There's another video of him flourishing with cards, backwards.

There's now a Channel 4 website for 'The Events' - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/derren-brown-the-events

Not much on it apart from a little piece saying what the shows are about.

'Derren's been working on The Events for over a year, producing four highly complex shows of 'misdirection'.
Each event has an underlying theme, to trick, to win, to fool and, of course, to control.'

Hmm...

I'm getting quite the Wiseman vibe from this current show. Elsewhere Brown has mentioned the phrase "fooling the nation". We shall see, I guess...

then the only thing left is the method.

if you applied for tickets and your a magician.. likelihood is you'd have got bounced.. they are very hot on making sure the audience was/is non magicians.. which is fair enough...

so if you do have tickets... keep quiet ;)

There's a "rumor" spreading that Derren will attempt a very big jewel heist of some sort.:shock: Is there more news known about this here, a lot of people are saying it???

Does Rob Queen have anything to do with this??

I've heard that rumour as well. Was looking at the blog and there seems to be several articles giving hints about this as well... or am I just paranoid and making things up??

Rob Queen??

There has been several rumours of some big "trick" happening live in september. A jewel heist certainly could be it...

Am I the only one who has laboriously recorded the ad in which DB's speech is played backwards, in 10 second chunks on his son's DSi, then reversed it to hear what he is really saying?

I have to say that I am excited. And GUESS WHAT?!
You know those ads in the background, well they are here:

http://stucktomysofa.com/
http://retsehcnamdetinu.com/

:D Now I think I know what may happen. On BOTH of these sites (yup they are real) :shock: :shock: :shock: there is a mention of hypnosis and "sticking to the spot." Intriguing...

So basically, pretty much all we know is that the "Event" will be interactive, and Derren (or his web team) is hinting on these sites that people are "stuck to the sofa" and on the Manchester United website (reverse horizontally) there is the messege: "he felt'stuck to the spot.'"

Now this may be just me... but I think Derren may try hypnotising all the viewers! That would be amazing, but yes it'd be interactive, and yes people would be stuck, and YES people will become stuck to their sofas! I have it! 8)

Well... that's the theory. Good night!! :wink:

this is cool. Love the theory :)

also read another theory somewhere else: ROB the QUEEN ?!
Is that what Pierre was hinting at?

Obviously Manchester United has something to do with this, as well?

AND has anyone seen this?

Hmm. Direct hypnosis is illegal over the box, if I'm not mistaken, but I'll be very, very interested to see what he comes up with.
