Three subsequent chapters-by Coe; Gwynn and Spanos; and Gorassini-examine the role of compliance and imagination in various hypnotic phenomena.

Sie war die teuerste Weinflasche aller Zeiten: Ausgegraben in einem zugemauerten Pariser Keller soll die Flasche Château Lafite Bordeaux 1787 einst im Besitz des amerikanischen US-Präsidenten und Weinliebhabers Thomas Jefferson gewesen sein. Entdeckt wurde sie von Hardy Rodenstock, der sich vom Musikmanager zum Sammler besonderer alter Weine entwickelt hatte. 1985 wurde der spektakuläre Fund im renommierten Christie's, London, von Auktionator Michael Broadbent versteigert. Für die gewaltige Summe von $ 156.000 ging diese einzigartige Flasche an die Familie Forbes. Gerüchte über den Fundort, die dubiosen Hintergründe und die Echtheit der Weinflasche folgten. Es brauchte mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte um Licht in das Dunkel zu bringen. Benjamin Wallace recherchierte, was damals passierte. Viele schillernde Figuren der Weinwelt tauchen in seiner Geschichte auf.

Best-seller New York Times Em 1985, num disputado leilão promovido pela Christie’s de Londres, uma garrafa de bordeaux Château Lafite de 1787 foi arrematada num lance de 156 mil dólares por um membro da família Forbes. Foi a garrafa de vinho mais cara da história. Ela provinha de um esconderijo descoberto numa adega murada em Paris, e supostamente pertencera a Thomas Jefferson, terceiro presidente dos Estados Unidos.
