Derren Brown's Mind Control 3

climaxer

Anyone watch it last night on Channel 4. I think he's excellent and was glued to the tv. Best illusion/trick was when he got the teller to pay out on the losing ticket at the dogs. Also when he made the medical student's hand go totally numb and put a needle through his skin without making it bleed. Brilliant show.... Anyone ever see him live?

Yeah I saw it on E4 last night. Very entertaining show. Not sure how much of it is real though?

He's pretty top alright, didnt see him last night though. Remember when he did that live Russian Roulette thing live on CH4, was that real or not? Crazy stuff anyway, had me on the edge of my seat!

Yeah he is great to watch.

In the russian roulette thing though, he used a blank (or something) bullet instead of a proper one. Although it dosen't fire a bullet, it still damages things that are at the end of the barrel ie. his head. He showed what it would do to a bottle at this range and it fairly destroyed it. So i guess you could say it was real but there was some deception involved.

Yep, that's off the first series iirc.

It's all great entertainment, but what annoys me is the way he misrepresents himself as some sort of mind control expert, when in fact he's just using the usual tricks, and apparently a lot of hypnotism to achieve the effects. It's very misleading. Great performer though.
