Trick of the Mind


Derren Brown is a British psychological illusionist, mentalist, artist, painter, writer, skeptic and television presenter. He is well known around the world for his ability to read people’s minds. However Derren Brown frequently states that he possesses no psychic or paranormal abilities. He uses his knowledge and skills through which he is able to influence people’s thoughts through subtle suggestion, and read body language or psychological signs that indicate what a person is feeling or thinking. He is what is known as a “modern day magician” because he is able to do some things that people would believe to be ‘magical’. In some of his TV specials he manipulates the mind in ways the subjects could never imagine. For example he trained the minds of four average people to rob a person carrying money from a bank. 3 of the 4 people were successfully manipulated to take the briefcase whereas one managed to control the urges of wanting to take the money. He is able to read body language like a person can read a book with really large print. This man truly has a talent that the world really admires. He is a true magician.
