Derren Brown Discusses His MIND-BLOWING New Special | Derren Brown: Showman | Channel 4 

I watched your show on Channel 4 tonight and it really hit home. I lost my Mum to Covid and all the things you spoke about, not being able to with her, not being able to give her a proper send off truly resonated with me. The ending was just so lovely and poignant it made me cry which is something I don't do easily. Wonderful that you're able to that for your Dad. 🎉

Fantastic show. I was pulled up on stage in Nottingham for the Father Son, balloon, teddy part of the show. It truly was an unforgettable experience. We also got to meet him after the show back stage which was a dream come true for me as I’ve been watching him for over twenty years and read several of his books. So just wanted to say, Thank you, Derren. PS - The ending of this show is my favourite of all of your shows. So poignant.

Just watched……..BRILLIANT 👌🏽

I watched this at home and was crying at the end. An absolutely amazing show and such a lovely tribute to his dad!

Such an amazing showman, I have seen him live twice and I am amazed how he just commands his audience

Such a good show, I actually went back the next day to see it a 2nd time to try and work out how he did things. I also timed the lapses. Such a great showman. 👍

I Saw Showman Live In Norwich & I Still Don't Know How He Did Some Of The Tricks & In A Weird Way I Don't Wanna Know

I have loved Derren Browns work since the first days of "trick of the mind." Such a brilliant man, and he has made my life so much better with his skills... the power of the mind is amazing and this man has shown me so much untapped potential within myself. Easiest example i can give you, his book chapter on memory has made my brain 10 times more effecient at remembering lists or numbers. Another example is his book on Happiness has enhanced my mental fortitude to uncomfortable situations. Honestly, this man and Duncan Trussell are my best role models in life. I love these guys...

Just watched it, fucking brilliant Derren!

What an amazing show Derren. ❤You had me in tears 😢 My deepest condolences about your precous Dad, also such a beautiful ending for your precious Dad. ❤ I have you on my bucket list. I honestly hope to see you soon. Much love from Bonnie Scotland. ❤🕊

Just watched it, and another brilliant performance from Derren

I think I know how part of it was done and it relied on the man with the cap in the audience not reading the bank note numbers before he surrendered it. That was absolutely key. For the note was switched with a note they already had, one which had as few different numbers as possible (they had £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes at the ready). The woman on stage had been briefed while under hypnosis beforehand that: "The £5 note numbers are 0, 2, 6." Same with the other denominations. That's why she didn't read out the entire number consecutively. She was blindfolded before being handed the board, which already had the numbers on them (different board for different denominations). The pen she was handed did not write. There was no way she wrote those numbers in the time available or in that haphazard way. The die trick probably involved a magnetic strip and the magnet was switched on before the sixth roll of it - hence Derren asking for a "dramatic pause". The man with his son wrote three things about him and put it in an envelope (note how things always go in envelopes or bags). This was secretly opened and read by a backstager who created the rosette which was surreptitiously pinned to the teddy bear.

Oh, I hope "Showman" is coming to Netflix soon here in the U.S. I've been following what Derren does since the beginning, such a huge inspiration to me!

We are born alone and will die alone perhaps that’s all we have is ourselves great show

What happened to Jake? After the other 3 got sent back down. Derren put him to sleep and laid him down on the ground. It then cut to commercial but when it came back Derren moved onto something else

Took my grandson to this show in Manchester. We was both blown away.

Brilliant show 👏 👌 👍 Well done derren❤

I absolutely loved this show, especially the philosophical and emotional themes, and the way you approached them. Your honesty and compassion are a valuable part of what you do. Congratulations on a great production, Derren.

Without a doubt the best magician I've seen - both entertaining and informative, really love what he is doing.

It was a great show at The Lowry. Have seen all his live shows once.

