Derren Brown

Derren Brown (born 27 February 1971) is an English mentalist, illusionist, and writer.

His live performances, which incorporate audience participation and comedy, often include statements describing how his effects are achieved through a combination of psychology, showmanship, magic, misdirection, and suggestion. Brown began performing in 1992, making his television debut with Mind Control (2000). Read more on Wikipedia
