talents dont end here He is also capable of sending people on mis sions to Mars in space shuttles to fight carnivorous aliens He can bring Elvis back to life and send others on tobogganing rides down Mount Everest No Mr Santini has never graced the pages of a supermarket tabloid But he has toured the pro vince for the last several years mesmerizing audiences as an escape artist and hypnotist Using the power of persuasion Mr Santini says he can get people to do some strange and bizarre things In one show an audience member who volunteered to go to Mars got so carried away that upon leaving the club he looked in to the night and started running around the parking lot shooting at aliens It took two bouncers to bring the man under control said Mr San He says hypnosis is an appeal to a persons

to build a persons trust and imagina tion levels The first such test might be where a person is asked to imagine standing on a building ledge The person is then told that leaning backwards means safety while leaning forwards equals death The faster someone sways backwards the better candidate the person will make said Mr San The tests continue until the person enters a relaxed and the imagination opens like a flood gate The hill the more you accept the more outrageous the BETTY Balliiun Correspondent The Robert Burns Buffet Dinner and Dance Saturday proved to be a superb evening Mr
