Isn't it just?

It's really hard to make someone re-examine a belief system they have. It could be tarot, crystals, or Aunty Doris who reads tea leaves. Once you believe in something, you believe in it. This is why this experiment is so clever. Mr Brown makes them all think he is really a reader. They all go along with it. Some of the people CRY because of the accuracy.

Then BOOM, he gives the punchline.

When that happens, you cannot help but question what you believed was true...

Shame his TV series over in the States wasn't as well received as it was over here. I love his work.
