A mentalist and hypnosis show combined with a murder mystery!
MK-Ultra was the name of an illegal operation that the CIA secretly carried out between 1953 and 1973. The idea was to use drugs, brainwashing, torture, and hypnosis to control people. They wanted to be able to control politicians, control public opinion, but above all, to program a person to commit a murder and then have no memory of the event.

In this performance, Bobbo talks in more detail about MK-Ultra and, using mentalism and hypnosis techniques, demonstrates how it is possible to control people. Some examples are that he takes away someone's ability to read, influence the participants' decisions, make someone forget what they had drawn 20 seconds earlier, or take away someone's strength so that the person cannot even tear up a piece of paper.

The twist in the performance is that it is also an interactive murder investigation with the audience. All participants are either witnesses or a suspected murderer. But of course they have lost their memory.
