Derren Brown: Trick of the Mind.

Fri May 06, 2005 9:16 pm

Does anyone watch this show? I watched it just now and it scared the crap outta me! *shudder* That bloke who thought he was in an arcade game and starting shooting people dressed as zombies. Derren was so calm about it all it was so freaky.

And when he was playing that counting game with Jo Whiley. How could he have guessed it was 296 in that little paragraph?! It's such a precise number. Gosh, sorry I'm rambling. I know it's all suggestion and mind trickery but I really wonder how he does it and how he learnt to do it in the first place!

How could he have guessed?
He didn't guess. Heheh. I believe he's just developed his counting skills a lot. :wink:

He's a hero. I liked the one where he ask's for people's stuff and they just give it to him. Then again the Red BMX trick was probably the best.

I haven't seen his new series but in the old series. I loved it when he went to the dog track and gave the cashier a losing ticket and being told it was a losing ticket, said "This IS the winning ticket" and she gives him the money.

imagine the things you could do....... :evil:

Oh yeah. That's always good.

When he does live shows, he plants stuff on billboards and the side of trees and stuff, on the routes to the location. People in the audience then automatically think of these things. It's pretty durn clever.

Saw a bit of the repeat. It was crap.

No it wasn't. At least he scared the crap out off some really gullible students. The russian roulette was crap, he didn't even use a live round

It still would've blown half his head off. Didn't you watch the begining?

The russian roulette thing was my fave , that is so scary that he can do all those mind tricks BUT i think it is all a logical explination to probably everything you see

He did a test on a bottle of water with a live round. It asploded. He did a test with the exact same type of bottle of water with a blanc and it asploded too. Not as much though...
