Derren Brown. What can I say? While "stage mentalism" can be viewed as a rather archaic and too ornamented novelty, like magic - Derren Brown presents it in just that way but with new contemporary flare PLUS psychological nuances, and fun facts that Brown has from his knowledge of psychodynamics, biopsych and even NLP. Thus his being "honest about his dishonesty."
You will also find out that this is NOT a mere show of mentalism or sleight of mind... it is his true display of "soft science" and the exploit of "psychic manipulation" when in the end he REVEALS his methods of subliminal persuasion. This is the good thing about Derren Brown's psychic routines, they are fun, and in the end they can allow the showman to strangely, maintain TRANSPARENCY about what he does in the Art.
I rate this video Grade A+
