Here's a very interesting video by Derren Brown, a British illusionist, mentalist, painter, writer and sceptic (More on Wikipedia). What's interesting about Derren is that even if he performs mind reading feats, he claims that there are no psychic powers involves. He says his acts are done only through magic tricks, suggestion, psychology and misdirection.
In this video Derren sets out on a journey to expose the fraud of faith healers. He picks a regular person and trains him to become a faith healer who can cure people through the power of God.
The video is quite long, a little over an hour, but is worth watching as he unveils how those healing scams to which people donate millions and millions of dollars.
This goes a long way to show that what we see, hear and feel is not always what it seems.
