Studies show that people who have above average intelligence who are capable of concentrating and who have the capacity for creativity and vivid imagination usually make the best subjects.

This question comes from stage hypnosis. The hypnotist makes it look like they can make people do something they don’t want to do. People who volunteer for stage shows want to have fun and do not necessarily want to take responsibility for their actions. Even then, when a subject comes up against some thing they really don’t want to do, they don’t and the hypnotist dismisses them to go back to their seat in the audience. Anyway, if it was possible to make someone do something they don’t want to do, then why do they still have to use guns to rob banks?

Hypnosis is not sleep and the person is not unconscious. A person in hypnosis is actually mentally alert and focused while their body is very relaxed and comfortable.
