Illusionist Derren Brown put a Roehampton University student into a trance and woke him up in Morocco, a newspaper has reported.
Richard Critchlow, 21, found himself in a chaotic Marrakech market after sleeping through a 13-hour trip.
He stumbled out of a photo booth in the North African state after being hypnotised in an identical one in England.
Brown told the Daily Mirror: “He was in a deep sleep. He had no sense of any time passing at all.
“His profound bewilderment eventually gave way to huge delight.”
After being hypnotised, Mr Critchlow from Wolverhampton was whisked off to Heathrow Airport.
The student was slumped in a wheelchair as he was put on a plane, flown to Morocco then wheeled through passport control.
He was then placed in the set-up booth in Marrakech’s Djema al Fna market.
He emerged looking dumbstruck, as street sellers approached him with dates, nuts and juice, the paper said.
He was allowed to wander through the streets before Brown let him in on the prank.
Mr Crichlow had answered an advertisement to appear on Brown’s new show Trick or Treat on Channel 4 next month.
