Derren Brown - Trick Or Treat
trick_or_treat.jpg Trick or Treat is a British television show hosted by Derren Brown. The focus of the show is on one person selected from a pool of volunteers who responded to adverts in the national press to take part in the show. The experience the volunteer receives is decided by which card they choose. If they choose the card that says 'Trick' they receive a bad experience and if they choose the card that says 'Treat' they receive a good experience.

This distinction is not always obvious, however: in Series 2, a participant's dark experience of being persuaded to  kill a kitten was a 'treat' because of the positive attitude to life Derren believed she would consequently develop; similarly, a volunteer who chose a 'trick' was kidnapped, but had been taught escapology techniques which enabled her to easily escape.
