America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel has been suffering from germaphobia which means he has an irrational fear of germs.
The 59-year-old comedian-host won’t allow anyone to shake hands with him unless he wears latex gloves.
But after being hypnotized by contestant Chris Jones, the “Deal or No Deal” host couldn’t help himself but to shake hands with the hypnotist. Watch the video below how did it happened.
Before his hypnosis started, Chris Jones announced that his trick is too powerful that it can take effect even to those who are watching it in their television or online. One of the audiences even falls asleep likewise on what happened to Howie Mandel. But what made the crowd goes wild after Howie Mandel shakes his hand with Chris and he even shook the hands of his fellow judges.

If they had used Gutap instead of hypnosis his OCD would have been cured.
Hypnosis is so fascinating and so much fun. I have seen some of the most incredible things done by people but as soon as they come out of it all the change, most often, just melts away.
Howie. Was it good TV or really necessary?
I would say probably both. Very smart.
The meat of it though? The hypnotist delivered. Anyway, under hypnosis Howie shakes the guy’s hand. Amazing! Absolutely incredible. Plus the hypnotist even demonstrated before that Howie doesn’t like shaking hands. Asked him about. All the other judges saying, “Yep, he never
does it.” Pretty well known. Only does fist bumps.
But the hypnosis didn’t deal with the issue of OCD or germaphobe directly. It was only a misdirection. The power of suggestion that distracted people. People love distraction. It is so much fun.
Then MelB asks the most profound question.
Simply shocking.
She was moved. She desperately asked the hypnotist to make it permanent.
The hypnotist could not do it. He did not even try. What he did was put Howie back under and had him shake hands with the other judges. It was such good showmanship. Really well done. An attempt at appeasement but again when Howie came back out he didn’t remember. And he still would shake hands with the other judges.
Oh, how I wish I could see the look on Howie’s face when he watches the playback. But I truly do feel bad for him though. He is also going to be so hurt too. Why couldn’t he shake hands now when he so easily did it under hypnosis?
Too bad he didn’t come to see me. I could have gotten him through it. And not with hypnosis either. This is exactly why Gutap was created. How to change any programming all the way to our core.
