What does "mesmerizing" mean?

The show was totally mesmerizing that I was on the edge of the seat all along the show..

Her singing was spellbinding. I never believed she could sing such beautifully!

Sara was altogether intrigued by movie. 

His words were hypnotizing, she even agreed to everything he told her although she wasn’t intending to!

Oh!

Such a bad experience Olya!:(

But hypnotizing is a science and some doctors use that for its benefits like some surgeries and mental problems!

Thanks for your explanation!

Then a person can make us mesmerize by his/hers beauty too!;-)

Mahtab, I think when you’re mesmerized, you like it so much that you don’t notice anything around, sit motionless, listen all ears – you like so much that don’t notice who the time has gone. Like a movie, for example. You’re mesmerized by the movie.

To be  hypnitized is a little bit different. Like I was once, by a person. I wasn’t interested, but the energy got me and I was following a person to every corner and that was in my house! When I the spell was gone, I couldn’t find the money that openly were put on the shelf. A good lesson for me. Some people are susceptible to be hypnotized, some are not. I belong to the first ones, unfortunately.

Whats the difference between “mesmerizing” and “hypnotizing” ?

Is “mesmerizing” is tricky and “hypnotizing” is not?!
