derren brown's seance

[LiquidEyes]

Eddie Halliwell's DJing on Sunday was supernatural.

I knew it was all a load of shit but couldn't actually watch it cause I know It would still scare me, sad I know! Watched a film on BBC2 instead.

how did you know it would be a laod of shit if you didnt watch it?

It was quite good. And the great think about Derren is he clearly points out that's it's nothing more then auto suggestion and influencing the mind. Unlike that David Blaine lovely person. Pretty obvious how we picked Jane but I'm not sure why I wrote down London. Maybe it's just the obvious think to pick London or something?

It wasn't a load of shit at all.

Watched a film on BBC2 instead. how did you know it would be a laod of shit if you didnt watch it? Because it's Derren Brown, a magician. I did watch the first part with the group and the spirit box, once it got to the part with the ouja board I switched over.

Being a magician is an act, he never says he is a magician, nowhere. And he specifically makes it clear that what he does is not magic.

It wasn't a load of shit at all. Sorry should have re-phased...I knew it was all phony, psycological rather than spiritual. I am sure it was very interesting, just didn't want nightmares in bed even though I know it's not real.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not a sceptic but Derrin Brown puts false ideas into peoples heads and basiclly makes a mockery of the supernatural. Dont like him, I USE TO but hes done things that have made me realise hes nothing but a con man. That thing with the nail, where he puts it up his nose....I can do that. What a tosser.

He explained right from the off to the viewers that he was using Victorian techniques to trick the volunteers into thinking stuff was happening.

 

I actually thought it was some of the best TV I've seen for ages, and a damn site better than David Blaine.

 

BTW: Ginge - how do you explain the tambourine and the bloke screaming to get out at the beggining ? I suppose you could do that could ya ?
