TED Talk ~ Derren Brown
Derren Brown gave his first-ever TED talk in April this year, at TED2019 in the Vancouver Convention Centre, Canada.
“Magic is a great analogy for how we edit reality and form a story — and then mistake that story for the truth,” Derren told a packed-out audience, in ‘Mentalism, mind reading and the art of getting inside your head’ – a talk which explores the seductive appeal of finding simple answers to life’s complex and subtle questions.

Hi ，I’m your fan in China
Spellbinding and quite frankly, a tad scary. Looking forward to seeing you live for the first time in 2020.
Do you believe in reiki
Derren is a learner of atention and emotions plus system thinking….
and he is an amazing human being…not done yet.
If I am ever asked “who, past or present, would you like to sit on a park bench and chat with for half an hour” the answer would definitely be Derrin Brown, I’m really looking forward to seeing you live at the Orchard in April.
Magical 😏
I’m 29 years old and I’ve been watching Derren Brown with curious fascination since I was around 8-9… “Trick Of The Mind”…
He instilled a love of learning human behavior that lead to so many passions of mine. Including; Body language, Criminology and super market layouts.
Lol.
Still one of my favorite people ever.
Hi, Derren
Love u! I’ve been your fan a couple of years! hopefully, I will come to your show this year!!
I love these comments.. 🤣🤣
I only knew you excisted since the day before yesterday, but you gave so much to me already. I can’t find the right words, but you really inspire people.
If you ever need a protégé, i’ll be waiting for that day! It will be slightly better than a Hogwarts letter ;p
Greetings from the Netherlands!
How did the woman get the microphone so quickly?
One of the greatest mentalists of all time. Annemann could learn from you.!
Brilliant! Captivating. Funny! At times it feels like we live in one of your simulations with the whole pandemic. One must question…
I got pulled over on my way home last night. After the two of us exchanged pleasantries, the cop, oddly enough, spontaneously offered a series of mental challenges. The first few were easy enough (i.e., say (NOT sing!) the alphabet, stand on one foot, compliment my outfit), so I felt rather good about myself. Then he hit me with, “How many fingers am I holding up?” I immediately noted his rather clumsy effort to prime me by holding up three fingers while issuing this challenge, so clearly, the correct answer wasn’t going to be three. While tallying the sum of fingers held aloft, making sure not to count the thumb, I noticed that his head was tilted slightly to the left and remembered how he’d subtly puckered his lips several times throughout our exchange! He wanted a kiss on his left cheek!!
“Eleventeen” I whispered, and gently kissed his left cheek.
I write to you from the public computer in the county jail to ask – how many times did he hit me in the face? Also, how much money would I like to borrow for bail?
