I have always been skeptical about hypnosis, but on Wednesday, Jan. 24, I decided to put my worries aside and let some magic happen.Around 7 p.m, the stage light shined in the Nebraska East Union's Great Plains Room, while the crowd awaited hypnotist Jim Wand's performance. The limited seating, around 100 chairs, filled up quickly. The excitement in the room was contagious.I could already tell that many people were about to get hypnotized because of the number of chairs on stage.
