By Derren Brown. I was sent this a few days ago on Facebook and I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Although I did get a little uncomfortable with the climax, it seemed a little... cruel(?). Still an amazing show for those interested in this stuff- psychology of religious experience, emotional manipulation, etc.
I was also particularly fascinated by section 30:38 to 35:55, given the recent discussions I've been in over at Booktalk about the phenomenon of apophenia, of which this was a perfect demonstration.

I have been waiting for more Derren Brown material to surface, this is brilliant! And the unbearable climaxes that he presents is what I relish most about his work.
