A German man is claiming he can hypnotise people with his ears.
I once made a group of people walk around the stage like a train - and one guy even came round believing he was a Japanese comedian
Hannibal Helmurto, 39, says if someone stares at the rotating discs he has put in his stretched lobes he can make them do anything.
The circus performer - who says he took up hypnotism to help his sword swallowing - said: "I found out straight away it was easier hypnotising people with my ears than my eyes.
"I once made a group of people walk around the stage like a train - and one guy even came round believing he was a Japanese comedian. But he couldn't speak a word of Japanese so it was just the words he believed in his own mind were right."
