I have always wondered about something like this:

ree-audience-members-in-trance/?test=latestnews

 

What if. a magician is doing one of these hypnosis acts, and puts some
volunteers from the audience in a trance, then just before he wakes them, he
has a heart attack?  What happens to the people in a trance?  Do they stay
that way forever?  Or do they go to sleep that night still in a trance and
wake up the next day like nothing happened?  Or what if the hypnotist gets
them to do some goofy thing the way they do, and the hypnotist trips and
gets conked out, gets amnesia or something before he can wake them out of
the trance?  Or what if one of those weight loss hypnotists trances a
patient until she can lose ten pounds, but then he gets a stroke or
something and can't untrance her?  Does she eventually starve?
