A HYPNOTIST is helping lap dancers lure men into spending more money on their sexy shows.
Entertainer Grant Saunders was called in by club boss Jason Armitage as takings slumped in the recession, The Sun reported.
Girls at Cleopatra's Lounge in Huddersfield , northern England , hope to keep spellbound punters forking out for £10 ($16) dances.
Mr Saunders, 34, said: "They will use a technique called anchoring. The man's subconscious mind becomes open to suggestion as a dancer speaks to him and gives him a little touch on the shoulder or the knee." But he added no one will be put in a trance.
"It's just about making them better saleswomen," Mr Saunders said while Mr Armitage added:"My girls could earn £5000 a week a few years ago. Now they're lucky to make £500."
LOL-Man allowed flying wearing women's underwear
US Airways has acknowledged that less than a week before having a college student arrested for allegedly refusing to hike up his saggy pants while boarding, the airline allowed a man wearing little more than women’s underwear, black thigh-high stockings and heels to fly.
On June 16, University of New Mexico football player Deshon Marman was removed from a US Airways flight at San Francisco International Airport and arrested for refusing to follow crew members’ requests to hike up his saggy pants.
THE weather in Scotland today is cloudy, with a chance of Nazis. But this didn't seem to faze BBC Scotland news anchor Catriona Shearer who handled the station's technical difficulties superbly.

Why-Scantily dressed visitors not allowed at jail
The city’s Department of Corrections has purchased some 750 T-shirts in an easy-to-track shade of bright green. The shirts, all size XXL, are meant to be shapeless on all but the heaviest frames. “We are trying to keep this a G-rated experience,” Sharman Stein, a spokeswoman for the department, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “If a visitor is dressed provocatively it could potentially spark a chain of events among inmates.”
Prison officials hope to reduce the possibility of inmates making comments about other inmates’ visitors’ appearance — be they derogatory or too appreciative — that could lead to flared tempers and even violence.
The rules also deal with the opposite concern: too much clothing, which might be used to conceal contraband.
