[Darkstar]

[doddy]

Derren Brown is the man, fuck that box geezer.

[Egrodyne]

Derren Brown is the man, fuck that box geezer.

go wipe your own arse moneky man

[Darkstar]

Derren Brown is much better than David fucking Blaine. What a twat.

[highllama!]

I missed most of it - I only saw the part where the film student (I think?) thought that Derren was invisible and started to make that creepy doll dance or whatever.

I don't get that telephone thing though...you know, when people pick it up and just collapse? Good to see that the Great British public are there to help them though :rolleyes:

Isn't David Blaine supposed to be jumping out of a helicopter into a river or something soon? I'm sure it could be easily sabotaged :p

[mental-masturbation]

Both Derren Brown and David Blaine are wankers, but especially Brown.

[YellowSphere]

blaine is an excellent street magician, its just people remember his bollocksy box stunt

the same goes for brown, its just people rember his bollocksy suicide stunt

[Magdalena]

When Derren hypnotised that bloke yesterday to make him believe he was invisible, that was pretty damn good.

[Lucy]

i totally forgot about that russian roullette thing! hehe, that was funny

[daniela]

[TisWas]

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Someone could of had a fit, but everyone in their bubble didn't give a fuck. Well done society.

[doddy]

go wipe your own arse moneky man

Err, as apposed to not wiping it? Your a genius mate.

[because]

Anyone watch it?

[Bluedini]

I did, t'was fantastic as per usual. Derren Brown is just plain better than all of you can ever hope to be :cool:

[Bubble Wrap]

I watched it, it was brilliant. :) Gave me plenty to think about.

[because]

Imagine if he used his 'skills' to become a gambler........... :LOL:

[Miss Blee]

Anyone watch it?
I did, I love Derren but found this one a little disappointing. Perhaps it was the several million ad breaks....

Your sig is huge.... Can you shrink it or take out some of the pics please?

[SoulOfBrokenGlass]

I thought it was amazing. That guy is just... wow.

[Bluedini]

Imagine if he used his 'skills' to become a gambler........... :LOL:

I'm an idiot, was that a joke, because he did? I'm not with it tonite

[Bubble Wrap]

I've heard he's not allowed in casinos...is that true? Wouldn't surprise me if it was mind you.

[Bluedini]

I've heard he's not allowed in casinos...is that true? Wouldn't surprise me if it was mind you.

Yeah, he's banned from a lot of casinos as he used to go and sap them of a lot of money :cool: he's given it up now apparently although probably not from choice :LOL:

I thought that. It was no séance, but, it did have that great Derren Brown tongue in cheek "morons, the lot of you" humour which was great.

He also looked mighty fine in th pinstripe suit!

I liked the way he convinced everyone though. Are they the naive ones, or are we the naive ones for trusting that it wasn't all set up?

[Bubble Wrap]

Yeah, he's banned from a lot of casinos as he used to go and sap them of a lot of money :cool: he's given it up now apparently although probably not from choice :LOL:

Hehe, to be fair, if I owned a casino I don't reckon I'd want him in it! :LOL:

I have his dvd, but for some reason I'm still yet to watch it. I'll have to get around to that someday soon I reckon.

It was this one that really started me thinking...he says it's fake to us, so we all feel fine with it. Yeah he can do mind control and knows the power of suggestion and how to get information out of us without us realising but it's not like he's pyschic.

Then I started to think, what if he's double bluffing and actually it is all real, but he doesn't want all to know? So he tells us it's fake and we all believe him. Hmmm, I'm thinking too much I reckon!

Nope, it's exactly what I've thought about a few of his programmes. That's the genius of it all.

[because]

I mean, if he wanted to, he could earn LOADS more money compared to doing a TV how now..........

It's weird really, i guess he wants to show off the skills he's been practicing for years.......

After all, he did use to be a magician,

[Magdalena]

It was great. He's amazing. And his eyes <3

[Darkstar]

He is a bit of a legend.

Enjoy it Rhian? :p:p

[Pajoon]

I was a bit underwhelmed by it; he didn't do anything he hasn't done before, just in a different guise. He's a cracking cardician but he's just dropped all that in the past 3 years or so, now he's just seems out to try and irritate people. Don't get me wrong, I still love him though. Bastard pinched my cards though. And he's short.

[Miss Blee]

Pinched your cards?

He teaches you a supposedly amazing card trick on his website.

[Pajoon]

Pinched your cards?

Yeah, I saw him before one of the shows on his tour and asked him about a couple of things in his book. He showed me, then left without giving me back my cards... :indiff:

He teaches you a supposedly amazing card trick on his website.

Any idea where that is? I just had a quick look but couldn't see it.

