The Heist - 48 minutes well spent

Spend the 48 minutes it will take to watch this video of The Heist, hosted by Darren Brown. It's an experiment on the power of persuasion and what it can do to a seemingly 'normal' person.

This is one of the most interesting videos I've watched in a long, long time. To see what Darren was able to do with these people with plan as specific as his was amazing.
My heart was racing during the last 15 minutes or so when it all went down. I had a disbelief in anything happening. I won't ruin the ending, as its quite exhilarating and saying how it goes may give things away.

It was very interesting to watch, but a bit hard for me to believe at the end.
Though I will admit, a lot of what he breezed over in the talks (reading eye movement and gestures to catch a liar) was very cool and I'd love to learn more about those kinds of things.
