I would like to see exactly what he gave each person.

I would also have liked it if he'd used people much older as they have more "life" to look at, or at least mix up the types in the groups more. They look identical!

This simply demonstrates how similar all humans are to each other. The only way for it to work that well is if each person is enough alike that that ONE READING could be at least 50% accurate for each of them.

Though we all like to feel we're unique and special and different, really we're all much more alike that we realize and it's rather unimportant to separate yourself as a unique individual simply because it is futile.

Can you give us an example of an experiment that *could* debunk the claims of astrology?

I personally of the feeling and opinion that Astrology is the most fundamental form of spirituality. So therefore, I don't think its possible to debunk. Every religion to my knowledge, understanding, and opinion, is a derivative of astrology. Please don't take offense to this if you don't agree. Its not my intention, merely my opinion.

Know how you can be absolutely *certain* somebody doesn't know what you're doing with various bits of paper?

Get them to turn around and look the other way.

Foolproof.

The camera focuses a lot on that pretty Indian girl with the black top in the UK group. Or maybe its just me.

they're trying to demonstrate that the effects you see given are easily replicated using entirely unremarkable techniques.
nobody can prove that astrology doesn't have any merit, all derren brown does is open people's eyes to the fact that the simplest explanation can often be the correct one.
