It was entertainment night at the senior citizens' center.
After the community sing led by Douglas and his guitar.
It was time for the Star of the Show-Claude the Hypnotist!

Claude explained that he was going to put the whole audience into a
trance.

"Yes, each and every one of you and all at the same time." said Claude.
The excited chatter dropped to silence as Claude carefully withdrew from
his waistcoat pocket A beautiful antique gold pocket watch and chain.

"I want you to keep your eyes on this watch" said Claude, holding the
watch high for all to see.

"It is a very special and valuable watch that has been in my family for
six generations" said Claude.

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting
"Watch the watch --- Watch the watch ----Watch the watch"

The audience became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth.
The lights twinkling as they were reflected from its gleaming surfaces.
A hundred and fifty pairs of eyes followed the movements of the gently
swaying watch.

And then,
Suddenly,
The chain broke!!!
The beautiful watch fell to the stage and burst apart on impact"

Surprised
