"I'd love to know how much of D(a)rren Brown's stuff is faked."

C'moooon, the stuff he was doing last night was ridiculous! Making himself invisible to that bloke, then playing around with chairs and that box in front of him for God's sake - how the f**k!? I know that it's all down to suggestion, but I don't think that all of it is real - like David Bland - I reckon they've only used the few clips out of dozens that actually worked out right. Still very impressive, but questionable.

Does he not mean Brown's letting the chamber freewheel?

Do you understand how revolvers work at all?

There is actually a trick to this.
He is playing with one bullet,so
it is heavy.The bullet always goes
down to the bottom chamber because
of its weight.

Of course it helps when you are playing with a blank bullet.

Nah, he did actually play, if you watched it you'd see how it was worked. All suggestion, and getting to know the person loading the chamber.

All of his stuff is real, unlike Bland's camera trickery that makes him "levitate". He's on a crane. I've seen Derren Brown live and the guy is amazing, there's *no way* he fakes what he can do, he's just extraordinary.

Perhaps it was ghosts that faked the iraqi torture pictures.

Surely if celebrities died unfulfilled they'd want to come back as Ghosts and seek attention; so why aren't they appearing on TV every night, chasing news reporters about or scaring the Prime Minister at Question Time?
