ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Derren Brown - Psychological illusionist, author
With beguiling feats of mind reading and suggestion, Derren Brown explores psychological manipulation and its implications for the human experience.

Why you should listen

Derren Brown redefines magic through must-see TV and stage events, exhilarating audiences for 20 years in the UK and now worldwide with his brand of psychological illusion. He has gained a reputation as a performer consistently prepared to break down boundaries.

Amid a varied and notorious TV career, Brown has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas, motivated a shy man to land a packed passenger plane at 30,000 feet, hypnotized another to assassinate Stephen Fry, persuaded a racist to change his ways and lay down his life for an illegal immigrant, and created a zombie apocalypse for an unwitting participant after dramatically ending the world.

Brown's most recent special, Sacrifice, is currently streaming on Netflix, and his show Secret will be playing on Broadway at the Cort Theatre from September 6, 2019 through January 4, 2020. He is the author of Meet the People with Love, Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine and Confessions of a Conjuror.

We are all trapped被困

4351
我們都受
大腦思維所困。
00:17
inside內 our own擁有 heads頭,
1
5542
2101
00:19
and our beliefs信仰 and our understandings理解
about the world世界 are limited有限
2
7667
3976
我們對於世界的看法及理解
也因此而受限，
00:23
by that perspective透視,
3
11667
1726
00:25
which哪一個 means手段 we tell ourselves我們自己 stories故事.
4
13417
3166
也就是說，我們會自己編故事。
00:29
Right? So here we are
in this infinite無窮 data數據 source資源.
5
17583
3768
對吧？我們身處無盡資料源中。
00:33
There's an infinite無窮 number數 of things
that we could think about,
6
21375
2976
我們可能思及無數東西，
00:36
but we edit編輯 and delete刪除.
7
24375
2309
卻加以編輯和刪減。
00:38
We choose選擇 what to think about,
what to pay工資 attention注意 to.
8
26708
3435
我們選擇性地思考、選擇性去關注。
00:42
We make up a story故事 ...
9
30167
1291
我們自己編造故事⋯⋯
00:47
to make sense感 of what's going on,
10
35333
1584
來讓事情變得合理，
00:50
and we all get it wrong錯誤.
11
38125
2059
可我們都錯了。
00:52
Because we're all trying試 to navigate導航
with our own擁有 skewed偏斜 compasses圓規,
12
40208
3226
因為我們都用自己
不準的指南針導航，
00:55
and we all have our own擁有 baggage行李,
13
43458
1601
身負自己的思想包袱，
00:57
but the stories故事 themselves他們自己
are utterly完全 convincing使人信服.
14
45083
3185
卻編造出極具說服力的故事。
01:00
And we all do this,
15
48292
1309
大家都是如此，
01:01
and a lot of the stories故事
that we live生活 by aren't不 even our own擁有.
16
49625
2893
許多隨我們過活的故事
甚至不是源於我們。
年輕時，最初來自於父母，
01:04
The first ones那些 we inherit繼承
at a young年輕 age年齡 from our parents父母,
17
52542
2726
想當然父母有自己不準確的看法、
01:07
who of course課程 have
their其 own擁有 skewed偏斜 beliefs信仰,
18
55292
2101
01:09
their其 own擁有 frustrations挫折,
their其 own擁有 unlived未生存 lives生活.
19
57417
2750
他們自身的挫折、未完成的人生。
01:13
And for better or worse更差,
we take all that onboard在船上,
20
61375
2339
無論好壞，我們全盤接受，
01:15
and then we go out into the world世界
21
63724
1585
接著我們迎向世界，
01:17
thinking思維 maybe we have to
be successful成功 to be loved喜愛;
22
65339
3304
想著也許我們必須成功才能受愛戴，
01:20
or that we always have to put
other people's人們 needs需求 first;
23
68667
3642
或總得以他人需求為優先，
01:24
or that we have some big大 terrible可怕 secret秘密
we couldn't不能 possible可能 tell people.
24
72333
4060
不然就是有著難以告人的秘密。
01:28
And it's just fiction小說, it's just stories故事,
25
76417
1976
而這不過是虛構的，是故事罷了。
01:30
and we'd星期三 worry擔心 a lot less減
about what other people think of us
26
78417
2892
一旦知道別人根本不怎麼想起我們，
01:33
if we realized實現 how seldom很少 they do.
27
81333
2393
就不會那麼擔心
他人對自己的看法了。
01:35
(Laughter笑聲)
28
83750
2476
（笑聲）
01:38
So I feel that magic魔法 is a great analogy比喻
for how we edit編輯 reality現實 and form形成 a story故事
29
86250
7143
所以我認為用魔術來類比
我們如何編造現實和故事，
與誤將故事當作事實
01:45
and then mistake錯誤 that story故事 for the truth真相,
30
93417
3642
再好不過了。
01:49
and I've had a 20-year-年 career事業 in the UK聯合王國
31
97083
3226
二十年來我在英國
01:52

