Derren Brown ESP trick

Postby DanielKnox » Jan 11th, '09, 15:56



Derren Brown perfomed the famous ESP trick on trick of the mind does anyone know if that particular trick uses pyschology or trickery??

You'll one day realise that a much much larger percentage of Derren's effects rely on magic technique rather than psychology. There are plenty of ESP effects out there, take a look on alakazam.

Then you'll realise it's an even larger percentage than that! And BRAvo to the man for it; it is, after all, that magic is about.
Care to explain the "famous" esp trick and we may be able to point you towards or beyond esp?

Perhaps he means the ESP trick in Something Wicked? That was a cracker, that was. (I think it's in the special features section).

I believe it is a misunderstanding. They view Forum requests as Requests on the forum not for the forum.

Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Then their ESP is flawed and they should stick to mere trickery.


:D I sounded just like 7 of 9 there, didn't I?

I don't know about the effect that you're talking about but if you're interested in ESP effects then Beyond ESP is well worth a look at.

Yes, Beyond ESP is superb. Some kind soul wrote a cracking review on it a couple of years or so ago. ;)
