Originally Derren Brown was only available on Channel 4 in the UK and I was only able to watch his work in scattered places across the web.  Apparently Derren is already very popular and well known in the UK and has written a few books: Trick of the Mind. So based on his previous success in the UK I know Derren Brown will definitely catch on in the US.

I like Derren Brown’s work for a number of reasons. First of all, before watching him I was already very interested in hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming. And after watching his work for a little while I realized how original he was in the way he twisted old methods and tricks. He is not like mainstream US magicians today such as Chris Angel, who are using tricks verbatim without improving or changing them. Derren uses techniques from both hypnosis and NLP while also including a little magic from time to time. This mix gives viewers and audience members a new and creative performance every time.

So if you like trickery, persuasion, manipulation, etc… Check out Derren Brown on the Sci-Fi Channel
