I've just been to see his stage show and the man is a fucking Jedi Master, I kid you not.

I got him to autograph my program like the little star-struck girl I was =]

Derren Brown scares the shit out of me.

He's much better than that phoney, David Blaine.


Shazam.

I saw it in May. Did he do that head clucking thing throughout the whole show? Either he was coming off the smack or he was channeling a chicken that night.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 8th June 2005:
 
Was scared to shit I'd be picked from the audience though.
Posted by Grim..., around 8th June 2005:
 
He nods his head to emphesise (sic?) words, apparently.

I wonder if it was the same show... Did he walk on glass and do the newspaper trick at the end?
Posted by Saltation_DUPE1, around 9th June 2005:
 
hey welcome back, sul
Posted by eatmypiano_DUPE1, around 9th June 2005:
 
I used to go to school with him. He was a year below me.
Posted by Brock, around 9th June 2005:
 
Did he have a cunty beard then, too?
Posted by Grim..., 9th June 2005:
 
Really? That makes you pretty old =]

Did he ever try to do his stuff on you at school?

Did you call him 'Darren' on purpose?
Posted by Rosie_DUPE1, around 9th June 2005:
 
I really like that Derren guy. He is well fit. I can imagine him tricking me into doing naughty things for him.
Posted by Grim..., around 9th June 2005:
 
When he bowed at the end, I noticed he was pretty bald - you'd never know from watching the TV show.

From his latest DVD:

"People often ask me if I ever use my powers to get women into bed, and the answer is 'Of course I do'."
Posted by Rosie_DUPE1, around 9th June 2005:
 
Phoar!! I'd be up for it!

I don't care if he's baldy. He could magic me into thinking he had a full head off hair or something.

He is really clever. I wasn't too keen on that haunted house trick he did with the students, but i saw a thing he did with a boy in a pub who was playing on an arcade game. Derren tricked him into thinking he was actually playing the game. It was cool.
Posted by Grim..., 9th June 2005:
 
Er - wasn't he actually playing the game anyway?
Posted by Rosie_DUPE1, 9th June 2005:
 
Nah! I didn't explain that too well did i?!

He was playing the arcade game, like you do, and then derren brown magicked him to sleep and carted him off to a room that was set up like the arcade game with real zombie actors and fake blood.
Posted by Grim..., 9th June 2005:
 
Sweet!
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, 9th June 2005:
 
It was ace.
Although morally questionable :)
Posted by Rosie_DUPE1, 9th June 2005:
 
Yeah. It freaked me out that his friends let it happen to him.
Posted by Ana_DUPE1, around 12th June 2005:
 
Yeah, I agree with Rosie, that one really freaked me out... especially the bit where he got really upset about it, and looked really really scared.

It was weird how he didn't remember any of it afterwards though...

(Note to self: run like hell if you meet Derren in a pub)
Posted by lauraxox, around 13th June 2005:
 
I think Derren Brown is great. The show that was on TV recently was good to watch but he made some of his audience forget what had happened at the end of his show. I would be raging paying money to go and see him perform and being made to for get what happened. Nice way to treat your guest huh!
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around 13th June 2005:
 
It was an invited audience made up of the famous and the not so famous. They didn't pay to see it at all. :)
Posted by lauraxox, around 14th June 2005:
 
yes well i would still be pissed if i was made to forget it.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around 14th June 2005:
 
Yeah and it kind of ruined the end of it, where they were supposed to be amazed as to where they had been taken to for the show, when it was revealed. If they didnt remember the fact that the taxi driver had chosen that location, seemingly at random, then it wouldnt seem that impressive when they stepped outside.
Posted by lauraxox, around 14th June 2005:
 
exactly i think it was a sellection of shall we say simple people.

Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 17th June 2005:
 
Yeah that was the same show, Matt. The glass thing was totally stooged though. Still good entertainment.

Sorry only popping in and out at the moment. So not quite a triumphant comeback yet. Anyhoo, Green Day tomorrow, woohoo.
Posted by Mon_Ange, around 17th June 2005:
 
Hey, I've just joined. I'm a huge fan of Derren!! I went to see him perform live in May, didn't get to meet him in person though :-(
None of my friends find him attractive but they never watch him on tv. He just has this certain charisma.....i wanna give him a hug!!
Posted by Brock, around 17th June 2005:
 
Derren Brown is the new Lee Dainton.

FACT.

Posted by peyote, around 30th July 2005:
 
After seeing Derren hypnotize that lad in the pub and put him in zombie infested game i had the most incredible respect for him. He scared the monkeys out of that lad, what wonderful, yet cruel entertainement.
Hee hee hee. So evil. Since then i adore him. Derren Brown can have me any time he doesn't need to trick. ;-)
Posted by peyote, around 30th July 2005:
 
Derren Brown come on down if you think you got the balls...
I'd like to see you wet and naked (prefferably out doors)!

That's not very clear, is it?
Posted by derren brown, around 5th August 2005:
 
Ah, I see your line of thought. But how do you know I'm not just making you imagine all this? Perhaps the internet doesn't exist at all, you just think it does.
