Does anyone here except me and Pengy like Derren Brown?

I think he's amazing.

I watched all these "Science of attraction" yesterday. Very interesting.

He is very, very impressive. My brother-in-law went to his live show, said it was pretty amazing.

Yesssssss, I love Derren!

My favourite was the haunted house one he did, although I would have loved to have seen the end when he brought the girl that had supposedly committed suicide in the house to meet the shocked crew.

OMG, I watched a couple of Derren Brown videos and then I found videos about hypnosis and one showing shock induction hypnosis made me feel strange. Do you think it's dangerous?

Don't watch this video:

Yes, it was the first one.

The second one is the old Pepper's Ghost trick you used to get at the theatre. The look on that girl's face who really though she'd seen a ghost! You'd have thought she'd have been pleased, seeing how she volunteered to go into a haunted house. It's a bit like going to a bird sanctuary and running out screaming when a swan swims towards you

She didn't expect to see a ghost. They are rarer than birds you know. I liked the explanation for the trick, and I think they chose a blonde girl and made her wear white because dark colours wouldn't reflect so well on the glass wall. :mw_yes:
