1. Will do 🙂
2. so even the suit is an illusion!
3. Well regardless of it being a Burton suit, you still look very dashing Derren 🙂
   xx
4. And I always assumed those lightning bolts eminating from your fingers were magical powers… not polyester static.
   I feel totally cheated now.
   PS. Is this the same trick the evil Emporor uses in Star Wars… Just wearing a dralon gown and shuffling across a nylon carpet on the Death Star? This is just pants…
5. I’m sure you too will carry it off with your usual debonair, suave sophisticaton. 🙂

   *resists urge to do sophistication joke*
6. Sabina – What’s the sophistication joke?
7. ha ha 🙂
8. Knee-high thermal socks. How very dapper 😉
9. Snap. The knee high thermal socks, not the cheap Burtons suit.
10. I be sure to listen for that ‘sshh’ sound then 😉
11. Flapjack, does this mean he can now do this?

    He was disturbing enough before with the whole creeping up on people and putting cats in boxes. Now he is going to creep up on people and shock the hell out of them?
12. SGC – Well it involves misdirection and polyester… I think he was already halfway there!
13. I like a lot of Burton suits. But none of them sit right on me. It’s a shame. Damn my Latissimus Dorsi and Trapezius muscles! *mutters darkly*
14. There ought to be a law about it. Shuffling around Battersea shocking helpless passers-by, indeed. I disapprove! Just look at that picture, he’s staring off to the side at some passer-by, I expect, just judging the distance and how much static he can build up. You can see it in his eyes.
15. Well if you decide to wear it in the uk we’ll hear you approaching! 😉 It does look very very nice on you. 🙂 xxxx
16. Wouldn’t have guessed it was a Burton suit from the photo, but will keep the sshh sound and socks in mind heh.
17. Who cares what they’re wearing on Main Street or Savile Row?

18. Cute!

    I’ve also noticed these Derren emoticons which are just as cute!

    🙂 😉 :O
19. SGC – Yep, he’s a walking Van Der Graf generator. I always thought if I met Derren on the street I’d want to shake his hand, but not any more! Do you think it’s his way of keeping his legions of fans at a distance?
20. You’d want to shake his hand? Don’t the 7 safety tips I read ages ago advise keeping well out of arm’s-range? You have to be careful, Flapjack. We don’t want to lose you.
    That’s a good idea, though. If we patented it, we could sell it to people like Britney. A quick shuffle, and the swarm of fans is zapped back several feet. We could make a fortune.
21. SGC – personally I think it’s surplus to requirements… Derren could convince any one of us that we’d just been zapped with or without static charges from a cheap Burton suit.
    Give a man a Milgram machine and it gives him ideas…
22. For all the muddiness and strange wardrobe requirements, I must say that’s a lovely location. Got that post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland vibe going on. Nice and dark. (Nooo, I’m totally not into cyberpunk/cybergoth… I deny everything! *grins*)
23. Sure, he doesn’t need it, but think of the celebrities and political figures who could benefit. This could be an awesome security feature that could make us millions. We’ll be set for life. Katherine can write the poetry to advertise it, you can create it and I’ll make the coffee and come up with more wild and crazy schemes. Once again, this blog has given us an awesome way to get rich quick.
    Also, about that Milgram experiment, this is how my usual impression of it goes:
    “I’m Derren Brown! Hey, check it out, a disturbing experiment with a lot of ethical issues! They’d never let this happen nowadays! Let’s replicate it and see what happens!”
    Bless. He’s such a little keener. I shudder to think what he’s doing in this Event thing.
24. Damn, what a glamorous lifestyle. Mud, cheap suits and knee high thermal socks. We all wish we were living a life of such luxury. ;D
25. It’s the person that makes or breaks a suit IMO. Some people can wear suits that cost thousands yet still manage to make it look cheap.
26. lol Dez, even your cheap suit tells you to shut up. You should be thankful Netto dont sell suits or you’d be wearing one from there. Netto – its Scandanavian for value.
27. If Derren you ever should meet,
    Take care of your hands and your feet
    It’ll be automatic
    One zap from that static
    And the photos will end up in Heat!
28. Holy crap, Katherine, you’re a machine. Can you do one about replicating creepy psych experiments?
29. That location is very interesting hmm…

    You still look very fine in your Burtons suit Derren and as far as the thermal socks are concerned…good for you. Clearly, you are a prudent dresser, unlike me. I’m suffering with a stiff neck/shoulder because (as usual) my vanity prevented me from wearing something ‘sensible’ when I knew I would be sitting in a draughty room.

