Rob

Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I’m Rob.

Sam

And I’m Sam.

Rob

Now, Sam, look into my eyes! You are feeling sleepy! Relax!

Sam

What are you doing, Rob? Trying to hypnotise me?

Rob

Well, since hypnotism is the topic of this programme, I thought I’d give it a try! So how do you feel, Sam? Are you under my spell?

Sam

Hmmm, I don’t think so, Rob. It’s not so easy to put me into a hypnotic trance – that’s the word to describe the state of mind of someone who’s been hypnotised and isn’t completely in control.

Rob

You mean like those stage magicians who trick people into clucking like a chicken or playing an imaginary violin?

Sam

Yes, some hypnotists make people do silly things for entertainment but hypnotism has real benefits as well – curing phobias, for example.

Rob

Maybe so, but for other people the very idea of a hypnotic trance is nonsense.
