I'm interested in the process of being hypnotized, specifically whether you are really being put into a state of trance or semi-consciousness.
How big of a factor would you say 'peer pressure' or the pressure of playing along is? Obviously Derren is quite convincing and very confident. I would estimate that actually actively resisting the 'hypnotizing' and trying to disprove him would require a strong will. Many people might just keep playing along because it would be way too awkward to stop.
So did you ever feel like being entranced or unconscious?
