Question: “Who is the Magician Derren Brown?”
Why Do I Care: A British friend in Koh Phangan told me of this magician/hypnotist who is popular in Britain. I had never heard of him. Amazed, my friend told me to catch some of the You Tube clips, especially one called Zombie
Answer: Derren Brown is a magician, hypnotist, illusionist, mentalist, and a few more things says Wikipedia. He’s had a bunch of TV shows and stage shows. I watched the clip Zombie where he hypnotizes a guy playing a staged video game, then takes him unconsciously to a warehouse where he wakes up in the “real” video game. He’s pretty freaked out. Good viewing.
Conclusion: Well, it was cool. I like magic mixed with psychology and that’s just what he’s done. I plan on checking out some of the other clips sometime.
