  Far more implausible to me was a potion that would induce a type of false death that would fool a doctor. While the optical technology is at least partially believable based on current technology, this potion is not.

  But the whole thing is preposterous anyway. These kind of master plans where everyone reacts exactly as the perpetrator expects are complete artifice.

  But it's an artifice that is very cinematic, going back a long way. Heist movies, con movies, this is in the long line of such plots. It's fantasy. If I wanted complete reality, I would see a documentary such as An Inconvenient Truth.

    It was pretty serious, but clever and exciting. The first half always concerned making the plans, the second was their execution. Then one night... everything that might go wrong, did! It was hilarious, but the characters were shown coping in... characteristic ways.

    I still have it on Beta.
