Wasn't that good anyway. Derren is amazing in general (and a little scary, you have to wonder how many people have similar abilities but use them for underhanded purposes rather than entertainment), but it was obvious from the start that they eouldn't possibly be showing something where he might really An Hero.

Despite all the hype, a lot of what Derren Brown does is still trickery. He uses a very few quick mind tricks, but it's still 99% smoke and mirrors.

I sincerely doubt that any of Derren Brown's stunts could be used for "underhand purposes", he's skillful at misleading, knows a few NLP tricks and is good with body language, that is all.

I saw one show where he went to America and paid for a $4,500 ring with plain pieces of paper. I'd like to know how he did that.

I didn't see this one, but all I can guess is confidence and sleight of hand.

It's rude to count through a lot of notes, in more upmarket stores you expect to be trusted, and if you show the right attitude you're likely to be. A shop that sells expensive rings expects people to rush in with guns if they're gonna steal anything.

And it's fairly easy to switch a wad of notes with a wad of paper, such that you could count out the notes in front of people, and simply make a switch when you hand them over.

A little NLP to keep people in a slightly confused state where they're less likely to notice something's up and you're laughing.

Grats! Just a few questions if you don't mind:

  • Is this your final form?
  • Was this an evolution or a revolution?
  • Did you acquire new powers?
  • Can I catch you with a ball(s)?

Thanks, I just need to update my Stalkerdex.

(Anyone else think Mr. Brown looks like Bradley Whitford + Grigori Rasputin in that picture?)

  • This is your final form
  • A revolution, a short lived uprising
