anyone watching derren brown?

Feck! H is on the xbox. ☹️ Ive missed something good have'nt I.

It's very clever. I want to know how he's doing this- obviously I know it's a trick but how does he get their star signs right every time?

Hmmm it's really interesting, but I can't help but try and figure out what is causing the stuff to happen!! ?

But yeah, I'm gobsmacked..

Yeah.. but also on hitched and msn so not 100% concentration so i'm rather confused!! Magic!!! x

Fcuking hell!! ??????

Damn, I forgot it was on. I was watching Family Guy. just turned it over to ch4+, although I've still missed some of it.

Amazing man. I think he's gay, but can you imagine been married to him. Be quite scary what he could get you to do.

Saw his live last year and it was utterly amazing the whole way through!! How he does I have no idea.....he is a genius!

Just watched it on 4+1, toally gobsmacking.

I love this kind of stuff, would love to see him live.

One of the things i like about him is that he explains that so called "pyschics" use the same tricks, and that they are tricks, there s nothing spiritual about it at all, and it can be learnt. the table thing was baffling, and the oracle trick. the guys face when he told him he was thinking about having his balls shaved was a picture, ditto the woman he told that she d dreamt she was married to alan titchmarsh ?

I only saw the beginning, it was on too late for me ? I thought the £10 note trick with the serial number was pretty amazing and I too am always trying to work out how he's doing it, I thought it was suggestion in some cases like the guy picking £500 or £5000 although I was convinced he was going to say £500 the last time he was asked.

Can someone tell me though, did he ever go back to the girl that was in the line up at the start but he sent her back to her seat and said he couldn't do it and 'don't hate me'?

I didn't watch this but it was filmed as part of the tour we went to see and it was truly amazing live! H was called up for the spinny table thing and he's a real skeptic and was amazed. I was kind of pleased he went up as you start to think part way through that he must be using actors, even though it's all very random how people are chosen.

I think he's one of the most amazing people on the planet!

Also a huge fan. I missed last night but will def watch when it's repeated.

You can download it from mininova sophs.

Yeah he did. At the end he rolled out a long sheet of paper on which he'd written predictions about how the show would turn out, and he'd written a random word, can't remember what. The girl in the audience held up her piece of paper which had the same word on it. DB made a big act about how he couldn't remember who she was until she reminded him she'd been on stage.

He is amazing- I love the way he goes on about not having a pyschic bone in his body but his tricks are much more believable than the acts of phoney pyschics.

I was working last night so taped it, really looking forward to watching it now.

We're off to see him in April.

Derren is amazing !

I loved the show last night and have always watyched his series when they come on TV.

astonishing. I think it's more than a skill that is learned, ...he must be extremely intuitive and can read people like we would read a book....even with a blindfold on.

We must be projecting all this information all the time....amazing !

freaks me out !

jools

I also loved the bit with the gorilla - not saying what it is for those who havent seen it yet. classic misdirection, but brilliant nonetheless.

We saw the same show live (different venue) but some people's answers were the same e.g. australia in the roll of white paper. We missed the whole thing last night so not sure what else other than the girl he sent back to the seat who had bracelet, he sent the girl back at ours and she had put something like red shoes which he had on his roll of paper. I think he must hypnotise some people on the way in and just has an amazing memory himself as to who he got to think what etc.

Is that like ipkayer? Do you have a link? I started to watch but had to turn it off

A link? ever heard of google? ?

no, its not like iplayer. you need some software called transmission. download it and install it on your mac, then go to mininova, find the show from the search box, then look for one which has a lot of seeds and leechers, then hit the green down arrow on the left of the text. that downloads the torrent. take that icon, and drag and drop it on to your transmission window, and after a few m inutes it ll start to download. it ll take a while.

When we saw the show the bit last night where the guy had the Mr Zoggs sex wax surf stuff in his pocket, Derren did with a guy's old credit card he still had in his wallet and if memory serves me correctly I think he read off some of the numbers! When he was doing the oracle bit he got the name of a womans childhood dogs!?? I mean how the heck does he do it? On another show (the first tour he did) I got 'picked' to go on stage and it was a pretty surreal experience so I can vouch I wasn't a stooge!

The only logical thing I can think (assuming the people aren't stooges) is that

a) his revelations are guesses and the people he is talking to don't really think that/are that star sign/etc but the power of his suggestion makes them think Derren is right? Does that make sense?

b) he has people listening/microphones so that he hear people discussing things in the interval which he then brings up later on. I would be interested to hear if any of the people he did the oracle thing with had discussed or mentioned to anyone what Derren later predicted.

c) he is physic and in denial!

thanks. Apparently we have it, on the minimac. I'll leave it until he gets home tonight to sort it out.

I missed it as well, it is repeated tomorrow night on e4 at 9:30pm

Great. Thanks

I saw this show live last year, although not the one that was recorded.

He did the Oracle thing with me and got my name, star sign, day of birth, cat's name and the fact that I'm applying for drama school spot on.

I can guess how he did it. Dunno if the TV show shows this, but at the interval 100 people were given cards to write on. We had to write a fact about ourselves and a question. Then we wrote our name and date of birth. Then you had to seal it in an envelope, write your initials and row number on and put it in a bowl on stage. I wrote my cat's name as the fact and my question was - should I go to drama school next year?

When he was doing the Oracle trick he was throwing the cards all over the stage. I think the ones that fell backstage were opened and read through a microphone to him. Also, when he put the blindfold on he was very specific about how it went on. I think that was because he had a hidden earpiece.

Thanks Katchoo, it's been bugging me how he did that. What you said makes total sense- he threw a load on the stage on last night's show too.

Was it called An evening of wonder?

Yeah I think it was

I'm going to see him live in April - can't wait!
