My grandad used to pull this trick. Compared to what real magicians can pull off at even a beginner level this an easy trick. Having studied som of derrens tricks it's taken me 2 years to get them off and even them I still dint get them as finessed. I like this sort of pop magic that everyone can do it a lot of fun and means I have tricks to teach kids when they pester me as to how something is done and get anoyed when I don't. Oh cmon.

I'm attending the National Pawnbrokers Convention in Las Vegas right now and was able for the first time see in person some "illussions" simaliar to what Derren has performed on some of the TV shows broadcast here in the Usa. I mentioned to the guy that I had been "following" Derren Brown (just online and this blog, not In person) and that I was/am intrigued with the way that Derren is able to read facial ticks, body language etc. Finally being able to see a act in person and getting to be able to be picked to be in one of the examples makes interested in finding out if Derren ever has plans on coming to the USA for a show like he does on your side of the "pond"?

But I can hardly believe scientists would fall for a trick I remember learning from a kid's magic video when I was 11 or so... I wonder if that honestly happened, or if it's just a fun anecdote Randi made up to illustrate his point. Haha, love the surprise ending!
