It is very nice. All of that has been done, generally speaking. I seem to come across people who have already decided they kind of like me, or find me interesting, and that is a really amazing kind of world to then walk around in. You then end up being able to almost choose your friends out of people who would genuinely be happy to be your friend, which is a very unexpected, really kind of nice, and by far the most touching and loveliest aspect of being known.
It balances out ultimately, I suppose. People do sort of react like they know you, and it is a nice feeling, and occasionally, there have been a couple of times on this tour, I have had letters from young magicians or kids that maybe are lacking in some kind of confidence, and for some reason me doing my stuff has meant something to them or changed the way they see the world, and the way they felt.
It is very little to do with me, it is just what they are taking from it. I want to ask about the transition from working on the big live shows to working on the television series. You have people to choose from at random…. I think it feels fairly natural. It is just a different thing. So you sort of find different things and different flavours for each thing, and you pick people with particular jobs, which becomes the flavour of that piece.
There are times with the audience where I do pick people out, and I have to pick people who will respond best to what I am going to do.
The whole point of the show is a big audience participation thing. It keeps it very fresh every night as well. It keeps it alive, which is important. It happened the night I came to see Svengali. Without giving too much away, what is it you look for? Is there an instant something you spot?
How do you make those quick judgements? Yeah, it depends a bit on what I am doing, and what the particular thing is. So I will always know that I am going to send one or two back, because I just have to get up one or two more than I need.
So I can say that person and that person and that person are good, and the other people just have to go back, because the whole thing works better as a three-stage thing. Most of the stuff I do can be broken down into three phases; there is just something intrinsically more dramatic about a three-stage thing.
There is not time to really kind of process it or put your finger on it, but I just know that they are going to be difficult. I would rather somebody goes back thinking they have outfoxed me rather than just thinking that they are superfluous, or that I think they are going to be a bit of a pain!
There are all sorts of reasons that may not necessarily be the reason I am saying at the time, if that makes sense? Also, if I talk to people in the audience, there are a few things in this show where people in the first routine might be used later on. So in the first routine, they are just a voice in the darkness, but I can quickly tell if they are going to be not quite where I need them to be for the other thing later on.
Sometimes I want people to be challenges, when people try and catch you out, they normally become much more predictable, and go down particular routes, more than someone who is playing the game fairly.
It will be for the specific thing that I am doing at that time. You may be interested in this article! I went to see this show and the guy sitting next to me got picked to go up with the doll, he said that it was totally mind blowing and no way could be a fix with the music and Derren touching the doll he could feel a weird sensation in his body. Still the best show around!! I watched it on Channel 4, and it's obvious that the majority of his show is his usual confidence tricks.
The Svengali doll however was truly remarkable. I was sure the guy was in on it or knew what to do. However the whole way through the poor bloke looked terrified and that was what sold it to me! Truly remarkable! Derren first asks the entire audience to think of the initials of someone they know. He says Svengali doll will transmit the initials on the handkerchief this way - i. However, most people forget about this part.
When the subject is on stage, Derren somehow finds out i. Perhaps a stage assistant does this while Derren is talking to the audience. This also reminds the subject who they were thinking of so it is fresh in their mind. This would be cut from the TV version or, at least, we get an "audience shot" while it is happening. The initials are added to the handkerchief once the crew know the name of the person the subject was thinking of. The rest just happens. The important part is that Derren first asks the entire audience to think of the initials of someone they know.
This is key, as he never comes back to this and never reminds us about it. The subject is a stooge in my mind - the illusion is created by saying no stooge is used. If you pay attention, the doll-puppet participant is the only participant in the show who is not chosen at random, he is chosen directly by Derren. Once the stooge participant theory is accepted, the rest falls into place. Watch this section again while applying the stooge theory; the doll's movements are pre-programmed and the stooge acts them out.
Yup, I just watched it as well, and my mind is blown. However, I actually want to believe in magic, so the fact that there have been no explanations yet, pleases me :. You can see the devils tail the first time you look at the poster its obvious as soon as you look at the poster it doesn't just appear after. It's a load of bull poop! The picture gained a devil's tail on Derren for me Perhaps the person was an actor and already knew what letters the doll was going to point at, because it was programmed to only point at those numbers by someone off stage.
Daren said the words 'Devil' and 'sinister'. I think that was what the suggestive part was. He has done that before after all, remember the episode where he asked Simon Pegg what present he wanted?
What are they talking about at the start of this article. The poster didn't change Personal Finance. Welcome to HubPages. Related Articles. By Kimberly. Team Sports. There remains plenty to gasp at and enjoy, including a befuddling clairvoyancy number and a William-Tell-with-a-paintball-gun routine. But these seem like so many parlour games next to the story, and the appearance, of Brown's homunculus sidekick, whose dead-eyed devilry provides the only real spine-tingles. I was left with the rare experience of leaving a Derren Brown show a little unsatisfied.
How does Derren Brown do it? No, this is not a rhetorical question. I'm really asking. Derren Brown can't read minds as it appears, so what IS going on? Suggest a correction.
