Everything we've seen so far is that mind control spells are considered pretty high-end magic. Additionally, the Chimera's attempt to hypnotise Apple Bloom failed, so it's possible that earth ponies have a high resistance to them.

Flim and Flam don't strike me as being powerful enough unicorns to pull off something like that. Their power seems to be more in the area of machine-building and other forms of mechanoempathy.
