David Days knocked out

David Days knocked out. Three people were left hypnotised on stage when a hypnotist knocked himself out during a show in Dorset. David Days was performing at Portland's Royal Manor Theatre on Friday when he tripped over a participant's leg. His team could not rouse him and the audience was asked to leave while the people were still "asleep" on stage.
They were "woken up" soon after when Mr Days recovered. His manager said the performer has a voice recording which can be used to bring people round. Mr Days, who has hypnotised members of the pop band Blue on television, did not require hospital treatment, his manager Tara Nix said.

'Loads of commotion'

She added: "He was out for a little while and that is why we asked the audience to leave.
"Three people were left on stage but we always have a back-up tape and a back-up hypnotist to step in if needed.

"Luckily, it wasn't too long until he recovered and he and the guests are fine.
"To be honest I think this is the first time it has ever happened to a hypnotist."

Audience member Fiona Faye said: "He was pulled from stage and there was loads of commotion from a number of people backstage including one man who ran to the other side of the stage to get a first aid kit.
"At first the audience, including us, found it very funny and thought it was part of the act, but as time went on we began to realise that it was not part of the show and he had actually hurt himself.

"At this point we become very worried not only for David Days but also the guests that were onstage oblivious to anything as they were still hypnotised.

"They simply just sat there 'asleep'."
