Hypnotized Guy Injured on Imaginary Horse

Posted Nov 6th 2008 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

Some poor bastard who was hypnotized into believing he was riding a horse on a Vegas stage wants payback after steering his invisible steed right off the damn stage.

In a Nevada suit, Chad Lee claims that last year, hypnotist Thom Kaz put him under a spell during his Vegas show at Harrah's. He also says Kaz told Lee to "look between his legs and ride a prop," commanding him to believe it was a "black horse." Then, says Lee, he "ran off an elevated stage with the prop between his legs believing he was riding a black horse."

The lawsuit claims Lee was injured, but fails to be specific. Can you sue over injured pride?

Harrah's couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

3. Hypnosis doesn't cause blindness or stupidity. He was already stupid.

5. No video?? Aww...

This guy is an idiot. Hypnosis doesn't make you do things you wouldn't normally do- so I guess normally, the guy's an idiot. "I fell off my imaginary horse!"

*snicker*

7. Hey Chad Lee, did you check to see if your attorney's diploma was real or imagined? Cause any idiot, I mean attorney, that has done his research will tell you that hypnosis won't make you do things you wouldn't normally do.

Here's your imaginary settlement.

10. This guy sounds like a good guy. It is a shame that a place of this size is tring to fight about giving this poor bastard a little money to deal with whatever he may of had to go through. Maybe with a little help from Harrah's they wont have to refer to this guy as a poor bastard. godd luck chad with your case.

11. According to the American Psychological Association's Division 30, hypnosis may bring about "...changes in subjective experience, alterations in perception, sensation, emotion, thought or behavior."[4] This was found on wikipedia. people should look things up, if they don't know what they are taking about.

12. No need to feel sorry for this chump. I know this guy and he is indeed an idiot.

13. If someone is going to leave a comment they should really consider doing their research so that they know what they are talking about. Look up hypnosis in any encyclopedia or dictionary and it says "altered state of conciousness." Unless you have the facts straight and know what actually happened it's probably a good idea to just keep your mouth shut.

15. You know who ARE the idiots? All of you people posting nasty comments. Chad would be an idiot if he DIDN't sue! All of you making these posts will eat your words when Chad is awarded the $$$ he is entitled. And don't act like if you had a freak accident and were injured you wouldn't sue!!! -----HATERS
