Hypnotised student wakes up in Marrakech
TV hypnotist Derren Brown put a student in a trance - and woke him up Morocco’s chaotic Marrakech market. Roehampton University student Richard Critchlow, 21, slept through the 13-hour trip.
He stumbled out of a photo booth in Marrakech after being hypnotised in an identical one in England. Brown said: “He was in a deep sleep. He had no sense of any time passing at all. His profound bewilderment eventually gave way to huge delight.” After being hypnotised, Mr Critchlow, from Wolverhampton, was whisked off to Heathrow Airport. He was slumped in a wheelchair as he was put on a plane, flown to Morocco then wheeled through passport control. He was then placed in the set-up booth in Marrakech’s Djema al Fna market. He emerged looking dumbstruck, as street sellers approached him with dates, nuts and juice, the paper said.
He was allowed to wander through the streets before Brown let him in on the prank. Mr Crichlow had answered an ad to appear on Brown’s new show Trick or Treat on Channel 4 next month. ananova
