Derren Brown

Derren's act is 45 - 50 minutes of mind-reading and psychological manipulation, full of audience participation and sharp humour. He begins by making the whole audience stand and works with them as a whole, whittling them down through a psychological game to the least malleable of the group. Starting with one of these ‘challengers', he then chooses his volunteers on an individual basis as he goes along (Derren will always check first with the client in case any guests would be inappropriate to call up).

The first volunteer forms the framework of the show, as they gamble light-heartedly in a game of wits with Derren throughout the act and try to win a sizeable chunk of money. Volunteers are invited onto his stage to experience his ‘mind-reading' and a series of stunning games and displays. He does not hypnotise them, yet the show is a jaw-dropping display of influence and unconscious control - a sort of psychological magic show.

The finish is a high-energy and hugely surprising finale using a random guest from the back of the room. The precise content of the show will vary from show to show, depending on Derren's volunteers, but he is charming, funny and respectful; as well as being a very talented performer who ensures the audience are left amazed and with lots to eagerly talk about.

Many thanks for liaising with Derren and helping to sort out yesterday evening's event. I am reliably informed that everyone was "blown away", and have heard words bandied about like "amazing", "fantastic", "unbelievable". All in all, a great success.
Please pass on the group's appreciation to Derren.

DERREN AT GEOFORUM
Just wanted to share with you the excellent evaluation received from SCO after Derren's cabaret. The client said that "Derren was excellent, extremely well received and a pleasure to deal with. He was extremely entertaining and he captivated the audience. He was perfect for the event and bonded well with the audience and everybody was still talking about the performance afterwards. Spot on"

Kate Andrews also said she wanted me to pass on their appreciation of Derren and his assistant James. She said: "It was a pleasure with them and I shan't hesitate to recommend Derren for other events."
