Invisible Man is an entertainment show where experts strive to identify each episode’s celebrity guest whom they cannot see or communicate with. Unlike the experts, the viewers know the celebrity’s name from the start of each episode. The experts try to identify the celebrity’s features, character, occupation and even his name. Since the experts cannot see or communicate with the celebrity, they must use their unique skills and general knowledge to identify him or her. They examine materials received from the celebrity: hair, nail pieces, photos of palm lines, scent examples, teeth marks, fingerprints, blood and saliva samples, drawings, completed psychological tests, and dreams. For the first time scientists along with nonscientists try to prove they can tell almost everything about a secret celebrity.
