Derren Brown, a talented practician of “psychology, misdirection, ambiguity, deception and suggestion” replaces the birthday wishlist in the head of actor, producer and stand-up comedian Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scottie in Star Trek).
Brown asks Pegg to write down what he wants for this birthday. However, Brown buys Pegg a completely unrelated gift – a red BMX bike. Within 5 minutes of speaking with Pegg, Brown has Pegg convinced that he’s always wanted a BMX bike. Watch how Brown pulls it off using Neuro-linguistic Programming.
