In the first episode of this two-part special, Derren examines the ‘placebo effect’ by introducing a group of willing test subjects to the effects of a newly-developed drug – Rumyodin – which can inhibit fear.
In the second episode, Derren looks at the psychological roots of religious belief. In one experiment, we see an atheist given moving conversion experience through purely secular techniques.
