In comedy stage hypnotism, the participants are always volunteers. The hypnotist typically invites audience
members to come up on stage and participate voluntarily. The selection process can vary depending on the
hypnotist's style or preferences. Some hypnotists may ask for volunteers to raise their hands, while others
may use quick introductory activities or tests to determine the level of suggestibility and choose
participants from those who are interested. The process is designed to create a fun and engaging experience
for the volunteers
