How Suggestible Are You?

I didn’t see the TV programme in question, but today’s review in the Guardian makes me wish I had. The programme was Derren Brown: The Heist. Derren Brown has made a name for himself as a mentalist, and in this programme he demonstrated that ‘normal’ people can be persuaded to act in deviant, crinimal or irrational ways. It’s really quite a worrying thought.
