I'm convinced that for some of his most 'amazing' tricks that Brown just uses planted people for the trick. He's openly said that his goal is to always leave people guessing as to how much of what he does is real and how much is just tricks. Something like this is, as the lady said, impossible. If she didn't know how much money she had on her there was no way for him to even hope to read anything from the questions he asked her. Brown is an excellent showman and I still enjoy his pieces, but my interest is admittedly much lower now that I'm pretty much certain he is willing to use planted people for his 'mind' tricks. When there's always the chance he's just working with some actor it's all much less impressive.

^ I for one do not doubt that a man who is able to subconsciously convince normal people to commit armed robbery against the Bank of England is able to guess how much money people have on them.

I have my doubts about both myself. At first glance the bank robbery looked like one of his more plausible 'tricks' but after seeing some other tricks that, simply, had to be a setup on some level and Brown admitting as much I now doubt anything he does that seems too much to be true.

Derren Brown is a mind wizard.

Why do you assume that these were plants when there's a much simpler explanation?

Clearly, the envelopes they opened were not the envelopes they were originally given.

I like his suit.
