EndedReality show

Derren Brown is a unique force in the world of illusion - he can seemingly predict and control human behaviour.

Whatever you choose to call it, his unparalleled performances amaze and unsettle all those who watch him. This is a powerful and provocative form of entertainment, unlikely to be imitated for a long while.
