I was wondering, wouldn't it be good to see Derren Brown on the program Poker Face?

I mean, the amount of things he could do, the possibilities would be endless! To name just a few;

-He would be able to tell whether people were lying or not !

-Use 'Anchoring' (I am not worthy to say the word without quotes) to make contestants think they are bottom of the leaderboard or the top of the leaderboard when it is the complete opposite!

-He could tell people whether to fold or not, depending if he felt in a good mood or not (person A is about to fold, he says "STOP!", saying they will stay in, then he saves them and they go on to the next round!)

-The above could be used in a bad way, if he wanted the person to leave with nothing

I thought I would just mention it. Post any ideas you have to what he would be able to do!

Yeah I was watching this the other night and was thinking the same thing.

How strange.

I do not understand how a magician could suggest this???? I appears you do know how his is achiving the "illusions" you refer to! I am not sure what methods you suggest he could use to do these mental feats under controlled conditions?

aaah the beauty of derren brown and Andy Nyman's work .....summed up by the first two posts.

CLASS.
