derren brown- the system programme

[Falmerite]

We also had an envelope with 'cock' written inside. Think I have to see the show in London for more clues as to how he does it.

 

[Spiros]

I was there on Weds night. Some of the stuff he does seems to defy explanation. The fact that he managed to get some random bloke on the other end of a phone to come out with the serial number of the 10 pound note on the table was a pretty impressive piece of suggestion. The scroll of paper at the end is impressive because of the wholly random stuff that he seems to get right, like the fact that the guy on the phone was a tree surgeon and the fact that the bloke who tried to guess the amount of money in the box would say Croatia. I was one of the unlucky ones who ended up on stage after being hit in the face by one of the frisbees.

 

[Nibble]

At the end he blindfolded himself and started calling out people's names at random and was able to mind read everyone, stuff that he could not possibly have known beforehand.

He is very clever and uses clever techniques. But he is not mind reading is he. We know this.

 

[Spiros]

He has always said on his TV shows that he is not a magician or mind reader, but only uses suggestion, hypnotism, distraction and showmanship. He's bloody good at it though

 

[Robot Chicken]

He is very clever and uses clever techniques. But he is not mind reading is he. We know this.

No he's not, but it's more than guesswork.
