This is a very interesting video I found...it's shocking somehow and impressive. It tell us about how our mind work, and how similar we all are, and specially, how easy is to fool a person with the right elements, and the right abilites. I hope someone finds it useful. It's also useful for practicing english and it also has some spanish in it, both the accents are pretty clear in the video.
