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.
Trick or Treat Season 2 - Episode 6: Superstition
All previous contestants from the series returned, and were placed in a
room with a counter and several objects, saying that they had to score
100 points within half an hour. However, the points were awarded
randomly and not by any actions performed in the room. If they had
realised that, they might have noticed there was a further element, and
found the sign above them on the ceiling telling them that the doors
were unlocked and £150,000 waiting for them if they went to get it.
They didn't.
In another part of the episode, a superstitious woman was tested on
her beliefs by being made to walk on pavement cracks and under ladders,
smash a mirror, etc. (causing her to comment on whether she would be
killed on the way home), to see if it affected her luck in a following
experiment, which it didn't. A gag notice came up at the end of the
show saying that the episode was dedicated to her memory, having been
killed on the way home.

Trick or Treat Season 2 - Episode 4: Escape
The subject is taught ancient techniques on how to get free from
complicated, risky situations. Subsequently, the subject - with hands
and feet tied - is inserted into a sack and thrown into a lake. The
subject gets free. During the course of the show, Derren claims that
the subject will be completely alone under the water, bar a stationary
camera. However, two divers emerge from the lake (and give each other a
thumbs-up sign) in the final seconds of the program (as the credits are
running.) Whether this is supposed to indicate that they actually
released the subject, or merely that there was added security is left
unresolved.

Trick or Treat Season 2 - Episode 3: Time
The subject, guest star David Tennant,
appears to have the ability to time travel. He is taken back to the
early 1930s and gives out facts, which appear in a newspaper from that
date. He then predicts what a member of the public will draw on a card,
twenty minutes beforehand. Finally, he performs automatic writing, predicting two news items which would appear three days later in The Guardian
newspaper. It was mentioned in the episode that Tennant had applied to
the programme in the same way any ordinary member of the public would.

Trick or Treat Season 2 - Episode 2: Kitten
The subject is shown a kitten in a metal cage and told that it will be
electrocuted if she presses a button. The subject would win £500 if she
stays in the room for five minutes without killing the kitten. Derren's
negative suggestion
forces her to press the button at the last second. However, she finds
the cat is still alive and thus wins the £500. The treat was that the
subject would think back to the moment if she was ever being negative
in future, and would then become a more positive person.
