The Specifics

Live Collection

An Evening of Wonders
The psychological illusionist takes the audience on a journey through mind control and subliminal suggestion and recreates the Oracle Act from the turn of the 20th century. The show features audience participation, stunts and an array of mind games.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
This DVD features the Olivier Award-winning stage show. Derren stops his pulse, walks on glass, and armed only with a few newspapers drives the show to a tour-de-force finale of prediction, influence and showmanship.

Enigma
A special tone leaves the audience hypnotised and a woman finds herself sleep-walking through the rows. Is a supernatural force summoned within the Spirit Cabinet or is the medium somehow doing Brown’s bidding?

The Specials

Russian Roulette Live
The original and most infamous of Derren’s live stunts caused nationwide controversy and had viewers terrified. In a secret location, a member of the public selected from a nationwide search is asked to load a real gun with only one bullet. The gun is passed to Derren, who must work out what chamber contains the live bullet, whilst firing the other chambers against his head. Will his skills give him the power to dodge the bullet?

The Heist Derren uses the cover of a motivational seminar and documentary to see if he can persuade a group of businessmen and women to steal £100,000 in what they believe is an armed robbery. How much will it take for him to make a responsible human mind cross into dangerous and criminal behaviour?

The Séance
12 students take part in various stages of a séance using a variety of Victorian methods – from automatic writing and the Ouija Board, through to a chilling possession in the climactic dark seance. Viewers watching live also contribute with their own experiences at home. Challenging the myths of spiritualism, will Derren find a modern audience any more sceptical than the terrified Victorians in this roller-coaster of an experiment?

The System
Posing as an anonymous tipster, Derren repeatedly predicts, twenty-four hours in advance, the winners of horse-races and sends those tips to a single mother from London. She starts to bet and win increasing amounts, until she bets every last penny she has in one final race. But is there really a perfect system? Derren explains his fool-proof method for guaranteeing a win every time, and takes the audience galloping through the limits of perception up to a tense finale.
