It is not possible to hypnotise a whole crowd unless you selected that crowd before by testing them if they are all easy believers, easy to hypnotise. What you see in the halls is partly fake, they keep the people where hypnotise is working for (pick them out of the crowd) and get them all together and work with them (or for example on tv). You have to believe strongly that is will work and your own will shouldn't be that strong and you should surely not have doubts about what the magicians are doing. It is a free choice to get hypnotised, if you won't agree with it, it won't work. And if it comes to bringing a group of people under one's command: I think this is what already is happening since ages in some religions, countries, cultures. And yes that is dangerous esp. for those who don't follow the leader.
