"Now....this whole episode demonstrated something quite interesting. Only 3 out of about 100 people were so susceptible to hypnosis that they went into a deep trance and forgot about normal reality and became very malleable to the will of the hypnotist. That's significant. I do not think most people can easily be hypnotized."

Keep in mind those people were self selected from a group of people who self selected by choosing to go to the show.
