Hypnotist David Days knocked out during show

Hypnotist David Days was knocked out during a live show in Dorset, leaving three of his volunteers stuck 'asleep' on stage.

Days was performing at Portland's Royal Manor Theatre when he accidentally tripped over a participant's leg, according to BBC News.

When his team could not wake him, the audience was asked to leave the theatre, apart from the three people still on stage.

Days soon recovered and was able to 'wake up' the guests. The hypnotist also carries a voice recording to bring people around, his manager confirmed.

His manager Tara Nix said: "He was out for a little while and that is why we asked the audience to leave.

"Three people were left on stage but we always have a back-up tape and a back-up hypnotist to step in if needed.

"Luckily, it wasn't too long until he recovered and he and the guests are fine. To be honest I think this is the first time it has ever happened to a hypnotist."

Audience member Fiona Faye said: "He was pulled from stage and there was loads of commotion from a number of people backstage including one man who ran to the other side of the stage to get a first aid kit.

"At first the audience, including us, found it very funny and thought it was part of the act, but as time went on we began to realise that it was not part of the show and he had actually hurt himself.

"At this point we become very worried not only for David Days but also the guests that were on stage oblivious to anything as they were still hypnotised. They simply just sat there 'asleep'."

David Days has previously appeared on Ministry of Mayhem, hypnotising the boyband Blue.
