How are some ppl so suprised the russian roulette trick was an illusion?

Magic = Illusions

"There is absolutely no way that the States of Jersey police would allow anybody to put themselves at risk and shoot themselves dead."

I'm glad I missed it. Sounds like an excuse to glamourise gun use to me...
:ban:

"this illusion was sponsored in part by the so-solid crew"

*allegedly*

lol is this to prove that guns arent really dangerous, and can actually be fun eh?!

derrin is a psycological magician, not an illusionist

i didnt se the programme personally, but i heard the blank mashed the fuck out of a bottle! it would have huirt him pretty bad if it had gone off in his face

there was no illusion jac mate, he had a real gun and real blank bullet, a real person, and he didnt get it wrong

i have much more respect for derrin brown's skills than i do for david blaine

[Misdemeanor]

okay so he's a parapsychologist :p

Its still an illusion thou - viewers thought they saw something they didnt!

But i have to agree got a lot more respect for him than mr blaine. ithink he's lost it by doing this 40days 40nite crap.

[Ov3RKiLL]

thank you!

ive said right from the start david blaine was a fool



(derrin never advertised it as a real bullet did he? just that he was going to play russian roulete, ner ner!!)

:badteeth:

[Misdemeanor]

yea but if he 'd have said im gonna play russian roulette with a plastic gun and blanks who'd watch :p

yea i've changed my opinion of mr blaine. As i've said before, solitary confinement is used as a means of punishement = so does seem odd to me.

[Ov3RKiLL]

he thinks he's performing an amazing feat of human achievement

what about prisiners of war who were chained to a post, never allowed to stand up for more than an hour and consumed less than mr blaine has, ie, his fresh water supply

is it TRUE that some one really flew a remote controlled helecopter up to him and dangled maccy d's burgers right in front of him!?


:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Misdemeanor]

yea have to agree. ITs more like a japanese torture show than anything else.

I think he was expecting more public support but 40days is a long time to keep public interest when all he's doing is sitting on his arse :rolleyes:

Why couldn't he do his stunt in his own country???

well fuck me

i actually agree with frost :eek:

derren brown does awesome tricks claiming he can read your signs you give off about what you are thinking without realising it. from what i've seen, i wouldn't argue

he is a legend.

as far as I understand it, he was using a real bullet (obv i know now that he wasn't) but when he fired it into the bag of flour at the end, the bag split and flour started pouring out. :-/

who cares anyway. he risked serious bodily harm either way you look at it. and came out in one piece :D

and as far as david blane goes, I've seen the "card appearing on the other side of the window" trick being done by a 14 year friend of mine right before my eyes, so without disrespecting said friend, it can hardly be real "magic"

levitation though..... :(
