By staff writers From: news.com.au January 07, 2010 1:38PM A SWORD-SWALLOWER who was practising hypnosis in a mirror has put himself in a trance for five hours.
Joanna Kirchmeier told The Sun she was "shocked" to find her husband Helmut transfixed in front of a mirror in their London home.
"He was just like a zombie staring at himself," she told The Sun.
"His pupils had gone really small, which is a sign of someone under hypnosis."
Mrs Kirchmeier said the only way she could bring her husband back was to call one of his teachers to talk him round over the phone.
Also known as Hannibal Helmurto, Helmut said he was learning hypnosis techniques so he could swallow swords.
His debut performance with the Circus of Horrors ended with a trip to intensive care after he skewered himself with a 120cm sabre.
Helmut said the last thing he remembered before falling into a trance was "getting up at 10am".
"I underestimated the techniques and how powerful they were," he said.
"I had seen it on TV and thought it was a right big spoof.
"I started reading and learning about it and it turns out it is not a big spoof at all."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
