Watch "The Heist" performed by Derren Brown - a british hypnotist. The episode appeared in Channel4. I am not sure where to get it in the US or elsewhere.(psst,psst ..torrent).

He convinces a group of 4 middle manager types to rob a 100,000 pounds from a bank. He selects his subjects by using the milgram experiment. I was shocked by the results. See it to believe it.

(Edit:Earlier I thought it was Stanford prison.expt.Its milgram.expt).

is the part where he does the milgram expt.


Cool, in the US, the people would be arrested after the show (see 'to catch a predator', senator foot tapper, etc.).


the entire heist was completely fake, everyone was in on it.

It still really upsets me to see people convicted and sent to jail for not committing any crimes, like To Catch a Predator and the senate foot tapper.
