Derren Brown |
Derren Brown caused quite a stir in the UK last week with his TV show “Heist.”
True to its title, Heist featured Brown’s ability to influence his subjects completely. He persuaded four managers unwittingly to carry out an armed robbery.
From our read of the British papers, only one of the several potential subjects balked at Mr. Brown’s order to steal, to commit a crime.
That’s pretty influential.
The UK press has gone wild for this young man (he’s still only 34) who claims no supernatural power, only the refined skills of perception and influence.
He garnered great attention with his live (with seven second delay in case he failed) Russian roulette challenge.
His tour named for the Ray Bradbury classic, Something Wicked This Way Comes has sold out in almost every venue and begins its newest swing this March.
Check out some incredible video clips from Mr. Brown’s Channel 4 television program here.
And whilst your browser is in the UK, check out Mr. Brown’s very professional and easy to navigate web site here.
