Did anyone watch this? I intended to set the VCR to record it and forgot, I was out and didnt get back until 11 this morning *throws up traffic cone*
I liked the last series of his stuff, either it's excellently choreagraphed or he is just one exceptional feller. Either way it's usually good watching.
If you watched it, was it just a bunch of randomly assorted 'tricks' or following a constant theme?
Any chance it'll be repeated on E4?

It was very good.
The chess thing I kinda had figured though.

Started off with a man picking up a phone from a phone box, then listening to it, and then collapsing on the floor.. No idea how that was done.
Then Derren made a London cabbie forget what the London Eye looked like, and where it was. Derren got him to drive right up to it without the cabbie knowing where it was.. funny, but not amazing.
Some on the street stuff next. He got a random girl to "mind-read" this random guy who was thinking of a friend's name. She got "John" to start off with, then started talking about corridors, and rooms leading off in a hospital. The guy's name was John Ward, which she eventually got.
He did a bit with Stephen Fry who was pretty funny. He got Fry to choose a random card from a spread out deck while he wasn't looking. Derren lit up, and got Fry to check where his card was in the deck, but the card was gone and had been replaced. Suddenly, Derren starts coffing, takes his rollup out his mouth - he'd been smoking Fry's card :)
Something else on the street about Derren guessing how many fingers people held up behind their backg, and then by getting them to guess how many fingers he had held up behind his back.
Finally he assembled about 10 chess boffins and managed to win the majority of the matches, by playing them all at the same time, and playing them against each other, in a complicated series of remembering moves and repeating them against each other.
And then right at the end, the guy lying on the floor in the phone box got up slowly and walked away. Not a bad show.

Do you think it's all staged then or real?
i think it's "real".
It's all fake. Simple.
Its real. I went to one of his shows and the guy is so damn sharp. He did a few incredible things involving mind reading and then spelling out the name of a dead loved one of an audience member using a ouija board, it was all very involving an freaky. You almost thought there was another presence in the room at the same time.
The show last night was okay, and the Chess thing was very good, and funny to see how the other players were baffled.

It's not fake, as in everything is staged.
And it's not real, as in he can read people's minds - because that's impossible.
It's just knowing people - how to influence and pick up on what people do.
