So hypnosis. I am not someone who really believes in it. There are a million shows here in Vegas that deal with hypnosis and I think that most of it is acting. People are up there and they want it to work and they want a story to take back home. I like that the show stated that hypnotist even say that a person can not be made to do anything under hypnosis that they wouldn't in every day life. The thing about the hypnosis and crime scenes is that information wouldn't be admissible in court due to it's lack of"science". Fighting fire with voice is an interesting idea. The unamplified voice myth, I think that might have been blown out with the air. But the amplified where you know it's not air was cool.moreless

In this episode the Mythbusters explore the possibility that fire can be extinguished by sound waves. Half the team works on another myth about hypnosis. What really bothered me about this show is it made me feel I was being ripped off....moreless

Mid way through the show Adam and Jamie set up a skit that they will use to test Hypnosis myths about being able to recall more facts under hypnosis. They enter the shop and we see the rest of the team doing that experiment from last season? or was it older than that? It is the episode where they spin the chair around and have grant tap his head on tennis balls to make him sick then test a cure. Seeing this made me feel like I was getting cheated and told this is a new episode when in reality it was something they pulled off the cutting room floor that had been sitting there for a long time.moreless
