Derren Brown – Reading Hexagon
Posted: Sat 7 May, 2005 Filed under: General, Reviews(ish) 3 Comments »While I still haven’t seen the show that Gordon’s referring to, we did see Derren Brown live last night. And it was bloody good.
Rather than “just” being a string of stunts, Derren turned out to be excellent on stage – funny, relaxed, interesting, clever – and more than a little creepy in places. The section where he walks on broken glass was – for me – the weakest part of the show, but it was still interesting to see. It was also fun to see Pix called on stage from the audience – yes, Pix, your “Oh fuck” was easily lip-read off the camera that was on you at the time! Just one of those random occurrences, but still good to see.
The final set piece was excellent too, although I won’t describe it as perhaps it would ruin it for people who have yet to see the show.

It is amazing that someone can learn Derren Brown secrets in 3 days. Have you seen http://www.DerrenBrownExposed.com ? They sell the best NLP course around including all Derren Brown secrets. I bought the course last Sunday and used my mom as a subject. My father was so much amused with the results that he wants to read the course now too (I dont want to think WHY!!!). You can re-program your subjects your mind that she/he will do almost anything you programmed her/him to do. In my case, I programmed my mom to give me 50 pound and after minutes she brought fifty pound happily to me (She normally moans even for a fiver) in case I need to go out with my mates. Me and dad was amazed! It is so much fun. Try it http://www.DerrenBrownExposed.com … You wont regret!
