The Late Henri Bource - shark victim who became shark film maker with his "Savage Shadows".
Using self-hypnosis Henri Bource convinced himself – and many close friends – he was not handicapped. One friend criticized him for parking in a ‘disabled persons’ parking place! With an artificial leg, from the knee joint down, he walked with a stiff ankle. Soon after his ‘accident’ (he never used the term shark attack) he considered joining the Australian army – as a commando. So powerful is hypnosis.
