incident.
She says she still has confidence in the institution.

The World for People who Think
It is dangerous even in professional hands.
It is the backbone technology behind mind control and the loss of body control reported in many abductions.
It allows direct access to the being's mental programming, and the fact that we have developed the habit of allowing others access to that programming, while having little control over it ourselves, is what makes us vulnerable to psychic attack via both spiritual and electronic means.
If they taught THAT about hypnosis, instead of this "entertainment" fluff that has been going on since at least the late 1800s, we'd be a lot better off as a planet.
