know, these things come whenever they do, there is no set time nor knowing if you will get another one again, or even if indeed it is “Psyhich ability” it might well be something else that just has not name for all I know. But, still, how can you try to test something you don’t know may never occur again in your life? I understand what you are saying though and very much agree with your viewpoint.

One thing I had forseen years ago saved my own life at the time, which is a prime example of A: How no money would be involved B: How there would be no cold reading or hot reading either. I know some things happen that are unexaplainable yes, but I have had quite a few experiences throughout my life of different things of this nature, which cannot be explained, and when you have “Apparant Psychics” like this that go around frauding people it makes a person even more annoyed. I know the phrase open-minded is totally overused, I totally get what you are saying, still, I am just that, I don’t ignore science and I dont ignore facts presented and evidence shown, I am not delusional, and if anything wish there to be some kind of test to show its real, but as I myself

Brilliant article Derren, I agree with you about the whole show thing and paid “apparant pyshics” going round doing this to people to be sketchy to say the least! However, I have had personal experiences with things, that i have forseen, which have never involved money, cold reading or hot reading, and in many of these experiences it would be totally inpossible for that to have occured anyway. I only wish there was a way to prove unexplained things of this nature. The problem I find, is these “apparant Psychics” that do all this and ask for money for it and faud people get on my wick even more so because I know the real stuff I have experienced and it makes it even more frustrating for someone like myself.

My step mother is into psychic stuff (along with a lot of other unproven stuff) and she actually thinks Derren Brown is pyschic, as he knows so much and reads people so well. Ironic!

Derren a shaman? Yes, even they use tricks to create the right atmosphere for inducing magic, in the same way that doctors create right conditions for healing.

As an experiment, why doesn’t Daring Derren, take (wired up / monitored ) subjects to a sleep centre and attempt to wake them or alter their brain wave patterns, through pure will ( No touching, no sounds). It could also be broken up into light and heavy sleepers, for more interest.

“There’s being open-minded and there’s being so open minded that your brain falls out.” Made me chuckle!
