Derren Brown takes his debunking mission to America. In a country where his mind control skills are unknown, he set out once again to show us, not that our beliefs are wrong, but just how easy it is to dupe people into believing impossible things before breakfast.
He tried to convince five leading figures that he had powers in their particular field of expertise: Christian evangelism, alien abduction, psychic powers, New Age theories and contacting the dead.
Using a false name each time, he succeeded in convincing four of the five "experts" that he had powers, and they openly endorsed him as a true practitioner.
As well as the stated aim to get a reputable authority to endorse the results of his experiments, the other agenda in the programme was to encourage people to investigate what they believe more rigorously.
