Who's Derren Brown?
Derren Brown
Thank you, but I could have done that myself, I meant "explain, in your own words if possible, what aspects of who this person is are relevant to the discussion". So, he's a Real Life version of The Mentalist. That is very cool. Why shouldn't people get extract useful knowledge from his shows?
Well, go right ahead - if you have not encountered this sort of thing before.
Er. Hmmm... Look, I don't want to sound rude, but could you elaborate on that? As it is, your post provides me with no information at all, except for the fact that you seem to think it's a bad idea...
Well, if you are not familiar with Derren Brown, perhaps my original comment is not for you. Derren is a magician who specialises in mind control. He has some of the skills he claims to have - but to get that across on TV is often difficult - since it is not easy to reassure the audience that you are not using stooges who are in on the tricks.
Oh! Right. Actually that's a very apt comparison!
