It’s great to hear that Russian police have begun using hypnosis more and more to help solve crimes (here) . . . but since when are the words hypnotist and psychic used interchangeably? Last I checked, while many psychics are indeed hypnotists, most hypnotists are NOT psychics. These are two very different monkeys. The example…

I particularly like how this image turned out. As an automatic drawing (or, scribble as often is the case), I did not consciously guide my hand.
