Derren Brown: Pushed to the Edge

[robvalue]

That's a good summary.

You can tell he doesn't know shit about it when it came to a coin flipping game and a trick strategy, and he said it works because of "a kind of deep maths". It wasn't deep at all, but the fact he thinks it is reveals a lot.

He is generally awesome, which is why this failure stands out so badly.

But seriously, when he manipulates people to extreme degrees, what would be the consequences if they took him to court rather than laughing and signing release forms? He's done some heavy shit, unless it's just a fix which he swears it isn't.
