This week's Derren Brown

[kaliha]

[x] the blind chap who uses echo-location is awesome! I saw him on our local news a few months ago. He's gone to a school for the blind to teach a class of 11 and 12 year olds how to do what he does and within an afternoon they could echo-locate too. He has some serious skills. Especially when he can recognise a building 500 yards away. This was the best part of the whole show.

[x] Did you spot the masses of concentric circles through the show? (the railings in the Science Museum, the big poster advertising 100 years of something, the girl's eyes - the light they were shining into them made a another circle)

[x] I was hoping for a cat, boat or bridge.

[x] the remote viewing chap was rubbish though. He wasn't even that good at cold reading. Derren could have probably have done better.

[x] The text messages made me laugh, especially the lady from 'Cockermouth' (which surprisingly is a real place, I've just looked it up on Google Maps)

[x] The girl being at Stonehenge was amusing, but proof it was a bit of a set-up.


For those of you who don't care about our mind-controlling overlord, please have a kitten:

Yep, the subliminal stuff wasn't even subliminal (been having jolly fun with it over on the Guardian liveblog, where everyone's a bit cross). The thing I don't get is why he's delaying the debunking of it all. I mean, clearly he's working up to it - and he couldn't find any way to make the remote viewing 'doctor' guy look anything other than a complete arse - but I'd debate the merit of dragging it out over multiple shows, because he seems to be doing a grand job of irritating his most die-hard fans.

Then again, I'm here for the third week in a row...

I did draw a lot of circles. Concentric? Not really.

Never mind Derren, I am hypnotized by the all-consuming cuteness of Fairy Butterfly Kitten...
