Derren Brown - Miracle
23 Answers
This is quite difficult - I want to tell the world just how extraordinary the show last night was - but DB asks the audience not to give away what happens.
Which is absolutely right, the effect of the surprise/confusion/joy/bafflement would be seriously lessened if there were many clues given about the content of the show.
All I can really say is - I don't know how it's done - but it is wonderful.
I really can't believe what I saw (or appeared to see) at times - but I do know that it was worth every penny (and more) that we paid to see the show.
We were a group of very happy (if baffled) twitchers and puzzlers in Milton Keynes last night.
If you get a chance to see the show do not miss it.

I wouldn't even call him a magician really. I think wiki describes him as a mentalist, whatever that is. OH and I had tickets for Milton Keynes. But now he's ex-oh and still has the tickets :-).
They aren't stooges, cloverjo. How.much would it cost to keep every one of those people quiet? A friend of mine was in Apocalypse- the main person. He had no idea.

No-one has ever come forward and proved anything about DB using stooges at his shows, viv41.
The sheer number of people needed (perhaps 20 or 30 each night) and his method of selecting them seems to render it unlikely that they are all in on the act.
Which doesn't mean it isn't (very clever) trickery - just that it's not as obvious as 'planted' accomplices.

Thinking back to last night there must have been about two dozen people involved in the illusions......times that by the number of shows he performs.... that's a lot of folk to keep quiet....
Especially when you think of how much a newspaper would pay for .... This is how much Derren paid me to help him in his act........☺

Ael.....that would negate both his and the theatre's insurance.....and I sit way far back so I don't get involved.....though something did happen to me last night which I am still trying to work out.....
He did it....he couldn't have....but he influenced my mind somehow......and I will find out how he did it if I have to lock him in the shed!....☺

I agree gness. It would be wildly unpredictable and expensive to keep so many hundreds of people completely quiet. And as I said, I know one of them. Sorry, vivid, I thought you were referring only to magicians, which I have no interest in. Derren Brown doesn't claim anything supernatural, he's a total sceptic. It's more suggestion and psychology. Very hard, but possible.
