Hypnosis Ivanovich

You're ten years old. You're afraid of riding in elevators, getting your hair cut, vaccinations, certain constellations, you get nauseous when walking, and you can't stand it when they sweep? Or do you have other strange fears? You are welcome to an appointment with Hypnosis Ivanovich! He can hypnotize even a boa constrictor. He will introduce you to White Voronovna, summon gnomes and salamanders from the astral. He will also teach you to write poetry with feminine and masculine rhymes, to become empty, to fall in love with foreign spies, to sing as well as Shalyapin, and to swim in the Universe like atoms and molecules. And at the same time, he will deal with elevators and your other fears. And you will never forget him. Even when you grow up.
