Novice hypnotist puts girls in trance, can't wake them up

Wow, this end-of-the-year activity couldn't have gone more wrong: A handsome young hypnotist, Maxime Nadeau, was called in to give the 12-13 year-old girls of a Quebec private school a little show, and while he successfully he put several of the schoolgirls into a spell, he could not wake them out of it; one was spellbound for a reported five hours. Nadeau called his mentor Richard Whitbred, who hurried from an hour away to snap the schoolgirls out of their trances. Whitbread suggests the girls were profoundly entranced because Nadeau is a handsome young man (giggle). The girls, now awakened, describe the hypnosis as feeling like an out-of-body experience.
