Need a little advice?

A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I went to Busch Gardens and while we were walking around one of the "street performers" a hypnotist came up and started talking to us. He was talking about how he could hypnotize people easily "like that" he said with a snap of his fingers. He asked if he could hypnotize my girlfriend, and she was ok with it, so so was I. Anyway...he hypnotized her really really good, fast. He had her look into his eyes and talked to her real easy like and soft and pretty soon she started swaying back and forth and her eyelids got real heavy and boom she was out. Anyway...here is the weird part: He guided her sleeping body down on the edge of this fountain we were next to and by this time there was a crowd around and it wa all pretty cool. However, after he laid her down he moved down ando took off her flip flops saying "I want to make it easier for her to rest" and then sort of touched/played with her feet, which..was odd...and then he was like "look shes really asleep" and tickled her soles, and had an onlooker do it too. After that he did regular routines like make her cluck like a chicken, forget her name and numbers and stuff so that was cool. She woke up with no memory of what happened feeling relaxed and refreshed, but...the feet thing...that was weird...so...what do you in answer land think was up with that? Let me know. :)
