A hypnotist & illusionist on how easy to make you believe

Hypnotist and illusionist Derren Brown plays Messiah ... showing how easy it is to make people believe they have been touched by God and become a believer.

We are rightly or wrongly buying into very powerful belief systems ... I am not interest in attacking anyone's beliefs but as intelligent human beings we should be able to question our beliefs and the people who encourage us to make life decisions on the basis of the information they give us.

See: Derren Brown Messiah performing an instant conversion.

In his book, "Tricks of the Mind", Derren Brown writes:

"I am often dishonest in my techniques, but always honest about my dishonesty .

As I say in each show, I mix magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. I happily admit cheating, as it is all part of the game. I hope some of the fun for the viewer comes from not knowing what is real and what is not. I am an entertainer first and foremost, and I am careful not to cross any moral line that would take me into manipulating people's real-life decisions or belief system".
