Anyone watching it?

I almost sh!t myself when the armed robbers came in to the station !!!

Looks as tho its gonna be excellent-try to catch it -its a build up to a live situation

Yes it's all a set up. I went off him after he was doing his experiment where you were supposed to be stuck to your chair. Only his stooges were stuck. I know of nobody who this worked on.

Then he claimed to be able to predict a roulette winning number, placed £5000 on it and got it wrong. Jeez, I could do that.

I watched it last night - could'nt quite get my head around, getting the chap out of bed and into the garden, surely you would know if you were awake or sleep. I thought when he tied him to the railway line was silly. Hope there is no 'copycat' incidents by some nutters.

If anyone remembers the Darren Brown show when he placed upturned paper cups in a room and placed a knife under one of them and the lad had to stand on each cup, trying to calculate which cup the knife wasn't under - well I know that was'nt a set up as it was my friend's son Matt who took part.

oh i dont think its a con at all. ive seen him 3 times live before and even got picked to go up on stage with him! i can honestly say i have no idea how he does the things he does... part from when he tells you how he did it! ha!
but yes, derren brown i think its a very very clever man.

Another example of such a "magician" is Chris Angel. The whole audience are usually in on his tricks, so it's only the TV audience that are fooled.
