About Derren Brown
English mentalist, illusionist, and writer
Derren Brown is an English mentalist, illusionist, and writer. He describes himself as a psychological illusionist, and has built his reputation on stage performances that mix psychology, showmanship, magic, misdirection, suggestion, audience participation, and comedy.

In his live shows, he also explains that his effects come from performance craft rather than paranormal power.
