Derren Brown: Miracle

I've seen all of his shows, but in this one he seemed a bit out of ideas. The tricks were mostly simple and easy to decipher. Most of the time he'll be building up and building up and... building up, just to show a disappointing finale.

Maybe I expected more from him, but I really didn't enjoy anything from this show. It was basically him trying really hard to get everyone in the same state of mind, just to show of some lazy simple street-art trick.

I rate this a 2 / 10 just for his effort / energy.

Illusionist Derren Brown reinvents the concept of "faith healing" through a series of skills that demystify the boundaries of fear, pain and disbelief. Illusionist Derren Brown creates daring social experiments to demonstrate how manipulation can lead a normal person to commit shocking acts.

I am very intrigued by this documentary and this illusionist, he said a very interesting phrase, advice from the Roman philosopher Epictetus, we only have control over two things our actions and our thoughts... I was left with a post-documentary hybrid feeling, between disbelief and faith... I know the power of mental capacity, but I'm quite absurd for him to "guess" what people will think...

First let me say you can ignore all of the negative reviews because they're obviously left by people who are too cowardly to come right out and say, "I don't like it when people make me question my faith."

Yes, it's a slow-paced show, but that's because he's taking his time to demonstrate each point he has to make.

Derren's specialty is making you think. If you're not comfortable with that concept, none of his shows are for you.

Very similar to his previous show on British TV. It even brings less to the table with its short playtime. You can savely skip this if you have seen his earlier "miracle" shows.

Having recently discovered Darren brown, I enjoyed the show. This is one of the first magic shows I have ever watched.

We all know magic is an illusion. We all are tempted to outsmart the magician and have an answer to how it happened.

For me it's less about the magic, it's obviously intriguing and entertaining but it's more about DARREN BROWN THE PERSONALITY. How well he articulates, how he thinks, The voice, the words makes sense (to me).

Perhaps, for the people who wrote a negative review, the show seemed repetitive which is the case most of the times as you have higher expectations from the man having known him before.
