SciFi Wants to Get Into Your Head
There’s a new reality show coming on SciFi that will amaze in surprise us. It’s a show starring a mentalist, Derren Brown. Here’s what SciFi has to say about it:
This July, SCI FI Channel will introduce America to mentalist Derren Brown, the British sensation described as “part James Bond, part Yoda.” With numerous top-rated series and specials to his credit, Derren has astounded UK television audiences causing them to conclude that he knows your mind better than you do. SCI FI’s original U.S. produced version of the Derren Brown Project (official title TBD) will consist of 6 jaw-dropping 1-hour episodes that must be seen to be believed. Andrew O’Conner and Michael Vine will serve as executive producers for Objective Productions.
Imagine being inspired to rob an armored car or freely giving up your car keys and wallet to a stranger on the street simply because he asked for them, or suddenly finding yourself a real-life participant in a popular video game. Derren Brown is a man who can make such things happen. The British press has called him “mind-blowing,” “fascinating” and “a warlock.” He doesn’t claim to be a mind reader, though he can seemingly predict and control human behavior. He describes his craft as a mixture of suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. Whatever you choose to call it, his unparalleled gift is a powerful and provocative form of entertainment.
I’ll be happy to observe from a safe distance from the TV… ;-)
