Derren Brown on Wikipedia
Derren Victor Brown (born 27 February 1971) is an English magician, illusionist, mentalist, painter and sceptic. He was born in Croydon, South London, educated at Whitgift School, where his father coached swimming, and studied Law and German at the University of Bristol. While there, he attended a show by the hypnotist Martin Taylor, which inspired him to turn to illusion and hypnosis as a career. Whilst an undergraduate, he started working as a conjuror, practising the traditional skills of close-up magic. In 1992, he started performing stage hypnosis shows at the University of Bristol under the stage name Darren V. Brown.
Brown has also given performances relating to mind-reading. Shortly after, he was commissioned to do a pilot for his Channel 4 television series, Mind Control. Much of his work is written in collaboration with Andy Nyman.

Hi, nice to see how you both like Derren Brown and want to explain his tricks to others too. I think he is really great and disserves a lot of buzz on the web.
I, myself am a NLP coach and have studied his videos and wrote some articles on how he does his tricks, and how to use these techniques as a professional coach. Perhaps you like my site and want to add a link to your great lens.
Kind regards
Anneke Walraven
