Buying Goods with Blank Paper - Darren Brown

submitted by eatbolt

1 decade 4 years 2 months ago

Darren Brown goes around to various shops, purchasing items with completely blank pieces of paper. He distracts the people just as he hands them the money (so they don't look at it, I guess) and walks out with the goods. It's almost unbelievable, but it looks legit.

I don't understand the fish monger or the jeweler...Brown didn't even state what he handed him. You'd think a person, even distracted, would at least look down to see what denomination was handed them. Now, if he said "Can you make change for a twenty" or something to denote what the bill "should" have been, I can see him potentiality slipping through. But the dude handed him change back....it doesn't make sense.

The hotdog vendor reacted appropriately.

And white paper...the white really catches the eye...more believable if he was using lower denominations, but verbally pushing higher. "Here's $300 in nine twenties, nine tens, and six fives." while handing him $180 in lower bills.

Just seems kinda silly they wouldn't even blink at white paper.
