The concept of the show is to highlight the power of suggestion with regard to beliefs and people's abilities, and failure to question them.

The fifth expert, the Christian evangelist Curt Nordheilm, is reserved in his response; whilst impressed by Brown's performance, he does not agree to a public endorsement without at least meeting him again.

Derren Brown asked a leading figure at a psychic training school in Sedona, Arizona to go into another room and draw a number of simple pictures on any topic she wished.

On one occasion when Brown was telling the participant to draw the next picture, he instructed the lady to "let some ideas sail into your mind" and not to go "overboard on detail".

Derren Brown instructed a leading new-age theorist to sleep with a machine attached to her pillow for five days.

In conclusion, the pastor neither endorsed Brown's abilities as genuine nor denied them, but noted this was an unfamiliar form of conversion experience to him.

During the séance Brown convinced three women into believing that he was in contact with deceased loved ones and during the performance many tears were shed.

His conclusion is that belief systems work in similar ways: that people tend to hear only things that support their own ideas and ignore contradictory evidence; this principle is known in psychology as confirmation bias.
