Did anyone else see this show t'other day?
Summary: The aim of the show was to get people to question their beliefs by showing how a charlatan (himself) was able to convince people that he had supernatural powers. He went to the United States and, using pseudonyms, convinced five powerful people of different belief systems to 'endorse' him.
He could 'converted' non-believers to the way of the Lord with a touch.
He detected someones medical history simply by looking at them.
He demonstrated his amazing invention; a box which could record and replay dreams.
He contacted the dead relatives of people in a studio audience.
He 'remote read' what someone in another room was drawing.
Thoughts? I would have liked him to explain how he did them, but alas I suppose that would make him less mysterious. I loved the show, though.

influential figures at the top of their field and demonstrate to each of them an ability I have which is somehow proof to them of my talents in that particular field. I allow them to decide how much they are going to endorse it and embrace it. If, at any point they ask me if this is some sort of trick I will confess and tell them. The aim is to get pledges of support.
