I have been watching all of the Derren Brown shows again! They are all fantastic ( Seance proper freaked me out too, it all worked!) but Investigates is brilliant because it brings people the truth, and Derren has such a way with people to try to understand them and listen, and then at the end analyse everything instead of going ‘ this is rubbish’ from the start. Amazing man.

Also I am going to see ‘Enigma’ tomorrow in Salford and I am soooooooooo excited! I hope I get picked to go onstage or he is doing a signing!!!!!!

Love you Derren!

I watched the programme and i agree it made Joe look bad. The trips to the toilet looked very suss. I didnt feel he gave anywhere near enough information to the people he was reading, most mediums give a lot more.
A point i would like to make however, as i am a medium myself, is that most mediums enter into this work as a direct result of a powerful personal experience. They do not sit in the schools career office and think its a great way to make money. The majority of us totally believe in everything we say and do. Of course you will always get scammers in any field but do not judge us all by this programme. I have given readings that have astounded myself, not to mention my sitters. If we did not work well and convince people we would not be recommended to others.

Here’s a thought. These so called mediums often throw out names which someone in the room will connect to. If a group of people from say eastern Europe was asembled where the names of their family members would not be common names, the “medium” would get miss after miss and fail miserably.

Some of the people I work with claim to hear voices from the dead too… unfortunately they’re not psychic but psychotic…

To people suggesting that there should have been a camera laden house set up and so forth. I got the feeling watching that, not only would this have been prohibitively expensive for a low budget show, but that Derren was making a real effort to give Joe every chance to succeed. Loading the dice, so to speak, would only have added fuel to the inevitable fire of Joe’s counter claims.

He mentions a letter from March 26th that vindicates his claim to have informed the director. Does anyone have a link to this letter? As Joe did not provide any visible link that I could readily see.

Does Lee work for Lime productions? Is he suggesting a conspiracy with Hollyoaks to frame him? Why would they bother?

He lied on the show about what Derren had earlier said about meeting Pam.

Good job Derren.

Finally got to watch my recording of Derren’s programme. Of course Joe Power’s going to say he’s legit otherwise there’d be a stampede from all his past clients wanting their money back!

Derren, you’re turning into another James Randi but I see that as a good thing. Like you, I’d love proof that there”s an”afterlife” – wish you could’ve done a programme with Doris Stokes – that would have been an interesting one!

I have also got some psychic ability’s and i can tell Joe Power’s that i can sense that his career is coming to an end very soon!!!

Oh excuse me i just need to pop to your toilet first so i can go through your room’s and gather some information first!

After reading Joe\’s rebuttal, he is quite an intelligent man.

The thing about his sister and what he claims that the Director knew, could the Director of the program comment on this? It is all about credibility in this day and age, so does Joe have some credibility left? Could we get a comment from the Director if this is true or not?

He also mentions his \”act\” and how it comforts people. It is true, as Derren said in the program, if people feel better is it really wrong? (imo – only if you pay) We all like to be comforted and feel good about things. It is Human Nature.

Also on his website I like the fact you can call him for £1.50, as it states \”a minute Live readings are for entertainment purposes only and cost £1.50 per minute\”

The operative words being \”Entertainment Purposes

The guy just uses the electoral register to find details of the subject. you can find bith and death details of people easily via websites such as http://www.192.com/people/search/ and all you goto do is make up a story. thats the reason he got it all wrong on the second one, as he had researched a diffrent address.

Also as you can buy census details which are registered at your local council every 10 years or so, its can be used to minupulate when someone moved out of that address and what age they were. its similar to what we all know as Identity theft teqniques. with a lot of cold reading old fake psychic methods.

his sister would’ve told him about the soup claim. also he wont admit the mini witness claim.

All fake..
