The soothing music.A calm voice speaking into the microphone. These things sent some MSU students into a state of deep relaxation during two shows presented by hypnotist Thomas Bresadola on Saturday at the International Center.About 50 people were in attendance for the first show, which featured students thinking they were at a racetrack or flying in an airplane.The event was sponsored by the University Activities Board.I have been studying hypnotic powers since I was 17, and I became a full-time hypnotist when I was 27, said Bresadola, who lives in New York.Bresadola has worked with people with high amounts of stress, those who are trying to quit smoking and athletes.Athletes are basically the same when it comes to being physical, but the mental part is also important, he said.
