One of my favourite bottling routines started with the great Phil Free. He would swing a watch on a chain and tell the crowd he was hypnotising them. Then he would tell them that their eyelids were growing heavy. Next up, they would feel their right arms rising into the air. Then the right arms would become heavy. Then they would move slowly down into pockets to pull out wallets... It's not really funny to read about, but it was hilarious to watch. Now don't you start me off on busking routines, Les, or I'll bore the pants off you and monopolise the thread!
