Re: Derren Brown
Derren Brown is my hero. I totally love his programs. Do bear in mind though that he started off as a straight out magician - mainly cards - and some of his tricks have more misdirection / sleight of hand in them than is first apparent.
Have you seen his latest series "Trick or Treat"? The idea was that people applied to be on the show and either something really good would happen to them or somthing really nasty. Some of it is seriously [censored] up. There was one where he let this guy go into a photo booth, hypnotised him to make him fall asleep, took him (still asleep) and the booth to Morocco (!) and then let him wake up still in the booth. He was left to work out where he was with a plane ticket back home stuck in his back pocket.
Another time he managed to get this old lady who'd never played poker before to win a televised high stakes SnG, although the explanation for how this happened was rather dubious.
