		Franquin, unlike, apparently, the Piddingtons, only engaged in hypnosis as an interesting entertainment method, especially using the phenomenon of post-hypnotic suggestions, plus the standard method of having them do things that make them look foolish - but - of course, the volunteers all knew that before they went up on stage.
		Franquin made no pretence of anything paranormal, such as mindreading tricks and so on.
		His trick, like all stage hypnotists, is to set up amusing scenarios where various individuals have post-hypnotis suggestions implanted, then they are sent back to the audience, awake, and then he would trigger off a cascade of reactions, each one's reactions triggering off the next, and so on.
