You don't know what you don't know = no free will. I still find
   the whole idea silly, but I like the psychological tricks he
   uses to be convincing. My local county fair had a
   hypnotist/magician last year. I saw the show. Pretty similar
   stuff. Loads of fun smile emoticon He had an additional trick
   though; he'd get his kid to put a stick in his mouth and he'd
   whip off the stick 'til it was down to the last bit. You'd see
   the little pieces of wood go flying off somewhere and the kid
   wincing JUST a little at each whip. That was pretty cool.
   Strange but cool.
