The effectiveness of hypnotism depends on how susceptible the subject is to the power of suggestion. Unfortunately, I seem to be impervious. Back in high school, our sociology teacher had a hypnotherapist treat our class. He had us all visualize something we wanted to change about ourselves, and then attempted to put us in a trance. I wanted to become more organized, but years later my desk is hopelessly cluttered, my refrigerator is a science experiment, and I’m scared to set foot in the scrapheap I call a garage. But it would be fun to watch hypnotist/comedian Flip Orley transform audience volunteers into 5-year-olds, game-show contestants or trailer-park dwellers–even if he refuses to embarrass his subjects. He performs Wednesday through March 28 at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Tickets ($15 to $17) and showtimes are available by calling 972-404-8501 or visiting improv.com.
