How2: How can I hypnotise your hands?

Fred, the David Blaine of How2, is at it again, claiming he can take complete control of Gareth’s hands and fingers.

No way, Fred! Not going to happen. I mean, this is Gareth we’re talking about. He’s…
Hmm. You know, Fred might be in with a chance.

Fred instructs Gareth to clasp his hands, and press them together very tightly. You can follow along at home, if you like.

Then, extend your index fingers, and press them together tightly.

Now open your fingers, and Fred will make them close up together again. It works on Gareth, how about Gail?

Fred weaves his magic…

It works on Gail to. How about you? Did Fred make your fingers close together too?

It’s not hypnosis, of course. When you clasp your hands together, it puts tremendous strain on the tendons behind your fingers.

They’ll automatically tend to draw together, to relieve that strain. It’s not painful – it’s just that your fingers aren’t made to move like that. Try it on your friends.
