Since witnessing my first hypnotism show 13 years ago at the San Benito County Fair, I’ve wondered the same question many others have pondered: Is it possibly real, or do the participants merely go along with a staged act?

As the sensibly named Colin Kosmicki grows up in Brighton, N.Y., he won’t have to routinely, despondently spell out his first name to baristas or anyone else requesting clarification at counters. He won’t have to worry about filling any charity quotas before approaching the Pearly Gates, because he sealed the deal a full decade before he’ll sniff a tax benefit. He won’t have to suffer through puberty wondering if any girls would possibly notice more than his Hostess-infused obliques, outsized head and general unease.
