Through Twain the mesmerizer was able to attract people to his show. However, Twain benefited shortly by feeling "famous" and adored. Twain later despised what he did and regretted it, but it was too late. Thus, I believe that the mesmerizer benefited more from Twain's trickery.
In Mark Twain's autobiography, the mesmerizer refers to an individual who practiced mesmerism, a form of hypnotism. Twain was skeptical of mesmerism and included an anecdote in his autobiography where he comically describes being hypnotized by a mesmerizer. The story highlights Twain's wit and skepticism towards unconventional practices.
After the mesmerizer left town, Twain discovered that he began doing things and signing contracts without realizing it. Twain then tracked down the mesmerizer and demanded an apology.
Mark Twain goes to the mesmerizer's show for four days straight and sits with other contestants on stage. He tries very hard to concentrate but can't. On the fourth night he pretends to fall asleep and gets chosen.
