The experiment with lifting a person with the finger we did it at school. The "subject" was sitted and four kids lifted him with one finger each. The kids weren't chanting anything, it was the teacher (a strange one) who was whispering something to them before giving the signal to do the lifting. Maybe some form of hypnosis?
I saw also a performer once who looked as if he entered into some sort of a trance state, and many people tried to lift him from the ground with no success, as if he became extremely heavy. Not sure if it is related or it was a mere exercise of hypnotic suggestion.
