It’s one
thing to know
your own mind
but it’s
quite another
if someone else
has an insight
into your thought
processes!
Using the power
of suggestion
and picking up
on the involuntary
signals transmitted
by their ‘victims’,
these amazing
showmen and women
can seemingly
probe the inner
recesses of the
human mind with
staggering accuracy
and with plenty
of hilarious happenings
on the way.
Endless hours
of studying body
language and maintaining
intense concentration
in a game of bluff
and counter bluff
enables these
supremely gifted
individuals to
produce truly
mesmerising displays
that leaves an
audience spellbound.
And, as if psychological
wizardry wasn’t
impressive enough
you can always
delight your audience
by allowing us
to conjure up
some of the most
mystifying magical
acts in the land
where the hand
is faster than
the eye and illusion
– or should
that be pure magic
- is the order
of the day.!

Performer
The
star of Channel
4’s “These
are not magic tricks,
this is mind control”,
Derren can trace
his interest in
psychological techniques
to childhood.
“I
was a very good
liar and a revoltingly
charming child.
Like a lot of solitary
children, I developed
an interest in magic
at a young age,
but it was only
later at University
that I started to
take it seriously.
I studied Law and
German, and although
I hated Law, I found
myself developing
an analytical mind-set,
able to spot the
loopholes in anyone’s
argument very quickly.
Derren
concentrated on
the use of suggestion
and psychological
techniques and through
practising on real
people he developed
his skill to the
extent that he was
able to create the
TV show ‘Derren
Brown: Mind Control’.
In the show he looks
at different sides
of psychological
control and mind
reading ranging
from prisoners and
poker players to
twins.
