There is a new British series called Space Cadets where they attempt to convince people they have launched them into orbit. Personally, I don't think they could fool me with tricks like that; I know too much about what to expect from an actual launch. But I suppose there are people you could hoodwink that way, they should be easy enough to spot - just stand next to the lottery ticket counter and pick out the ones spending ten dollars or more on the same drawing...
