The thing is it's not magic as in dundeons and dragons and turning lead into gold- it's trickery. I think if u asked any magician they would tell u that's wot it is.
I agree with cookiemonster- if it were all real magicians would have better things to do than make TV shows!
A lot of magic is just very clever camera work.
It's like acting- people act to entertain and make money- well i think that's the same for magicians...

she is merely 'thumping' Harry Potter' not worshipping him...

Nah ah ah ah! David Blaine has a supernatural gift

Mr Fun:

so why have you that fruity harry potter bloke on the screen?

because I like the HP books...
Doesn't mean I have to believe in magic. It's just a good read.

(And 'fruity'? Gaah...)

lets see...BOLLOCKS

*to mr.fun*

In my own personal opinion, David Blaine is a tw*t!

Mr Fun:

Nah ah ah ah! David Blaine has a supernatural gift

if you say so...

thanks jay86...i agree

Blaine is odd

Mr Fun:

Nah ah ah ah! David Blaine has a supernatural gift

Because he sat in a box for 40 days? Wow. That guy MUST have magic powers. How else could he have conjured a crowd of Londoners to stare at some boring idiot sitting in a box?

Right, I know i keep trying to re-awaken Derren Threads but this time i have a reason....
I'm off to see him live again in April!!
As I now reside in Liverpool, I'm off to see him at the Empire there. got amazing seats, AGAIN central 3rd row AGAIN. Prob won't get picked for audience participation so close to the front but i'll get to see everything clearly....
Goin wit a mate from Uni... so excited- roll on April!

I like the way he shows how easily people can be manipulated, the secence thing was really good, he showed how guillible people are!

Did anyone (from the UK i guess) watch his new show? (How to Win the Lottery)

I knew we'd never eally find out how he had predited the lotto numbers! The reaction I have read online has been stupid though and quite cleary some people have never seen his shows before.

He has never claimed to be a magican, but he uses showmanship etc instead. People are so stupid if they seriously thought they'd be told how to win the lottery!!

Yes I saw it, and luckily I have seen him live myself so I know how he works so I knew we would never really find out how he did it. I have spoken to people who actually think he is some kind of magician, bless.

He is brilliant at what he does.

Did anyone watch Derren Brown this week? I wondered if his trick worked and you weren't able to get up from your seat?

Sadly it didn't work on me

I only watched the sticking to your seat one yesterday and no it didn't work on me, and we were just watching a white screen weren't we?!

Yes it was just a white screen, I found it very bright and had to keep blinking.

I've just watched last weeks where you had to guess the picture that had been drawn. But I never guessed right.