I have seen the show before. I went for one of his shows live (once) and it turned out to be CATS, I was a week early. I deliberately went to two live shows. The script seems the same. Once I went in one city and then went to another. Then it was on TV I thought somewhere else and the interactions were identical and seemed word perfect. How do I know if the TV version was the one I witnessed? I accept I have, er, navigation problems of time, space, memory and awareness. If Derren is doing 350 shows my explanation for those that were identical, er, accepting they were not the same one of two or three then more people should go to more shows in the same series to see if the audience all react in the same way. Then the only magic I could suggest is that not only are the audience following the same responses but Derren is receiving the same scripting. I dunno. I'm 67 now and life is what it is. Obviously I have written emails and tweets about this problem, 3 a day of each since 2009. The good news is that in 2015 my last psychiatrist burst in on the newest one he said to the guy, " is he still aware". 20,000 emails, some websites and tweets (as beachhutman) have had the hospital say time to stop, you have done enough. Yet my tweets are now worth "millions" according to a USA Major whom a Captain has said is now compromised. Between Derren Brown, not keeping a diary or a calendar or making systematic recordings, I am left to my own devices. But, hey, I get a PIP at the near maximum rate and can cock a snoot at anyone from the safety of my own home where as a lone nut researcher I am gathering other peoples tweets to augment my own. I have never been so productive and deserving of my beachhutman tweets going viral. Tim Baber Also I have made some scoops as I have library and journalistic training, but it is a bit of a fugue to escape the gaps in what is a mobius strip of evidence which is against the odds. It is helpful that Derren is a good stage manager so that any deviousness is not too apparent. Heh?

Watched it last night it was brill. i really need to try and see derren live one day its deffently better in person. also really hope he starts doing stuff on tv again really loved the heist and all of his other shows would love for him to start doing shows like that again

Saw him a few weeks ago and again last night, incredible

Features the Monty Hall Problem! Great show

Hello Derren and fans - I lost my dad when I was 26 in 1977. We never appeared to be close but we loved each other as we made comments like you mentioned "Don't lean back on the chair'. He left my life, but he has never left my heart, and watching you last night I had a 'bit of dirt in my eye', even more so for the young man who lost his nan, I lost mine when I was 12. i had one close friend who died of Covid-19 but it was pretty quick and I never knew until after he had gone as he lived over a hundred miles away. What I will say, not wishing to upset anybody, is that I would have definitely gone to see my friend no matter what the rules stated. Who was going to stop me, or thousands like me? Nurses and doctors were far too busy and they don't have many security guards wandering about the place. The police wouldn't bother to attend but even if they did, what can they arrest you for when there were thousands over parks and at beaches and beauty spots? The only person who is 'in danger' of being infected is yourself, and my friend never had Covid when he went in for what I thought was a simple exploratory operation. Anyway, back to performance, I dabble a bit for my grandchildren with cards and numbers, strictly an amateur. I have vague ideas of how you do some of them, but in reality, I don't want to know. That would spoil future shows for me. Suffice it to say that you are the ultimate showman and fully deserve all the accolades you get.

Fantastic show derren. Mind blown again 🤯🤯🤯

Incredible performer and a genuinely good person. And his message is a loving and true message. I wish him all the luck and positive vibes in the world.

It was amazing seeing this a second time. So glad I saw it in Liverpool, it’s a memory that I’ll never forget, well except one part of course. I forgot that a long time ago. You’re the best, derren!

What’s with the royalty free trap music?

Just watched it. Brilliant 👍

It's fun for the viewer, but I think if I went through what the lady with the card in the box went through, I'd probably crack up at the thought that my mind could be manipulated to that extent and not be any the wiser.

I loved the Show ,I found it very moving. I lost the best pal I ever had to Covid we were together for around 30 years and I miss her every day. Thanks Derren x

Just watched your show ,10/10 Amazing as always..👏👏👏 Sorry for your loss.

Did Sophie (girl with card in the box) have a Scopio sign tattooed on her finger. The Star sign Derren tricked into thinking that horoscope was for them.... 🤔

So I went on stage during the Leeds show "guarding the box", is it possible to get that footage?

I saw it live at The Lowry and it was so so good- I’ve just rewatched it and it was even better than I remember!

Did anyone else watching this at home not see the card in the box trick happen??? I was really freaked out. It says it can't effect you at home but it did because I didn't see it happen along with the audience..when he showed the footage at the end I was shocked. I just heard his voice echo and then it showed the audience hypnotised and then the lights went red and that's all I saw???? I'm so confused

Incredible show !! Amazing ❤

Brilliant show Derren, we saw it in January and we loved it!

Fantastic show

"Come out"?

I.realy cant get over that.all.of his audiences think he is realy doing this ?

Top bloke

You blow my mind a way cool

great show, loved it

nice

Amazing! I hardly noticed you were using actors by the end of it. Though i DID notice lol.

Been to see derren a few times love his ideas, but did derren think plandemic real 🤨

Its gotta be plants that he uses.people going to the same show twice will see the same plants surely.answers on a postcard to ....

What a showman....he always amazes me...

Only the du,mb dont know that Derran just picks people who will obey him! Some people are just sheep and will do what they are told to do..its that simple. However Derren is a great showman and at least admits theres no paranormal crap etc going on. What I'm curious about is why do more woman than men swallow that crap?

How can I watch it?
