There is a Jellyfish whose biology allows it to go from a fully mature Medusa, to its polyp stage and back again indefinitely. The Turritopsis nutricula is a small jellyfish with an ability so far unique in the animal kingdom. It is the only known jellyfish to have developed the ability to return to a polyp state. Or basically, reverse its life cycle, then grow up again. This process allows the jellyfish to bypass death. In fact, there may be no natural limit to its life span. The process is called transdifferentiation.

I was wondering of there's an age restriction to this show?
Msg from Abeo: The performance will not be suitable for under 12’s.

We were lucky enough to see Infamous last night and hubby thought this particular show was the best tour so far. We usually spend the car ride home discussing what we’ve experienced and how Derren fooled us but this show is so cleverly put together we were stumped as to how a lot of things could possibly be achieved.
Derren was on top form never missing a beat, he’s always had the talent and ability to entertain his audience but this show will emotionally engage you from the very beginning …you just can’t help but be moved by some of the things he does and says……I’m not going to say anymore as Derren always asks us to “keep the show’s content a secret” and I would hate to spoil it for other people especially as Derren’s performance always stays with me long after the show has “ left town” and I know a lot of people feel the same way.
@ Robert Perkins …yep I agree…we had to resort to eBay this year but I’m so glad we did ….it was well worth it. Have you tried to get tickets for London? Compared to some of the ebay prices it may work out cheaper.
We both fell in love with Oxford by the way…awesome place beautiful atmosphere.

Good to see Derren and Andy on a project together again. Anyone know if it will it be filmed (for those of us not in the UK)?

This is going to be special, mark my words (not like the other ones weren't) get in fast. You'll be infamous.

Have they started to inject monkeys with it yet?
Jellyfish have all the luck.
I need it to bite me like the spider from spider-man, then I will be jelly-man and able to turn into a baby in dangerous occasions.
Amazing. So could the biological structure be cloned and used on humans? Eternal life? Creepy.
Most probably this information was gleamed from this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/rachel_sussman_the_world_s_oldest_living_things.html
for humans, i can imagine it being quite painful, having bones and all that… but still Jelly-man COOL AS!
Heard about this on QI. As Queen once said, “Who wants to live forever?”
Wow, now that is just COOOOOOL!
