hmmm, well, Derren Brown has never claimed to be doing the tricks for real and is always quick to state that what he is doing is an illusion and is perfectly easy to do. Then usually goes on to explain why it works. Like that thing he did about contacting the dead, all the way through he was saying, this is all fake but yet these people still believe its happening.
But yeah some of the stuff he does is still pretty baffling though.
What the hell was with that russian roulette thing he did though, that was just blinted .... thats a made up word by the way, it means wierd, if you don't like it, suck my balls [:D].
