Ohh cool

I've met him a gazillion times & he is a very pleasant gentleman indeed! very polite, friendly & down to earth!

not at all like some people would think, a lot of people think he'd be scary but nah he's adorable

A gazillion times? How the hang do you manage that? He strikes me as an incredibly clever man.. which is important in my book

If we've told her once, we've told her a million times - don't exaggerate...

A friend of mine recorded Derren for me when he did the show about the Psychic from Liverpool. I actually felt sorry for Derren, that Psychic wasnt very friendly at all was he. And you do feel for all the ones who have lost especially children as what will they think now where their loved ones are. Very sad.

His book 'Trick of the Mind' is excellent. A really interesting insight into all the stuff he is interested in: the psychology of magic, hypnotism, memory, science, scepticism, religion etc.

I love the stuff he is doing now about investigating supernatural claims, appearing in Dawkin's documentary and the Messiah special. He is the natural heir to James Randi.

It was a far better book than I thought it would be, being as it was published for everyone. A very intelligent look at the way the mind works and other related matters. I learnt a lot from it.

Derren Brown would probably disagree.

Derren style makes me addicted to Mentalism, he elegant, soft, but in one side Freaky, Bizzare, supranatural,,,

the undertaker trick of him, just so much mind blowing mental routine i've ever seen. sadly, in my country, it's so hard to get anything bout him, he didn't release a lecture dvd, just a perfom who it's still hard to find in Indonesia,
in the end, i think, Derren Brown is one of the best Mentalist in the Universe,,

Derren Brown's brilliant. I saw his Svengali show and it was very good. He's the one that got me interested in all of this, pretty much.

I love Derren Brown. Currently reading tricks of the mind and going to see him in March.

I love his stuff like miracles for sale and "The man who contacts the dead", he does a really good job of exposing how people are using that stuff to scam people without being overly harsh. Penn & Teller's BS is pretty good too, but they are a lot harsher than he is.
