And you havent even watched his shows. I think the britis here will know how amzing this guy is.

Rather like the Russian Roulette challenge, staging it is the whole point. He is a psychological magician, who knows that 95% of people are very predictable in their thoughts and actions.

From the website.

Derren Brown is a unique force in the world of illusion - he can seemingly predict and control human behaviour. He doesn’t claim to be a mind-reader, instead he describes his craft as a mixture of applied psychology, magic, misdirection and showmanship. Whatever you choose to call it, his unparalleled performances amaze and unsettle all those who watch him. This is a powerful and provocative form of entertainment, unlikely to be imitated for a long while.
