A documentary entitled “brainwashed” on Discovery Channel’s Curiosity series experiments and proves that individuals can be hypnotized into carrying out an assassination. The experiment was done by certified hypnotherapist Tom Silver who was called upon to hypnotize a group of people in order to test the depth of their hypnotic state and how suggestible they were. After a series of tests, the four participants that remained were hypnotized to withstand near freezing temperature of an ice bath, and only one subject was able to stay in the ice bath for more than 18 seconds. He then was chosen as the final participant to be hypnotized into carrying out an “assassination” he believed was real.
