If you didn't watch Derren Brown tonight you missed a treat.


He puts this zombie game in a pub, and while some guy is playing it he makes him fall into a catatonic state, then they take the guy down the street, put him in a building that's a replica of the game, give him a gun then run off and make him wake up.

Cue laods of actors coming in as zombies, the guy just goes insane, and as he's about to get overwhelmed Derren makes him go cataonic again, takes him back to arcade and wakes him up. And the guy just thinks he's played the best game ever.


I've explained it badly, but seriously, if this is repreated you need to watch it, it's incredible.

I agree, I thought it was awesome. To have had that experience...

It was perfect: sealed doors, groaning, banging on the windows, the undead coming out of previously sealed doors. A scene right out of a horror movie with a genuine reaction.

I saw it last night too. Really was awesome the way he could fool the mind.

Did you believe all that spiel about how he was bullied in his childhood, which meant he was able to count stuff quickly?

Twas fantastic.

I especially liked the part where he started shouting expletives at the zombie woman and shot her in the face.

Gotta know how Brown learnt all this stuff.
Must have had a very strange childhood ... to know how the mind works so well, and how to effect it ... amazing.

It was really really great. Man that guy is a genius.

When he was shooting up the zombies, the bloke was going insane - did you see the ook on his face? He was almost orgasmic

Hopefully some people saw my warning:

And yes, it was amazing. And disturbing.

Amazingly disturbing.

Even I did think for a second it might be a bit unethical though, mainly because of the risk he would start physically attacking the actors.

No-one "found out" it was a hoax ... it obviously was a hoax, or chav mind-trick ... that he explained away at the end.
