One of the challenges of being a hypnotist is found in movies. And novels. And TV shows. And comic books. And fireside stories. And "FOAF" (a "Friend of a Friend" told someone) tales. And the internet. And in hypnosis stage shows for entertainmnet. They all seem to have a powerful hypnotist making people do things against their wills.
Old advertising image of a hypnotist directing group of people in things that appear to be against their wills.
One man is wearing women's clothing and a feathered hat.
Another man is using a cane but thinking it is a fishing pole.
The man in the back is driving another man like a horse and carriage.
