Magician cons real people into accepting blank paper as money

Derren Brown is a popular English magician (among other things) and host of the popular UK television series, Mind Control.

In this clip, he achieves the seemingly impossible, conning people into accepting blank paper as money.

Who do you think would be more likely to fall for his ruse? A street-corner hotdog vendor or an upmarket diamond merchant?

    Just goes to show how distracted people can be when they are talking and how easy it is for them to make a mistake. They probably haven’t been exposed to anything like that before either. I wonder if the jeweler found him…

    its not just distracted people. One thing I have learned in life is that you always count the cash, even if your father is giving it to you. always count it. the guy in the jewelery was at fault as he didnt even count the money. What if was real money and only $4300 rather than $4500?? Dont think its real. looks very staged to me.
