Comment on Derren Brown and how he does what he does by makka

Some of us are more influenced than others. Derren sugested to the audience at one of his shows that when listening to some music some may be forced to rise out of their seats. When the music was played this happened to a handful of people. Now you can say they were more suggestible if you like but they are obviously people who will do anything to get on TV. Stage hypnotists ’select’ who they think are more likely to perform off stage before they are presented to their audience and all they then have to do is conduct some very attention seeking idiots. Stage hypnosis is fake. What Derren does is amazing, whether he uses any methodology or trickery or not. To say it’s purely a magic act is ludicrous. AND THE PERSON WHO MENTIONS URI GELLARIS CLEARLY BARKING MAD. Uri is the biggest fake ever. He uses pre-bending of spoons, suggestion and self indulgent promotion of himself. The man has made am entire career out of a bending techique that most people could do with a little practice. He is neither psychic, mystical or SANE! Listening to the man ramble away like David Icke should be enough to convince anyone that this man believes his own hype to the point of insanity and dillusion.

Great insight post to one of my personal favorite magicians. I love Stephen’s reply becauses it’s so dead on. I’ll read both of Derren’s books and have seen about all his shows thanks to youtube. Derren is the most important magicians performing today. Very clever, GREAT showmanship and even fools me. Oh and if Paul Daniels says he know I believe he does in fact know the solution but who cares. Derren Brown is a master of the artform he has made and I and many others I sure just enjoy what he brings to the art.

Comment on When a square peg really does fit into a round hole by Bob Gurkin

Jeff Scanlan. Harry Eng did (at least once) show how one of his bottles was made. And he used a microwave to do it. It was on a Japanese game show and Harry Eng was featured and many of his bottles were shown. For the show he showed how he put the ping pong balls in the bottles. Im not going to say exactly how it was done, but it was sheer simplicity. Took a matter of seconds to put the ball in the bottle. I too have been working on putting objects inside a glass object, but I am working on putting objects inside a light bulb. So far I have dozens of broken bulbs and very few completed

just watched the one where derren is talking to simon pegg and he says to simon you could have a bmx or an xbox, instead of something you dont want like a car or an xbox. basically telling him that the only good thing in the situation was a bmx and therefore he was tricked into thinking thats what he wanted. its amazing how he slips these things into conversation though

He is simply amazing. He seems to get everything right! I’m guessing he has a 50% failure rate which is not shown on camera (like ‘the system’)?
