derren brown

I feel I already know the answer to this: I just watched a very silly show called "The Manipulation Game" with Derren Brown. In it, he purports to program an unsuspeting dupe into confessing to a murder he didn't commit. The standout moement for me was when he used hypnotism to put the guy on...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2331653/Derren-Brown-banned-escorted-casino-attempting-play-Blackjack.html Seems casino owner have been sucked in to believing Derren's persona.:D Aren't casino's rigged up to spot card cheats and such? :rolleyes:

DB decides someone who has never been a medium is going to be one in this rigged unreal reality TV program, and the stooges all scream for effect www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCfYwVVPMcg

just been watching derren browns "the experiment" where he hypnotized a member of the public to assassinate steven fry the subject had no idea of what had happened. im guessing this is gonna be gold dust to woo mongers but aside from that i kinda feel its irresponsible to air this i'd love...

I'm writing from the UK. May I recommend Derren Brown's latest show, shown on British TV on Channel 5 at 9pm last Monday 25th April 2011 for 95 minutes. It was called, 'Miracles for sale' and was about faith healers. I am a big Derren Brown fan and this show was excellent. Look forward to...

Derren Brown has a UK Channel 4 programme on faith healing on the 25 April : http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2011/04/new-derren-brown-tv-special/ which looks as though it will be interesting. Brown trains an ordinary member of the public as a faith healer and sends him to Texas to help the...

I have just seen the Svengali tour and I am a little disappointed. Although DB is entertaining enough the tricks lacked a little something. Being in the circle did not help as stuff was going on underneath in the stalls. Anyone else going or anyone seen the show?

Psychic Joe Power has his appeal to OFCOM turned down. http://tinyurl.com/5vyeth7

I have just finished "Confessions of a Conjuror". It's sort of an autobiography and well worth a read. Has an idiot's guide to misdirection, the perfect way to poach an egg and lots in between. Anybody else have views on it?

Derren Brown wins at a casino here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqiiYYmJNKQ I'm not convinced I understand why he took a card when he had 16 against the dealer's 6, when there were a lot of cards left in the shoe Did he know what the next card was going to be? or was the whole thing...

Search is slow to point of pain so apologies for not adding this to existing Power threads. Hope it amuses :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-10884534

This may belong in "Current events". Mods decide. Pself-pstyled "psychic", Joe Power was heckled during a brief appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Gala. He blames Derren Brown. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-10884534 Now, I sympathise with any comic...

Anyone watching the program now? It's pretty entertaining - Joe Power looks like he's getting more and more wound up :)

Trailer looks good. http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2010/04/derren-brown-meets-people-claim-paranormal-powers-ch4/

Well no he doesn't. Its the Magic Cafe loons up in arms about his recent Science of Scams youtube broadcasts! http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=342168&forum=15&start=0

Well, after after accidentally missing the llast trick in The Events (....maybe accidentally?) Derren Brown has, as promised, started his next project "The Science of Scams" http://www.scienceofscams.com/ First up: Psi Wheels. No magic, just exposure. Looks pretty good.

Hi, I never heard of Derren Brown until I visited this section of the forum. I checked a video of his on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vz_YTNLn6w I've gotta say, sorry but I don't believe it's real. These people that he's conjuring are actors. It's not logical at all that they look...

Does anyone have a copy of the generic personality profile that Randi uses to debunk astrology by giving everyone in a group of people the same reading? Derren Brown also did the same thing on his TV show. There are several groups I think I could educate with this method. It seems to me like...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eigKsGTsfc&feature=related Really uplifting voice he has too! ;)

When he does his routines there is a certain flow that he sometimes interrupts with a swear word. I feel that this is done to cause shift in the audiences thoughts. In Tricks of the Mind the first paragraph in the Memory chapter is a case in point. He starts off with childish and flowery...

If anybody has any upcoming study I can not recommend highly enough Derren Browns Tricks of the Mind. It has a chapter on memory that illustrates several 'tricks' on remembering. For example learning this list. Time, radiation, onset, character, aggravating factors, relieving factors, severity...

I'm doing my public duty as a juror for 2 weeks. It's an interesting experience but one I feel could be streamlined if there was a better way of identifying when someone is lying when in the witness box. The evidence given to the jusry is mainly anecdotal. The jury is instructed to acquit the...

PM me if you think you know how the trick works. I have an idea but I am sure there is a simpler way.

I've been watching some Derren Brown videos and they're very entertaining. Here are a couple that I found interesting. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8715765275058427368&q=derren+brown&total=1297&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2...

Just finished watching a couple of episodes of his new series. Trick or treat and it was really cool. BTw i managed to stumble upon a site where I could download the first episode. http://www.armasonry.com/ftp2/ Anybody know where I can get the rest of the episodes? It's really hard to find...

I didn't check if Darren Brown is already covered on this forum and I deliberately hope he was. But why is Randi posting news about him?? I've seen some episodes of his shows and alot of them were totally fake. Hypnotizing people with a tv screen where he plays a zombie game?? Please.... On...

Saw Derren Brown live last night - a very good show. The first part (I think) was mainly magic - not that I could explain how he did many of his tricks, but I have seen magicians perform such stuff, so there must be an answer there.... The second half was intriguing. At the end of the first...

Channel 4 tonight, 22:00 - 22:30 'Derren Brown: Trick or Treat' Radio Times says, Psychological illusionist Derren Brown involves members of the public and celebrity guests in a fiendish version of the Halloween game. This week, having pulled a trick card, an unsuspecting man is put to sleep in...
