I love Derren Brown. I

I love Derren Brown. I wonder whether his job is harder now (in England) that people know who he is. I like the way that he does what he says he does, misdirection, sleight of hand, suggestion and illusion to produce amazing effects.

A few years ago he did a series filmed in America where he went to several different groups, claiming different experiences/skils like a clairvoyant, someone who'd been abducted by aliens and seeing whether he could convince experts that he was what he said. Most of them thought that he was a natural, but in fact he was using suggestion and so on.
