Struck off from the medical register for gross abuse of patients' bodies, Dr Smith turned to another outlet for his devious tricks: the entertainment industry.
Selling his services to rugby clubs and stag night, he rapidly developed a reputation for shows that pushed the envelope of what was acceptable.
He would quickly work out which men in his audiences were both cute and easily suggestible by suggesting that it would be a good idea to take their shirts off and show their chests to the audience.
Then he would have them clasp their hands behind their heads. He would suggest that the more embarrassed they felt the tighter their hands would grip in that position. His viscious circle was simply: exposure, embarrassment, firmer grip, more exposure. Then he brought the guy up to full consciousness but asked him, politely, to keep his hands in position.
Then he would have another member of the audience come on stage. Dr Smith would announce that the newly arrived member of the audience would slowly pull down the first person's clothes, exposing his dick for the audience. Of course, this was embarrrassing just to hear suggested so the hands would grip and the victim would start squirming. The fun could begin.
Dr Smith would invite other people to walk past and laugh at the poor victim, stopping him from moving in the process.
After that, Smith would ask the victim if he would like to drop his hands. Then he would snap his finger and the hands would be released.
Unfortunately for the victim, his hands didn't fall where he wanted, but snapped behind his back where the whole process could begin again for the next row of the audience.
Other people only got to free a single hand, and it really humiliated them on stage.
If there was a particularly cute guy, Smith would make sure to show him off as best he could. And even if both hands were freed, they would obey Smith, and not thir owner.
Part of the disclaimer the entire audience signed to get their tickets allowed him to use pictures from his show as publicity. It seemed like such a harmless clause on the way in.
A common trick he would pull would be to leave them at the side of the stage as “scenery” for the next bit of the show. If any of them lost thir embarrassment they could get away but few did. If he ever spotted one ready to get away he would have them change position to draw attention back to them.
There were complaints, of course. This guy took part in a show. He was quite a proud guy, boasting how he could never be hypnotized, so Dr Smith made him beg “plese, pretty please, pretty please with a cherry on top” to be allowed to drop his hands.
Wish granted!
Until Dr Smith snapped his fingers again and added him to the scenery.
So he came round to Dr Smith's office to complain and demand the pictures vanish. Instead he ended up naked, unable to unglue his hands and knees from the chair. Dr Smith likes scenery in his office too.
But Dr. Smith wasn't the only one to take advantage like this. He had a bad habit of leaving the victims in a suggestible state where other people could trigger the state again.
One day, Dr Smith received some fan mail, showing one of his victims, several nights later. His housemates had worked out how to turn the hypnotic state on again. They had to leave him alone for hours for the embarrassment, and hence the lock, to wear off. Of course they took a photograph first.
Other groups of “friends” sent whole bunches of photos.
Soon, Smith left the suggestions in place deliberately just to see what fan mail he got.
And after that, he took requests. This poor college boy was left “switched on” for his friends' amusement (and Dr Smith' wallet). Every team shower ended with him putting on a show.
But the victim could never remember the best bit of the show. He just knew that he enjoyed taking showrs with the team and never wanted to miss one.
Other victims remembered their post-act ordeals all too clearly. After suffering two different poses on stage, his flat mates had this guy glued to the sofa while they phoned all his friends. Once they arrived he was switched to having his hands stuck behind his back for the rest of the evening.
