The work of a con artist
I’m watching a television show on the Sci-fi channel where Derren Brown, basically gets into people’s mind. The whole idea of what he does on the show astonishes me. I never realized how easy it is to get someone to hand over their keys, wallets, and belongings by just asking them several questions. Along with this, he pays stores with paper instead of money by asking them stupid questions that throw off the clerk’s mind. This somewhat scares me. The idea that someone could easily get away with something like this. Watching it amazes me, because the clerk will actually look at the paper and count it, but doesn’t realize it’s paper until Derren leaves the store with the goods. In a way, I don’t think that they should be presenting a show like this. I think that this show would give too many people ideas of how to con people out of money or other personal things.
