I saw his live show last summer in London, was ace. I thought that armed robbery thing he did recently was well good, but, of course he has his doubters. Probably is all shit but who cares? Title: Derrin Brown Post by: danny121 on Thursday, March 30, 2006, 22:04:24 You ever see the one where he persuaded the woman in the bookies that hed one 200quid with a losing slip? Imagine some of the birds he could mind trick into bed!

Imagine some of the birds he could mind trick into bed! That was cracking, it was just the confidence and tone he said it in which stopped her from even questioning him. Title: Derrin Brown Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, March 30, 2006, 23:28:32 I think he really does have special mind powers and this 'trick of the mind' and deception stuff is a cover.
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: larwood on Friday, March 31, 2006, 07:16:06 He scares me a bit :) ,but he is brilliant.
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: land_of_bo on Friday, March 31, 2006, 09:58:27 He is clearly a jedi knight.
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: Piemonte on Friday, March 31, 2006, 10:03:49 His real name is Daryll :|
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: RobertT on Friday, March 31, 2006, 10:04:59 He's for real. Confidence and knowing the tricks the mind can play (normally through the power of persuasion) can do many things.
When I worked at GWR a whole room of PC's got pinched in the middle of the day. Some guys turned up in a van dressed as maintenance people, walked straight through reception (looking confident in where they wanted to go) and walked back out with the PC's, people just assumed they were taking them for maintenance reasons! The simplest thing to compare his ability is the old annoying thing of saying things to put people off counting. It's easy to count but all it takes is someone to say random number for a few seconds and sods law says you'll lose where you are. The mind can be so easily influenced. Title: Derrin Brown Post by: STFC_Chris on Friday, March 31, 2006, 11:42:29 Going to see him at the Wyvern in a couple of weeks...can't wait. 8)
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, March 31, 2006, 12:00:19 he's a bit of a clever one. i bet he's got a psychology degree from oxford.
saw his show the other night where he turned a load of atheists/sceptics into believers in God just by touch. Title: Derrin Brown Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, March 31, 2006, 13:15:39 Quote from: "Piemonte" His real name is Daryll :| And his stage name is Derren Title: Derrin Brown Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, March 31, 2006, 13:57:04 Quote from: "simon pieman" Quote from: "Piemonte" His real name is Daryll :| And his stage name is Derren Title: Derrin Brown Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, March 31, 2006, 14:13:53 He is/was at the Wyvern !

Title: Derrin Brown Post by: STFC_Chris on Saturday, April 1, 2006, 13:38:14 Quote from: "Rich" are any tickets left for the wyvern thing? oh and when is it? On the 13th April, but it sold out ages ago. 8) Title: Derrin Brown Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, April 2, 2006, 16:57:10 ah well
Title: Derrin Brown Post by: STFC_Chris on Thursday, April 13, 2006, 22:20:37 If you ever get a chance to go and see his show, do it! He is a genius...well worth the money. 8)
Still cant quite come to terms with it all, the control he had over the people he used is terrifying. :shock: Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, May 22, 2009, 07:51:30 He's a bit dead good ain't he.
We figured out bits of how he got money from the losing ticket at the dogs, or bits of it anyway. Both times dog #4 won. When he went to the counter he said "This is the dog you're looking for (four, 4)" The second time he said "That's why we came to this window (win dough)". No doubt it's not quite as simple as that though, I'd likely get nicked if I try it. Yeah I know it's an old thread, but he's a new discovery to me. Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, May 22, 2009, 10:54:54 And his stage name is Derren :D He should have chosen Errol Brown for his stage name! He could have had the slogan, "I believe in miracles" That's genius. Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Berniman on Friday, May 22, 2009, 11:01:06 The bloke is a genius!
I didn't realise he was gay until a few months ago either! Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, May 22, 2009, 11:02:15 hes not a gay????
Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Dazzza on Friday, May 22, 2009, 11:07:51 NLP it's well worth a bit of research and actually works to different degrees.
These aren't the droids you're looking for.... Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, May 22, 2009, 11:33:47 My little Sis is going to see him at Reading this evening. He's fucking amazing and like Dazzza says, most of it is just crazy old NLP.
And he is a gayer according to my Sister JFW. Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: flammableBen on Friday, May 22, 2009, 11:36:14 My mate went to see his new thing in Hastings and said it was a bit disappointing.
Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Berniman on Friday, May 22, 2009, 12:06:25 hes not a gay???? Yes he is! http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a94245/derren-brown-reveals-gay-relationship.html Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: suttonred on Friday, May 22, 2009, 12:07:30 hes not a gay???? He certainly is, had the same partner for years, not sure if the partner is gay though, he might have been put in a trance. Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, May 22, 2009, 12:30:36 Oh!!!! my bad sorry gay watchers! :soapy tit wank: In my head for some reason I was thinking of Paul Mckenna I always get those too muddled up :-[
Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Dazzza on Friday, May 22, 2009, 15:34:33 Just remember JFW 'brown bottoms'.
Paul just likes to fist cats. Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, May 22, 2009, 15:45:08 Ok thanks thats a really handy hint
Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, May 22, 2009, 23:08:08 NLP it's well worth a bit of research and actually works to different degrees. But if you know NLP you can have a great deal of fun in a meeting ( particulary small meetings ) by differentiating your body position from what you're saying and seeing the confusion in some pepole's eyes. Basically its piss easy to spot an NLPer and good fun to find them out.These aren't the droids you're looking for.... Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Simon Pieman on Saturday, May 23, 2009, 19:19:03 How about you just pay attention and pull them up on everything?
Title: Re: Derrin Brown Post by: Spy on Saturday, May 23, 2009, 19:21:52 what does NLP stand for? Neuro Linguistic Programming, right?

They're negotiating a deal with the lizard men to run their Earth franchise on their behalf as we speak. And I for one will welcome our new bum bouncing overlords |
