Magic - Mind Reading and Hypnotism
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.!
Featured Artiste
The star of Channel 4s "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.
Peter Barnard of The Times wrote of the show in December 2000
