Not Working?
Derren Brown has a system for winning at the horses. In this one-hour special, the maestro of mind control anonymously tells a single mum from London which horse will win at the next day's races - again and again - culminating in a final, massive bet.

(watch it first)
I guess a calm understated denunciation of homeopathy was as far as he could go on TV, can't really tear directly into religion, the paranormal, Scientology, etc all at once and still maintain his wholesome entertainer image. I guess I at least thought he'd mention that the finale costs him 20,000 pounds, seeing as how she was such a moron that the 'moral' didn't come through too strongly.
Btw, the term is "Confirmation Bias", a chief reason pseudo-science gets so far.
