Derren Brown's screaming stooges

[Sledge]

so I'd like this answered:

So can you say what would falsify your belief that she was acting?

I would also like this answered.

Derren Brown frequently uses actors or stooges despite his assertions to the contrary. Any participant supposedly acting unconsciously under hypnosis is, in reality, just acting- full stop.

This is just silly ...

He definitely uses actors in his tricks.

I've seen Simon Pegg and Stephen Fry on the show...

Actors that we know are actors don't count. But if he uses an actor that we don't recognize it's because he's trying to trick us... despite the fact that he's a stage magician and his job is to trick us.

We know it's a trick. But the trick is more impressive than that offered by the posters who keep spouting the equivalent of, "Professional wrestling is fake!"
