Derren Brown - Evening Of Wonders

[Santino]

i know what you mean, but this was different.

History will judge us.


Or be on a panel of judges with Geography and French.

 

[DexterTCN]

So the French win WWIII?

random blindfolded mindreading of audience members who'd put questions in a jar.

That's a pretty standard trick if it's what I think it is, will be interested to see what (if any) spin he puts on it

 

[Ground Elder]

Here's your 9.45 bump.

 

[baldrick]

*tunes in*

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

This better be good, the clips I've seen so far were nowt more than cold reading (almost certainly backed up with "hot" reading). He is quite possibly the best person I've ever seen doing this though, so even if there's nowt else (which I doubt ) it'll be entertaining...

 

[moomoo]

It's all real you know.

 

[quimcunx]

Well reminded.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It's all real you know.

Well, yeah, that's kinda the point

 

[tufty79]

[baldrick]

why didn't he want to do number 6?

 

[subversplat]

I'd have done number 6!

 

[insomnia]

why didn't he want to do number 6?

Think he's saving it!!!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Either a setup for later or her features were too hidden by makeup.

 

[baldrick]

mmmm...interesting

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I knew the number would be 347 even before Derren wrote it down

 

[baldrick]

why/how?

 

[baldrick]

lol

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

why/how?

There's various 3 digit numbers that people will statistically choose when given the choice, and patterns they will follow if asked again.

And the bit he's just done with the note is very clever

 

[moomoo]

That was amazing!

 

[baldrick]

hehehehe, derren as the gorilla

 

[insomnia]

Haha.... brilliant

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Very good

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Ideomotor effect in full, errr, effect

 

[moomoo]

I don't like this table thing - it scares me.

Nowt to be scared of

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Observe the notch halfway down the leg of the table, and ask yourself why it's there

 

[moomoo]

Observe the notch halfway down the leg of the table, and ask yourself why it's there

Why is it there?

 

[baldrick]

i wasn't paying attention really, i assumed there was *something* moving it though

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

How anyone can still believe in mediums/spiritualism etc when there's people like him in this world is utterly beyond me
