The auditorium lights dimmed and the stage lights brightened as the hypnotist walked out onto the stage. The audience applauded. They were in Las Vegas to have fun. Adult fun in Sin City, and this was definitely an adult-themed show.
Helen's friends had brought her here on Memorial Day weekend to take a breather before the push to study for final exams. She'd just turned 21 the month before, and she was having a blast. Of course, they were on a budget, so the four of them shared a single room with two beds. That's how she discovered that their friend Emily, the one she was sharing a bed with, was lesbian. It wasn't that she was against experimenting, but she was shy, and didn't want an audience in the other bed. So when Emily put the moves on her, she resisted.
But there were no hard feelings, and they were having the time of their lives. The thing was, you came to Las Vegas to have fun. So an effervescent ambience permeated the city. The face of every passerby was of joy and wonder, even of greed. But it was a look of people living in the moment, not lost in their own thoughts, their own lives or their own problems.
This show was their biggest expense, so they had dressed up and intended to enjoy themselves.
"Hello Las Vegas, I'm Tony Stewart, the Horny Hypnotist. Are you ready to have some fun?" A chorus of cheers erupted, with a fair share of whistles. Helen and her friends giggled. The Horny Hypnotist. What a corny handle.
"Well, I can't hypnotize myself, so to get the show started, let's get 9 volunteers!"
A few dozen hands went up. To Helen's surprise, Emily grabbed her wrist and raised her hand in the air.
Tony scanned the audience. He was looking for 6 women and 3 men. It was important that the women were young and attractive. His practiced gaze landed on Helen, and before she could withdraw her raised hand, she was the first one he picked.
Of course, she was reluctant to go, but her friends egged her on, and the audience around her was encouraging. Meekly, she got up on her feet and went onto the stage.
When he was done, Tony surveyed his subjects. He had a good group. Helen was the most attractive girl he'd ever had onstage. The audience would go nuts over her. He made sure to sit her in the middle of the row.
"So, how many of you think that you can't be hypnotized?" he asked. All of the men's hands went up. Of the girls, who were taught to be more demur, only two. "The guys always think they can't be hypnotized," he said. The audience laughed. "Let's start with them first."
To everybody's surprise, he had the entire group of nine with their chins resting on their chests in under a minute. "Now, let's have some fun."
He ran through the routine series of acts. He had some clucking like chickens. He had others giggling to tears while being tickled by invisible fingers. He had one girl become stiff as a board, her body serving as a plank between two chairs while one of the men stood on her abdomen. As the show progressed, the acts became more and more astonishing. Tony knew how to work the audience. He was building toward the climax.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. If you've seen my shows on the internet, or read about me, you know why I'm called the Horny Hypnotist." The audience responded with a rising crescendo of whistles and catcalls. Their collective excitement had been building throughout the show. Helen's friends laughed and cheered.
"Ok, quiet down, please, while I give our volunteers their instructions." The audience obeyed immediately. They were eager for the show to proceed.
"Ok volunteers, now listen to me. Your bodies are no longer under your own control. They are under my control. And tonight, I want you to have fun. I want you to enjoy your trip to Sin City in a sinful way. Tonight, you'll experience more physical pleasure than you've ever experienced in your entire lives.
"Open your eyes and look at me. When I point at you with my microphone and snap my fingers, you'll begin to experience a building erotic sensation between your legs. Then I'm going to count down from 10 to 1. The pleasure will build as I count. The feeling will get more and more intense, so that by the time I reach 1, you'll be ready to explode. Then, when I snap my fingers again, you'll have an orgasm. You'll get off instantly. You'll come longer and harder than you've ever come in your life. Nod if you understand."
Helen was blushing furiously, but against her will, she felt herself nodding along with the other volunteers.
The hypnotist started with a guy, pointed the microphone at him, and snapped his fingers. The guy jolted in surprise, then squirmed as Tony began the countdown. He looked at the audience in obvious embarrassment as his body responded, the bulge in his pants expanding instantly. When Tony got to one, he snapped his fingers again, and the man doubled over and squealed like a girl. The audience was hysterical.
He knew exactly what they wanted. He went from guy to girl, then guy to girl again, then the last guy. The four prettiest girls, he saved for the end. Helen, of course, would be the ultimate. The audience got rowdier with each one. You could almost smell the sex in the air. It was as if the audience could experience the volunteers' orgasms vicariously. By the time the hypnotist got to Helen, they were roaring their approval.