    Just read about the London run…..’Enigma’ sounds exciting…..just cant wait, only six weeks away for us…
30. once again, lol to Flapjack… Knee high thermals… Hot…
31. Katherine – OK, limericks are one way of expressing it in verse… but how about haikus? I challenge you to express all that stuff you said in your limerick in Haiku form… let’s see what you’re made of!
32. OK… here’s my attempt at a static-electric themed haiku. I think it needs some work. (SGC- Work with me here, I’m just thinking of breaking into the Japanese market!)

    Cheap polyester,
    The shock transmits from finger,
    To Derren’s parrot.
33. Flapjack: Have just taken a very quick crash course on Haiku on a site which quaintly titles itself “In the moonlight a worm……”. First attempt, here goes:

    Hello to Derren
    Burton suit static shocking
    It is the Event

    Difficult to be humorous in haiku but if you can do better…..

    SGC: I am exhausted now with all this effort so the Milgram thing may just have to wait until another day.
34. Thistooshallpass: :London run? There’s nothing about that in the Tour section. Am I missing something here?

    Flapjack: Love the haiku! Limerick, haiku… what other commercially-suited (pun not intended at first…) verse forms are there? I suppose a sonnet would be somewhat too lengthy.
35. Katherine – i think you’re right. Haikus don’t really allow space for an amusing one-liner, even though you get 3 lines to do them in. Maybe SGC can do better…
36. I do love haikus.

    Sloshing through the mud
    Wait, what was that sudden zap?
    damn, it’s Derren Brown!
37. Give me a subject! Any subject!

    Oh look, a kitten.
    Wait, it’s wired up to WHAT?
    What is wrong with you???
38. Berber Anna – Are you suggesting this…
    “A Shakespearean, or English sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line contains ten syllables, and each line is written in iambic pentameter in which a pattern of a non-emphasized syllable followed by an emphasized syllable is repeated five times. The rhyme scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG in which the last two lines are a rhyming couplet.”

    That will take some work…
39. SGC – we have a winner! Double points for gratuitous kitten abuse.
40. Zombie shooter games
    Are more risky than you think
    Watch for Derren Brown.

    He needs to give us marketing jobs.
41. @ Berber Anna: London run?

    See here:

    “Tickets, which go on sale March 12, can be booked via the box office at 0844 579 0090 by visiting http://www.seetickets.com. “
42. SCG/Flapjack: If we want those jobs we need to start working on stuff containing the word “Enigma”. Must go and look up what iambic pentameter means.
43. Flapjack: Well, yeah, or you could try the Petrarchan sonnet, which is the original version, I believe. Hey, be glad I didn’t say ‘epos’… 😛

    Michelle: I already googled it (should’ve done so before asking, sorry), but thanks for the link anyway 🙂
44. What is Enigma?
    No doubt it will be insane!
    Get your tickets now.
45. Hm. Awaiting moderation again… apparently, even smileys with a dash for a nose do that to one’s posts. Ah well, I shall express my frustration in haiku form:

    Moderation queue
    For using creepy smileys
    Those pictures scare me!
46. Off to see Watchmen
    Fear not, blog comment pals
    More haikus later!
47. Watchmen surely rocks
    I must go see it soon, too
    But that’s off-topic.
48. Berber Anna,
    GREAT FILMS to be released soon- Sunshine Cleaning, The Great Norman Howard, Gomorrah……..

    back on topic…..there is nothing wrong with burtons, or thermal underwear………LMAO!
49. Watchmen was epic.
    As epic as Enigma?
    I highly doubt that.

    The Event should rock
    Cheap polyester or not
    Thermal socks are great.
50. Watchmen was fine
    Apart from the slo-mo bits
    And abscence of squid
