the claim

Hypnosis can make people perform impossible feats.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that hypnosis can make people perform impossible feats?

Partly. Some older reference and textbook fragments assert that hypnotized people can perform feats of strength or endurance they would otherwise find impossible, but these are brief, unverified statements. A Wikipedia overview instead attributes stage-hypnosis feats to participant selection, suggestibility and trickery rather than genuinely impossible abilities.
