Its about DARREN BROWN THE PERSONALITY.

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.

Good...

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...

10min per trick (75 min for 8 tricks)

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.

Goofs
Derren references the unbroken genetic chain from the people sitting in the audience all the way back to the first single-celled organism "seven billion years ago."

Single-celled organisms didn't evolve until 3.5 billion years ago, and, in fact, the Earth itself didn't form until 4.5 billion years ago.

Quotes
Derren Brown: This is the one life and the one body we have. We can tell ourselves a different story about it at least.
Derren Brown: We can be kinder to ourselves and therefore to others as well because we are all doing it.
Derren Brown: We're all telling ourselves those unhelpful stories, all of us.
Derren Brown: Everyone you meet is dragging around their own heavy case of bricks.
Derren Brown: What's important though is to mentally stop time and return to that present moment and how we're treating ourselves and each other in the moment.
Derren Brown: Because it's only the present moment that has the power to be utterly compelling and rich and vibrant as if that moment were you're first.
Derren Brown: Or as if it were you last.
Derren Brown: You are the miracle!
