We have had two responses on this matter. One from someone who can write in understandable English and use big words and one from possibly an acne ridden teenager who can't express himself very well. In other words a posh intellectual type who is nevertheless talking nonsense and a more dimwitted type that is talking equal nonsense.

Both have mispelled the holy name of Paul Goldin wrong but obviously the more illiterate of the two chaps has made the bigger of the two mistakes.

Let me deal with the posh chap first. I must inform the gentleman that I do not understand a word he says and would appreciate it if he does not address me in Latin. Only the Pope speaks Latin after all so perhaps the remarks should be addressed to the Vatican instead of me. I am always amused when obviously university educated people chatter in Latin to show off how knowledgable they are. I am afraid I went to a different university known as the University of Evil where we were taught to know the difference between the real thing and the not so real thing. And I learned a long time ago that people who cannot find their belly buttons are not the real thing. However, if the posh chap wishes to discuss this matter with other posh chaps he can chatter to Dr Graham Wagstaff of Liverpool University (I believe) or Theodore Barber, Peter Blythe, Nicholas Spanos, Irving Kirsch, William Coe, Theodore Sarbin and other assorted posh people, psychologists and professors who believe the concept of hypnosis is absolute fiction.

Now I do realise that the odd one or two of the above list are now in the spirit world but do not despair. In my capacity as a Psychic Reverend and spiritualist medium I can put you in touch with them for a small fee.

I am sorry that Paul Goldin's opinion is not good enough for you despite the fact that he was possibly the greatest stage hypnotist of the 20th century. Perhaps Kreskin's opinion might be more suitable for you. He has on many occasions said publicly that hypnosis is bunkum. Now some have said to me that Kreskin says this for showmanship purposes so possibly the opinion of the exalted Gil Boyne might be better since he didn't want his opinion made public. Still when Mark Lewis gets hold of information it is worse than Wikileaks. Martin Breese told me "Gil Boyne sat in that very chair you are sitting in and told me that hypnosis was baloney". And Boyne wrote all those learned articles full of posh language that could even outposh Mr Stewart. Come to think of it so did Paul Goldin. I will admit, however, that neither of them could speak Latin.

However, there is one opinion that even supercedes the opinion of all those legendary hypnotists and psychologists. That is the opinion of MARK LEWIS. That should obviously be gospel and no other discussion is necessary.

Now to address the rather working class illiterate chap I am afraid I do not understand a word he says even though he is not speaking Latin. The only thing I can figure out is that he seems to be saying that I lack experience in this matter. I must admonish the child that I am MARK LEWIS and I have "hypnotised" hundreds of people and I know the difference between people who are in a real trance and those who are daft enough to think they are.

I am getting a horrible feeling that this young man is one of those daft "Street Hypnotists" who accost innocent passers by and do odd things to them. I would suggest he seeks a deeper education in these matters by reading a book entitled "They Call it Hypnosis" by Robert Baker and published by Prometheus Publications. Alas I think he may not be able to understand all the big words therein but I am sure Mr Stewart will. This book explains in posh language that "hypnosis" is a load of old cobblers.

Alas there seems to be no Latin in it at first glance.

Again I have tilted at this idiotic windmill many a time.

Fact is Mark freely admits in hypnosis. "Those daft enough to believe the are in trance" is what the rest of us call hypnosis. He LOVES to start and argue this point. In the end you guys are arguing semantics plain and simple.

Further, WHO CARES?!!!!!!!!!1
