Derren Brown

Anyone paying attention to this? He's going to be predicting the lottery results live on tv just before they are drawn.

Fucking love Derren Brown I've seen all his stuff.

Yanks should check him out. He makes people rob banks and makes people think there inside video games etc.

Also there are two sets of numbers he keeps posting which I will be playing on the lottery tomorrow.

Saw his stage show in June, was a really good night. Someone from my course got called up onstage and was fully hypnotised. Was so spun out afterwards haha.

What is he exactly? An illusionist like Criss Angel?

Sort of, but he just outright says it's not magic so he's not trying to fool anyone, but still leaves you like WTF.

Derren Brown is amazing Ben I suggest you download some of his stuff. He is an illusionist and never claims to be anything more. He uses psychology and slight of hand to do gain what he wants.

He is banned from every casino and race track in the UK because he cam make people pay him £1000's with just any ticket off the floor.

I suggest Trick or Treat, where the participant either picks a trick or treat without knowing their choice.

Some include a guy being put into a zombie game, making a woman a world champion poker player, making people rob security trucks with subliminal messaging, kidnapping a woman bounding her and dropped into a lake.

Oh and he made a girl kill a cat.

I will definitely check him out, I love this kind of stuff. I hate how only the American equivalents to these types of acts interest the TV-people over here. I had never heard of this guy before.

Not the best example of his stuff, but all the shit on youtube seems to be banned for copy right reasons.

Alot of his stuff can be found on tv link sites.

One of my favourites I've seen in a while is on trick or treat where he seemingly teaches a girl to be a world class classical piano player just by listening to classical music and never actually gets her to touch a piano, then makes her play a recital infront of loads of people and she aces it. And she's amazed. They show you at the end that she had been playing all her life but he had hypnotised her and made her believe she couldn't play at all, and she was shit scared about doing the whole thing.

Also, where he gets that guy when he's in the photo booth to pass out and then takes him out of that one and flies him to some Middle East country and puts him in another photobooth and when the guy wakes up and comes out he's all confused and fucked up.

Yeah man they were both sick.

Or when he made the guy turn day into night. Did you see that one Luke?

No Matt. I did not see that one. What was that one?

He brainwashed some guy to think he was a god. And he could change day to night at his whim. Its in the middle of the dessert and the guy is fucking freaked out when it happens. No trickery, its not a set. He shows you how he did it though. I wont spoil how.

His show is on here in Denmark once in a while, I've seen it a couple of times. My favourite segment is probably the one where he goes on the street, and asks people to give him their wallets. Like, "sure dude, here you go".

Man if I only knew how he does it, I would finally get laid

Go to Denmark instead, you get pussy from 16-year old bitches for owning a car. That, or you can get laid by being 6-7 years older than the piece of ass in question.

So you're tapping 11-12 year old ass?

No, it doesn't work until they are about 15. It may sound as if I'm joking, but these are pure denmarkian facts.

I usually hook up with girls that are older than me, because of my misleading chinbeard, and masculine physique.

Yeah, I remember he walked up to that guy, asked him for his wallet and phone, the guy was like sure. Gave it to him, then chased him down then he did it to him again.

I love that he also shows when it doesnt work. The old couple he tried it with just told him to fuck off.

ive had some drinks with him when I used to work at this theatre, it was weird cause you expect him to be all mysterious and dark, but he's just like a normal person :/

At his stage show he took polaroids of some people before they went in as part of one of his tricks, and he laid the photos all out on a table on stage with a camera pointed at them with the video projected on a big screen behind him and he was like "Eugh, it's good to see so many of the Fritzl's at one of my shows."

Everyone was like OOOOOOOOOH :O and that was the moment I fell in love.

That's just what he wanted you to think.

well he wasnt wearing a cape, thats enough for me

His book is fucking brilliant. But I dont know if he actually wrote it obviously.

Ok, no idea how he's done that. 100% right.

that was the fucking strangest thing! u could tell he was right before he showed it cos he shocked himslef as the numbers were being read out lol

fucking cant wait till next friday when he shows how its done! then we can allllll win lol

and everybody can win a percentage of their pound back lol

He's got a great team behind him, and there's usually some form of trickery involved in everything he does, So I wont necessarily believe him when he does tell us how he did it, unless he just admits he fooled everyone. WHich I think he probably will as if he could really predict the lottery he would be so fucking rich that he wouldnt bother making tv shows, he'd be too busy running his own island.

I think those balls were alot more than just hollow ping pong balls to say the least.

he said in an interview once he didnt want to use his gift/power or whatever to take advantage of systems like this, or like when he went to the horse race and pretended he had the winning ticket etc.

Actually, it isn't even a book, it's just a brick. He just fools everyone into thinking it's a book.

lol.

And yeah, of course it's a trick, there is no possible way he predicted the numbers before they were drawn. Just interested in knowing how he made it look like he did.
