Derren Brown-famous hypnotist and mind illusionist

[Oh my love]

Hi all
First of all, I'm really glad to be back again on this forum. As far as I remember, I last posted here in 2005 :)
People on this forum, who are from UK, probably know Derren Brown, a famous psychologist, mind illusionist and hypnotist.

I first saw him a couple of weeks ago when my friend gave me a link of one of his videos .
So, have you ever met him in live? What do you think about him?
In my opinion he's one of the best psychological illusionists because he uses techniques that can fool even psychiatrists. He's also a very talanted hypnotist.
Since 2000 he has made several documentary films. Here's One of his most entertaining videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws54lrylm7c

I've certainly heard of him!

Never been to see him live although it would be interesting.

I have seen a lot of his TV shows and he is very good at what he does. Pretty outstanding really. I'm not sure what the link you have given goes to but there was one he did several years back where he went to America and had to convince specialists in particular supernatural fields (eg that he was psychic, that he had been abducted by aliens and was a healer as a result etc) that he was one of them and it worked each time.

Another good one was the horse racing betting one.
