just watched the worms hypnotism scene and the movie's getting real good towards the end.
so what do you think really happened during the worms hypnotism scene? Mr Wriggles actually made worms and a big giant worm pop out of the guy which freaked out Car or did Car somehow pull a fast one on the girl and that Car managed to trick everyone or what?
No, Mr. Wriggles had nothing to do with the effect Car elicited. Car was demonstrating the Power of Suggestion. He suggested Gus's vermiphobia (fear of worms) in the beginning of the demo. He then hypnotized Gus, many of live audience members, June, Jack, and perhaps some of the people watching at home with his pocket watch/spiral machine. Through hypnosis, all of those people experienced the same illusion. Their imagination conjured up those horrific worms forcing their way out of Gus. Now Lily was NOT hypnotized. Remember, she was the only one laughing at the demonstration. She saw no worms, only a bald, portly sidekick disrobing on live television. When Car asked for the video of the demonstration to be played back, he proved it was the power of suggestion because everyone saw what Lily saw in the first place - a bald, portly sidekick disrobing on live television.
