Derren Brown's 'The Power Of Suggestion' show

SouthCoastKevin [Edit] [Delete] 19:19, 11 January '05
Kind of carrying on the 'Do you believe?' thread, did any of you pop pickers catch Derren Brown's show last Friday (Jan 7th)?

He took 5 different belief systems that are in vogue at the moment in the US and he tried to convince an expert in each field that he had special talents. He's not known at all in America (so he said) so he could get away with inventing a false history and persona for each expert. He then met them in turn and used his pyschological trickery and suggestion techniques to convince them that he could read people's dreams, contact the dead or convert people to Christianity just by touching their shoulder etc.

Dead interesting it was! And frightening to see how easy it is to hoodwink people! Anyhow, did anyone catch the programme or were you all out doing more exciting things?
