Do not challenge Derren Brown to a staring contest

This is crazier if it's real. Apparently, he uses blank sheets of paper to buy a fish filet and a $4500 platinum ring. He tries to buy a hot dog with it, but fails.

Note that in the ones where he succeeds, he uses the whole "confusing subway" deal.

I think I'm gonna watch this one, where he beats nine chess players, many of them grandmasters, simultaneously, but apparently he explains how he does it.

EDIT: He explains it at the end. Very, very crafty.

EDIT2: Hahaha hoooooooly moly:

That is just unbelievable. He explains how he does it at the end, once again.

Derren Brown uses witchcraft to cheat at staring contests. How immoral.

It's obvious that there is a sonic or microwave attack in use here. Notice they stand on a platform. Each time he places the person in the same spot. Using very low voltage slowly scaling up on a pain emitter would do the trick here, especially with a low harmonic freq.
