Everyone has done a pub crawl; if you haven’t, you’re boring. Most people have managed to eat their way through a prix fixe meal; if not, you’re probably a philistine. Most individuals, however, have not managed to do both at the same time; if you have, it’s time to pat…

Stage hypnotist Rich Guzzi has learned to expect the unexpected. In one memorable performance, he instructed 15 hypnotized audience volunteers to compose and perform a rap song onstage — in Chinese.

Noting the over-the-top adulation accorded his glamorous wife, Jackie, during their state visit to France, President John F.
