Derren Brown Svengali

Derren Brown is totally charming, disarmingly ordinary and seemingly honest, well as honest as one can expect an accomplished magician and mind manipulator to be. The new show is gripping and at over three hours never flags, in fact time simply flew as he astonished us with his ability to tell us what we do, predict what we might do and even physically control what we do with our bodies, yes utterly weird and totally wonderful. To describe the show would ruin it for future audiences but simply be prepared to be amazed, and to fall in love with this very charismatic man who live is far less sinister than he is on TV.
