Man really? I would love x-ray vision. To be able to see girls naked everywhere I go would be a real treat! Where do I sign up?
Can’t wait to see it, I really enjoyed the first program, very interesting indeed
NeXT time you visit Holland, call me! Good kick whit THE show!
Hi Derren,
really enjoyed your first program and the sensitive way you actually confronted him. However, he was a bit of a soft target, and floundered very easily. I would be fascinated to see you investigate psychics such as John Edward, who have apparrently performed well under the sort of rigorous scientific controls you suggested in your program ie no direct contact with the person they are reading.
Keep up the interesting work!
Regards Peter.
I found it one of the most interesting things I had heard about. Not that I believe it but I do see some points in there .. that got me triggered. I’m quite curious to find out what Brown and Dunk their thoughts are on this method. Although, any method will take quite some time to sink in in someone I guess ..
Anyhow, I’m quite interested to read about the background of this method. But I think I’m going to be disappointed. Although I don’t doubt that a few on this planet do have other brains (or better said, had to use their brain in a different way), I’m also sure that the reason that they are kinda forced in this other way of using also leads me to belief that it cant be done by volunteers. You would have to change everything. Body wont cope. And the younger the students, the better.
Derren Brown WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!!!!

Really interested to see how this one pans out, I’ve heard lots about extra haptic perception but I’m assuming this is some sort of “Psychic” technique. I’d like to think that there was some truth in it but I suspect that by Monday evening I’ll still be a blind sceptic.
I have always enjoyed what Derren does but this program was a cut above the rest. Magicians and mentalists are the best placed people to aproach this sort of subject matter due to the nature of their work, they know how to deceive people and so also know how to spot when others are being deceitful. Hats off to you derren I can’t wait to watch the x-ray eyes episode tonight to see how you aproach it.
I wonder how it feels when you use their techique. Whether you are seeing it inside of yourself or more as if in someone else (as if you’re really travelling toward the other. Maybe a combination, and it might not feel the same for all people). Is it really different than what someone who calls him/herself a psychic does ‘sense’ about someone else’s health?
I think it’s not all a new technique .. there are lots of theories/methods which use a similar system, although surrounded with different thoughts/visions/ideas.
I myself do have some experience with going inside of my own body and check certain parts via another brain structure/system/self .. I could not keep it up longer than a few secs but experienced something in there which made me wonder .. if some1 could keep it up ..
Hi,
I am one of your forever fan Mr. Brown. I have been listening all those bullsh** from people who say they can help healing illnesses such as cancer, stroke, etc. Many vulnerable people fall into the trap and become victims. I think it is not fair. My boyfriend is one of them who believes in things which cannot be proved by science just like those victims. I tried to prove to him that there is no such a thing like what he said but we always ended up having big arguments.
Thank you for openning his eyes even though he still thinks some of it is real!
Love watching the program and will be your fan forever!

It was about approaching the subjects sceptically in the true sense and being open
to evidence that the investigate the claims made by Bronnikov, he is also another fraud
taking advantage from blind and disable people.
It’s amazing the skill the portrait of Rufus Wainwright, Derren is working on without
looking photos but just his memory in Oxford, mascara in stained rivers down his face
almost if it were still part of the pformance. He puts the principle of remote viewing the
ability to see and describe the things, what he does is beyond everyones comprehension.
Look forward to seeing him again soon.
All the best and lots of love xx
