    It doesn't matter who's ring you'd like to think you were in ;) the fact is that you watched his video, he roped you in like a gold fish at the Hoppings.

    Were both his target audience, im just not in denial.

    Of course I do, he's amazing. His programme on fiddling a Casino using an innocent member of the Public who was totally oblivious to do so was excellent TV.

    However, for someone who isn't interested in the guy you've continued to talk about him for over an hour, you've already been seduced. I'll see you round mine tomorrow night in time for the show, bring some cans ;) :up:

    It sounds insane that the BBC would make a rule that says that nobody is allowed to predict the winning numbers on tv before they release the winning combination. I mean it's not like the odds of 1 in 13,983,816 are putting pressure on them by doing so. :|

    aye whatever. that 10 minutes of TV was the most entertaining tv i've seen in a while, end of.

    even if it is fake i dont care, hats off for creating such a national stir anyway :)

    anyone reading into it too much really needs to get out more.*

    It's a crease how many of you come on this board, spouting off like a clever cunt only to be decieved by some illusionist.

    Can't wait 'til tomorrow to see 'the truth'.

    His hypnotism was a lot more evident in this show.

    I was using my sky+ to go back to the white flashes on the walls that was displaying words like 'Forget' constantly. Thats why nee bugga could recall what happened post show!

    From his twitter:

    Morning. Speculation this morning fantastic. Lasers, split screens, tiny LED readouts in the balls. I am loving today. Hope you are well.
    about 3 hours ago from TwitterFon


    Wednesday night a few million of you decided to clog up the internet. Several computers caught fire, nerves were frayed and big hosting companies made promised that were broken. Even the Ch4 DB site went down and they have huge clusters. You lot should be ashamed.

    However we managed 3 of the top WORLD twitter trends, the “Derren Brown Lottery Prediction” site shot in to the top 20 wordpress sites within a few hours and we even made Australian news (Hello Oz! *waves* We love you but we’re not giving Tim Minchin back so forget about it!).

    We gained an extra 10k followers on facebook and similar amounts on twitter overnight and a whole bunch decided to email asking for “how it was done”. Now… seriously? and even more told us how DB has OBVIOUSLY done it and that we are “stupid”. Well we shall see…!

    This beats watching some fat wanker who was addicted to drugs & had a life of turmoil win some singing contest on ITV any day :wiggle:

    Aye definitely, has he released word on all of the other events he'll be staging yet?

    Was watching some older clips on Youtube last night when he put some you lad to sleep in the middle of the day, left him there until it was dark then brought him out of the hypnosis & told him he'd turned the Sun off - The kid broke into tears :lol:

    If you ask me this is the modern day equivalent of cauldron pots and magic wands.

    aye.
    Like him and believe him or not, hes an exceptionally clever bloke.

    Watched all his TV stuff and read most of his book tricks of the mind, every time you see or hear anything he does it just leaves you wondering how the fuck hes done whatever hes done.

    Was speaking to a couple of people recently who saw him live at the theatre royal recently and said he was unreal, would love to see him do a live show next time hes touring. :up:

    It's all an illusion, but everyone loves being in a position where it's hard to explain how something was done. Especially in a society where we all think we know it all. So fuck if it's a con. It's just a bit of escapism that gets you thinking. Better than most shite on tv today.

    Download the torrent of "Something Wicked This Way Comes" for perfect evidence of how he can totally manipulate his audience with his nerdy skills.

    As far as as illusionists go, anything he, or Criss Angel, do I'm genuinely interested in watching.