[MONKEH]

i like how he points out how stupid people are.

[Nancuk]

I love the way there are so many magicians out there who are trying to prove that ghosts exist and ohhh look I can move a chair with my eyes and Darren Brown is the only one to use his talent to show that basically the whole thing is a load of bollocks.
Anything to make Uri Geller look like an idiot is aye ok by me.

[Coffeebug]

Anything to make Uri Geller look like an idiot is aye ok by me.

Hahaha although Uri Geller really doesn't need people making him look like an idiot - hes more than capable of that himself LOL

I thought it was a brilliant show. Derren Brown is the King of freaky mind tricks.

[Max]

Who is watching this at the moment? He is seriously amazing...

[tjej]

Who is watching this at the moment? He is seriously amazing...
Seconded.

That, and it's awesome to watch to imagine him in the buff. Corr.

[Max]

Seconded.

That, and it's awesome to watch to imagine him in the buff. Corr.

You watching it now?

[christoph]

what channel?

[Max]

Channel 4 - apparently it's getting scary... :stunned:

[christoph]

ah, it just said (i have S4C down here in shiteland) Derren Brown on in an hour, and then it said something about zombies? :confused:

[Max]

You are missing out...

[Beast Love]

he's so mean. That guy is gonna think he's gonna be eaten by zombies!

[Beast Love]

that experience could seriosuly mess someone up...


what with the zombies...

[Max]

that experience could seriosuly mess someone up...


what with the zombies...

Seriously freaky... :stunned:

[Beast Love]

Seriously freaky... :stunned:

he's ok now...

i bet he's gonna go kill someone now. :stunned:

[tjej]

That twas awesome.

HOWEVER so staged. If I were one of his friends I would've gone MAD.

[Hobo]

Staged or not, that was AWESOME!!!! :eek:
The poor bloke was nearly crying when he was in the real bit!
I think that'd scare the living shite out of ANYONE....

True...it was a very very Resident Evil like situation, especially when those zombies just refuse to die.

[christoph]

holy shit, i just finished watching it :eek:

it gave me goosebumps.

[AC]

Derren Brown is seriously good at what he does. Have a friend who's an amateur magician, and he has a great deal of respect for the guy. He said Derren Brown has a book which explains some of the simpler techniques; I've had a look round but never managed to find it.

[tjej]

Wasn't as good as last week, still good though.

He's released 2 books...Pure effect and..the other one..

He's released a Video as well, availible through his site

[Zane]

The card tricks he does are fairly simple, which give me hope, cus the rest blows me away.

Anyway trick one: The three of clubs was on the top of the pile, but when he was counting through he put that one slightly to the side of the other cards. He put the others on top, but the 3 was sticking out.
Misdirection: as the guy looked at the paper Derren pulled out the 3 of clubs instead of the top card the man had effectively chosen. Derren moved it forward, dude turns it over and hey presto. Magic

Also the second card would have been the ace of spades, whatever card the man chose Derren would move into his hand because he's "eager to see if it's the right card" and swap it with the ace prom under his sleeve from the trick before. The whole, turn over a few more cards to make sure, is another great way of misdirecting people, giving them a different thing to think about.

Anyone who knows how he got "pop" gets 15 and a half gold stars...

Neuro linguistic Programming....LIke on the Messiah one, Download it....

He says things like " Let it SAIL into your mind and don't go OVERBOARD"..

Guess what, the other guy choses a boat.

[Zane]

But still, to get a page with that word in is rare don't you think?
i mean i saw that derren bent the book back and gave it to the guy to flick through. So he picked a double page for him, but the rest seemed chance.

Is it to do with the same logic that he got simon peg? the i'm going to bike you a gift, like a BM or an X box?

[Magdalena]

Derren is fucktastic in every way.

[Grapevine]

Derren is fucktastic in every way.

I love him

[Zane]

Derren is fucktastic in every way.
I agree, he just stinks of cool

[Magdalena]

That twas awesome.

I don't think it was..
Because no one could act how scared he was.
However, I think they must've been told something before hand & because else Derren could get in serious shit if that guy got messed up by his little zombie trick.

[Magdalena]

I love him
I want to stroke his goatee.

[Grapevine]

I want to stroke his goatee.

Indeed

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

Date: Sunday 29th May
Programme: Derren Brown: The Gathering
Channel/Time: It's on Channel 4 at 10pm
Description 1: There's no one quite like Derren Brown. He can convince complete strangers to hand over their car keys and even get hold of their PIN numbers!
In this one-off special, Derren Brown: The Gathering, the mind manipulator is shown doing what he does best - baffling everyone with his special brand of magic.
Derren creates a world of confusion in a recorded live show. His audience includes psychics, celebs and illusionists.
"This is a taste of what I do on tour," says Derren. "Hopefully it'll be memorable for all concerned."
Description 2: The magician faces his greatest challenge yet as he performs mental trickery in front of a sceptical audience, including conjurors, psychologists and celebrities. The location of the one-hour show is a sercret and, as the film will be recorded live, Derren will have little control over how his stunts pan out...

