Would this freak you out?

I'd have thought hiring people to play along was pretty useful too

And for every "street trick" that works, why don't they show the 30 that didn't come of so well?


And the bits on stage...... all the things he works out..... great.
But you have to write in for tickets for god's sake Name, address, etc.....
I could convince you I was psychic, with the help of a team of researchers

So...he's a fraud?

 

[JoseDominguez]

no, he never claims to be anything more than entertainment.. ... the fact that people assume it's all real is nothing to do with him.

Mediums are frauds...... he's an entertainer who's act relies on the viewer taking it all in. Think about it..... if it's not real, it's not particularly entertaining is it? Read the disclaimers

Good fun if you choose to believe it..... but just as scripted and editted as any other show.

why dont the guys friends fall asleep, seems very fishy if you ask me

 

[JoseDominguez]

'cos it's not real!!!!

 

[Skeet]

Yeah...your right Jose...but, I've always been open minded about such things...

I have seen a few things etc in my time, and know some very gifted (depending on how you look at it) people.

Not all Medium's are frauds, tho...obviously million are...infact, many of the best ones, dont even consider themselves to be mediums and dont promote such things....I am marrying into a family, where the females are all gifted, so I do know a little of what I am talking about..some things are very hard dispute, once you experience them...!

There is a disclaimer on Derren Browns show stating it isn't real, that it's all made up and that a lot of things are staged. That's from him, he doesn't claim to be anything but a "con man" and he originaly set out to show up those who do claim to have "special powers"
I think the fact that so many people believe he is some sort of magical mind reader proves his point doesn't it? He isn't psychic..... but he convinced you

Makes ya think who else is pulling your pud dunnit

Well...wouldnt say he "Convinced me" as such, never seen the disclaimer, so I wouldnt know about that...obviously, one does think..."hmmm"...but, it's entertaining, so thats cool...I have never believed him to be anything more, than a clever man, who can read body language and has the ability to suggest things to people, thats all...

As for other people "pulling my pud"..well...nobody in my family does, I have experienced things, that have no other explanation, than the one I have accepted...mind you, till it happens to you, you will never understand (if thats the right word, hell..even I dont "understand"!) it.
