Whilst reading my sunday paper, I noticed a small paragraph in the tv listings stating that a new series of 'derren brown: Mind Control' was starting shortly. Does anyone have any dates yet?

by **MagicIain** » Apr 4th, '05, 20:24

It's in the May edition of FHM's '10 Top TV shows to watch in April'

Derren Brown: Trick of the Mind 2
Channel 4, from April 15th
What is it? Old weirdy-beardy returns to take his mind-****ery onto the streets, tricking celebs like Simon Pegg, Alistair McGowan and Jonathan Ross along the way.
Why watch? To see if the ginger chancer tries to shoot himself again
[4/5 stars]

Unfortunately the description is up to the usual standard of FHM writers (ahem - I only buy it for the fashion pages, I'll have you know), however this is the information we're looking for!

By the way... anyone seen his new tour yet?

I was at Blackpool Pleasure beach last year and saw a lot of this being filmed, the Blackpool part is really cool

By the way, Ive posted a review of the show under miscellaneous listed as 'northampton' .
Let me tell you now it was bloody brilliant!

Watched it last night on E4... He keeps doing it... we all know how some of his "tricks" are done but it still blows me away... I wont say anymore as I dont want to ruin it for people who will watch it on friday night :wink:

yeah I saw it last night too, superb. So does Derren practise the art of mentalism as oppose to magic? sorry, Im very new to all this.

by **kems** » Apr 12th, '05, 13:13

He mix's them, for example the trick with the "fingers seeing as eyes" im 100% sure this was a pure magic trick. i didnt see him catch a glipse but the effect was made soo good with the presentation.

I can only agree.

The red BMX trick was phenomenal. I will never understand how Derren does it - he just seems to have a knack for getting into people's heads...

:twisted:

so was the bald guy about to hit him? It seemed to cut very quickly.

by **Mark Waddington** » Apr 16th, '05, 10:00

Guess we will never know, but i agree, it was an amazing show and i thought that it was nice that he was in a way "outsmarted" by a 10 year old, a nice bit of publicity for him i suppose!

Ill be wathing the full series, im hooked on Mr Brown, i would love to meet him!

by **Stephen Ward** » Apr 16th, '05, 10:32

Yer Derren is a nice guy. I meet him when he was filming the Blackpool Section for the new show. He made time to stop and sign autographs for people.

I've seen the money prediction done before on Max Magic, or something very similar. Still impressive and I liked seeing Derren being caught out by the kid. Not many magicians would have still included that footage - got a laugh and suspect a heap of respect as well.