So that's tonight then. Can't wait.

[Bai-Lee]

now thats some proper tv...can i just take you wallet oh here you go..i want one

[buji]

the gathering was awesome... is he touring??! I have to go see that..

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

Yeah it's amazing. The guy's a genius, I would love to see him live. Well he's on tour at the moment and it ends on 18th June. He's got a couple of London dates left that I've heard. You can try and book tickets here. http://www.derrenbrown.co.uk/tour

Does anyone have any of his DVDs?

[siblers]

Did anyone see Messiah by him where he went to the States and tried to convince various American nutters that he could read from the grave and that he could read minds etc...It was pretty good, it was a way more different than his normal stuff.

[Erroneous Fiend]

Did anyone notice some subliminal messaging in the show? Im pretty sure that I wasn't seeing things. I noticed one word flash up in the right hand corner which seemed to say 'force', and one top centre when he asked ppl to look at the light.

[Murray]

It said forget, and at the end, people forgot what happened

[Elsie]

I saw the Something Wicked This way comes at the Cambridge theatre on thursday night and my god that man is amazing!

[Grapevine]

A couple of my friends saw him live in his show in Edinburgh...said he was amazing, he walked on glass and such

[Elsie]

not only did he walk on glass but he felt no pain and didn't bleeed!
this was because he put a plastic bag over his head until his pulse stopped!! meaning obviously no oxygen flowing to his brain and he felt no pain...he lay down on the glass and a random audience member stood on him and his head!!

[Rall]

But just hypnotised you into thinking that!

He's actually a 2FT tall transvestite. But he makes you think he's not.

[Grapevine]

not only did he walk on glass but he felt no pain and didn't bleeed!

Aah yeah they said that...didn't say much about the rest though! Apart from that it was brill

[Elsie]

the whole thing he built upto at the end was great! coudn't explain it though, would take too long but it was wonderful! he explained it all by showing up clips that they had filmed from the wings at the end too..amazing

[Becky boo]

I watched that one with the zombies. Very good, although would be my worst nightmare. After seeing night of the living dead *shudders*

[Elsie]

ooh yeha that was creeepy

[because]

Who wants to buy an early Derren Brown namecard for when he was a private magician?

Derren Brown: The Gathering is repeated on Channel 4 on 2nd December at 9pm.

[Ril]

Exactly the same show? If so then I don't think I'll bother. I'm tempted by Dudley Town Hall though.

[because]

Oh brilliant, cheers for that :)

I went to one of Luke Jermay's lectures, one of Derren's production advisors who basically invents all the effects and tricks derren performs. AMAZING.

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

He's going to the places that he couldn't make it too for the tour this year, next year so that's pretty thoughtful of him. :)

Gah. When I was living in Blackpool, he only did Manchester dates.

Now I live in Manchester he's doing a Blackpool one. Knobhead.

[Shinybiscuit]

I don't know why.
I don't know if I should be scared.

But that was AMAZING

It's stupid how easily people can be made to do something so bad.

LOLZ, it was ace. Derren, mmh.

The bit where they went shoplifting :LOL:

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I liked the second one best, he had a bit of style to him. "Sorry to interrupt the proceedings, but- this is a hold up." :LOL:

[pr1nces5]

i didnt watch that, but did anyone watch teenage tourettes camp last night? that was bizarre, especially that girl with asbergers (i dont know how to spell it as well), her and that other girl's fight was just funny:LOL: but i did feel sorry for them too.

No he doesn't use actors. it's really simple, if he does use actors, think how much he'd have to pay to silence them, it just wouldn't be worth it.

There are many methods (instant stooging, DR etc) but it's pretty much against his ethics as a magician, plus he's extremely well known in the buisness and in various circles who'd suspect something.

recently a magician/illusionist/wanker, Criss Angel was exposed. Not too great now aye?

Well I hope the both of yous enjoy him when you see him live.:)

I got my Trick Of The Mind 2 DVD today as I pre-ordered it off Play.com. I just watched the Special Features so far and Derren is bloody amusing in the Behind The Scenes. He acts like a 5 year old.:LOL:

Derren will be getting interviewed by Jo Whiley on Radio 1 this Wednesday.

How funny was that video montage at the end? :LOL:

Haha, yeah. That man is a genius, I wish I could do half the things he does. I study Psychology, and he stilled fooled me in every way.

