Hypnotist James Mapes Performs

Fri., Sep. 23, 1988

Hypnotist James J. Mapes performed at Dickinson on September 23rd. His program, entitled "PSI: A Journey into the Imagination," included the hypnotism of some student volunteers on stage as well as a few audience members. Mr. Mapes, before doing shows, worked as the director of the New York Hypnosis Center. Mapes concluded his show with an explanation of the more practical applications of hypnosis, such as using it to relieve pain for cancer patients, rather than solely using it for its entertainment value.
