simply incredible

please please please please
go to youtube.com and type in derren brown in the search box... watch everything you can get- its just some incredible stuff- some of it is hypnosis and suggestion, some is just crazy memorization tricks, black jack... just watching him talk to people and manipulating them... its incredible... he has his own show on BBC or one of those british channels...

the one with the subliminal advertising is great, and the school teacher, and the talk show hosts where he gets them to both think of a random object and they both come up with "boots" after a totally free choice of just "think of any object"-
and the dog racing track stuff is awesome too...
honestly i'd say the 2 videos below (the first 2 i saw) are actually the least impressive of the things he does)
he gets 9/10 of a 50/50 thing from behind a wall...
i love the one where he takes a shuffled deck of cards, flips through it twice and eyes closed calls the order out, and then one where he sits down with someone, spreads the cards out on the table, tells them to pick one, and then stares them down until he guesses it- and then it turns out the card the guy was thinking wasnt even in the deck to begin with... there are alot of prominent british actors that come on there too...

just trust me- he makes the stuff david blaine does seem like child's play- its just awesome...




(here's a perfect example of what i'm talking about)
