I've just watched that on iPlayer (42 minutes in, if anyone wants to do the same). Quite remarkable!
I just did too. I was disapointed that a watch wasnt involved.
I assume the police provide the footage. As the chances that the owner would be that side of the counter with the days taking in his pockets seems fishy. And that he got hypno-robbed.

I see your point, but that's got to be a risky strategy... If it's an insurance job, surely just taking a punch or two to the face has got to be a better option than trying to convince the world that you were robbed by Derren Brown's chavvy, less-successful younger brother? :)
Unless it's a very cunning double-bluff? Now I'm confused. Which bag do I empty my wallet into again?

I don't mean an insurance job, but a YouTube stunt or something.
And if the guy had those skills shouldn't he be out picking up burds.
Found this whole subject quite intriguing and did a bit of googling. It was also covered on the BBC London news this evening, with an interview of the victim, who seemed pretty genuine. He said the guy kept tapping his (the victim's) body while speaking quickly and telling a confusing story.
Seems it's a type of hypnotism referred to variously as "conversational hypnotism" or "covert hypnotism" and this isn't the first time it's been caught on camera:-
There is also this recent story of Derren Brown allegedly reducing a would-be mugger to tears using a similar tactic. Seems it is a genuine "thing".

Yeah, there are several vids of that other robbery on YouTube (all in foreign, I'm afraid) so I thought I'd best go for posting the one with the tits in it. :)

The whole thing maybe.he seemed to have the guy 'under' within about 10 seconds of walking in.
