    Mind Control is much cooler than your average foray into this realm, and by whatever methods its host employs, he has pretty well convinced me to watch again

    Mr. Brown has bought into something real: our childlike joy in being fooled.

    Although Brown repeatedly manipulates behavior, Mind Control ultimately comes across as a refreshingly honest endeavor. The tricks are entertaining, and the explanations revelatory.

    This show is simply amazing. His books are astounding as well. This is a must see series and something that you don't want to miss.

    Derren Brown is an extraordinary talent. With an increasingly inventive and shocking repertoire of illusions, he is surely the dark overlord of “magic”… Expand
