Derren Brown: Miracle

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.

I am not Christian and I think most reviewers are biased. The man helped me get rid of so many superstitions added to my religion Islam. He revealed the tricks that the so-called healers use to rip people off. The message is loud and clear: Go seek a doctor if you are sick . Choose to believe in a God or not is your own choice . Leave the miracles out of it. I loved the show a lot and I strongly recommend it for the open-minded people. For those who chose to put their heads in the ground and accepted religion as the answer for everything, this show will not make them at ease.

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...

I enjoy most magic shows/ films, but, Derren seemed to just stretch very basic tricks into 10-20 minute presentations.

The way he presented himself on stage and how he treated the audience was extremely annoying, also.

I'd give this one a miss.