[tjej]

Half of it though, like the nail up the nose thing.. how much of it do you think is actually suggestion or not. I mean... man puts nail near nose, instantly you flinch because no sane person would do that, so because you're so busy thinking "oh my god the man is hammering a nail up his nose!" perhaps you don't realise how much of it's actually gone up and your mind has filled the gaps in. Especially with the added OTT nose blowing at the end.

There is no questioning that the man is highly intelligent and an excellent showman though.

[Stecloud]

The nail part did have me wondering yes, as did the walking on glass, but astill very impressive - even if it is suggestion fooling people.

Derren Brown would undoubtedly be the scariest friend you could ever make, just think of how easily he could manipulate you.

Mmm, like, makes you wonder if that med student was coerced by his silky smooth talking into thinking he had no pulse.

I was well gutted I didn't get picked for the guess the animal game, cause all I could think about was a Giraffe. One day though, there'll be someone to crack the act. One day.

[Stecloud]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking Elephant either, but its possible that he only persuades you into thinking it, when he's chatting with you one-on-one. Who knows.

"Blah blah blah, pick Daily Mail, blah."

[Stecloud]

I'm really not sure about the dream thingy. From what my Sleep module of my degree taught me, extrenal conscious stimuli don't have any effect on the content of an individual's dreams - in fact, not even internal bodily states have an effect, for instance, men while in REM sleep, usually (well, almost always really) have an erection, and during most dreams men aren't erect :) - still derren is a bit special in the way he can introduce things into people's minds, so I dunno :p

[Ril]

Hmm I didn't think it was one of his best episodes. The dream bit was a bit funny though. :)

[Stecloud]

Quick! Derren's coming on!

[Ril]

CHEERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I'd forgotten again. :$

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

So what you all think of tonights episode? I thought it was pretty good, I really loved the one with all the victorian photographs. Also loved the dowsing one too.

[Stecloud]

Yeah, tonight's was a good episode. I think because there was nothing 'ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!11', it was made all the better. It was all suggestion tonight it seemed, which is something we can all see as plausible, yet still increidible.

[Ril]

[Max]

Watched the Heist again tonight. It's definitely one of his better specials - right up there with Messiah. I do like Russian Roulette and Seance but to me he makes valid points in both Messiah and the Heist that are relevant to society today.

Would like to see his live stuff but I've spent too much money on gigs this year. Foos, Reading and probably the old-fogie land that is Guilfest...

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

Robbie Williams gets two 14 inche needles put through him in tonights episode. Oh how I hate RW.

On another note:
I've got my spanish orals the day after the derren brown gig in Southampton...i'm debating with myself whether i should go.... Does anyone fancy kinda 'reserving the tickets' just incase i decide not to go? i've got 2 tickets, i paid £20.50 each for them not including the postage.

[greg]

i liked the robbie bit, his face when he realised what was going on.

priceless. haha

[Ril]

When's the repeat of Sunday's episode on E4?

[Tracee]

He really made me laugh after the 'unconscious gestures'-lead search for the bloke's keys, when he said he didn't then go and fall in the river "like a twat".

Also, when the plane flew over and distracted Williams from his nursery rhyme and felt pain/started bleeding, I felt a bit sorry for him. It was obviously planned. Aw.

[because]

When's the repeat of Sunday's episode on E4?
Thursday 10pm

WHAT THE HELL is up with the stone one?

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

I'm going to see him live this Sunday night, I can't wait.:D

[Muser_Hullabaloser]

*SPOILERS*




I got back from the performance awhile ago and it was amazing. I absolutely loved it and I would love to go again.

One of my favourite parts of the show was the one with the broken glass. I was cringing when he was lying on it and this guy stood on him.

For the buttons trick, one girl didn't feel comfortable with slapping him hard so another girl had to come on and slap him very hard. To Derren, it felt as though she punched him instead of slapping him.:LOL:

I got to meet him backstage and had my programme signed. My dad took a few photos that's posted below. I managed to tell him my name and say thank you for the autograph but didn't manage to say how great his show was.:$ I wanted to but I couldn't get it out, damn nerves.:rolleyes: Seeing him live was amazing and meeting him was a bonus. :D

I'm still hyper and so so happy about tonight. Highly enjoyable.

That doesn't sound like the sort of thing he would do. He's usually quite careful about the consequences of his 'stunts'.

Its called "Trick or Treat" this is the infomation I could find on it:

In this brand new series Derren Brown is at his most devilish, having persuaded members of the public to sign a Faustian pact with him and participate in a macabre game of Trick or Treat

Hmmm.. :erm:

[~screenager~]

Isn't it just a one-off show? Which sounds fucking amazing btw?
