Derren Brown is being talked about as someone unique and altogether different in the world of magic and illusion - he can predict, suggest and control human behaviour.

Whether it be convincing a medical student to drive a needle through his own flesh, winning at will at a London casino, fooling pole dancers into thinking he has touched them or making a bookie pay out on losing bets.

Brown doesn't pretend he's a mind reader, he admits it's all persuasion and simple human psychology. He's even prepared to share some of his secrets with you, demonstrating the amazing power of perception, influence and subliminal suggestion.