34
106375
1893
我也上舞台表演。
02:00
I've got my first Broadway百老匯 show顯示 actually其實

02:04

（笑聲）
02:07
That should be this year年.
38
115125
2184
今年吧。
02:09
And I try to do something new新
with mentalism精神主義, mentalism精神主義,
39
117333
4851
我以「心靈主義」做了新嘗試，
心靈主義是一種不可信的
進入你腦袋的藝術。
02:14
which哪一個 is the dubious可疑 art藝術
of getting得到 inside內 your head頭.
40
122208
5167
02:21
So there was a heyday極盛
for this kind類 of stage階段 mind-reading讀心術,
41
129792
3267
這種心靈感應表演的全盛期
02:25
which哪一個 was the 1930s.
42
133083
1643
就在 1930 年代。
02:26
That's why I'm dressed連衣裙的 like this,
43
134750
2226
所以我才穿成這樣，
02:29
in my most最 un-TED-likeUN-TED樣 garb外衣.
44
137000
2000
打扮得一點都不像要來 TED。
02:32
And there was an act法案,
an act法案 known已知 as the Oracle神諭 Act法案.
45
140292
3309
還有一種表演稱作「神諭」。
02:35
And in the Oracle神諭 Act法案,
members會員 of the audience聽眾,
46
143625
2226
「神諭表演」中，觀眾，
02:37
as I know you have doneDONE,
47
145875
1601
正如我知道你們已經做完了，
02:39
would write寫 down secret秘密 questions問題,
48
147500
1893
會寫下秘密問題，
02:41
the sort分類 of questions問題
you might威力 ask問 a psychic精神,
49
149417
2642
你可能會想問通靈者的問題，
02:44
seal密封 that question題 into an envelope信封,
50
152083
3101
將其密封於信封裡，
02:47
and on the outside外 of the envelope信封
they would write寫 their其 initials聲母
51
155208
3143
信封外寫上姓名首字母，
02:50
and then roughly大致
where they satSAT in the audience聽眾.
52
158375
3417
以及在觀眾席中大略的位置。
02:55
And then the Oracle神諭, the mind心神 reader讀者,
would take an envelope信封 one at a time,
53
163417
3559
接著傳神諭者，也就是讀心者，
會一次拿一個信封，
02:59
he wouldn't不會 open打開 it,
54
167000
1309
他不會打開信封，
03:00
but he would attempt嘗試 to divine神聖
what question題 was sealed密封 inside內.
55
168333
3935
他會試著感應封在裡頭的問題，
03:04
And if he got that right,
he would try and answer回答 the question題
56
172292
3101
若成功了，他會嘗試回答
03:07
for the person人 too.
57
175417
1434
該位觀眾的問題。
03:08
And the act法案 spread傳播 like wildfire磷火.
58
176875
2434
這種表演迅速紅了起來。
03:11
It's a testament遺囑, I think,
to the seductive妖媚 appeal上訴
59
179333
3601
我覺得這證明了一些
頗具影響力者的誘人吸引力，

謝謝大家的配合。
03:29
I will take those now.
Thank you all of you that did this.
66
197083
2726
03:31
I should say, probably大概,
a couple一對 of things before I start開始.
67
199833
5893
開始前我可能得說幾件事。
絕對誠實。
03:37
In absolute絕對 honesty誠實,
68
205750
1375
03:40
first of all I can't see
through通過 these envelopes信封.
69
208042
2309
首先我看不透這些信封，
03:42
They are sealed密封.
They are thick厚 black黑色 envelopes信封.
70
210375
2268
它們密封著，又黑又厚。
03:44
You'll你會 know if you wrote寫 one.
I can't see through通過 them.
71
212667
2601
你們有寫的話就會知道。
我無法透過信封看到內容。
03:47
Secondly其次, importantly重要的,
I don't know any of you
72
215292
2476
第二，很重要，
我不認識你們任何人。
03:49
and nobody沒有人 is playing播放 along沿.
73
217792
2017
沒人在底下配合我。
03:51
That's not what this is.
74
219833
1625
讀心術不會這麼做。
03:54
Thirdly第三 ...
75
222542
1250
第三點⋯⋯
03:57
I don't believe for a second第二 that I have
any special特別 psychological心理 gifts禮品,
76
225542
4767
我從不信自己有任何特殊心理天賦，
04:02
let alone單獨 any psychic精神 ones那些.
77
230333
2292
更別提超能力了。
04:05
So let's begin開始.
78
233750
1250
那我們開始吧。
04:12
Nope不.
79
240542
1267
沒有。
04:13
(Laughter笑聲)
80
241833
3209
（笑聲）
04:20
OK, this --
81
248375
1268
好的，這個⋯⋯
04:21
Oh, nice不錯.
82
249667
1642
喔，讚。
04:23
OK, this one's那些 interesting有趣.
There's a couple一對 here.
83
251333
2393
好，這封很有趣。這裡有幾封。
04:25
I will start開始 with maybe this one.
84
253750
1809
我可能先從這封開始。
04:27
This one's那些 interesting有趣,
because the writing寫作 undulates取消.
85
255583
2976
這封很有趣，字寫得像波浪一樣。
04:30
There's a sort分類 of an up and down thing,
86
258583
1893
蘊含著一種波動感。
這通常，不總是如此啦，通常代表
04:32
which哪一個 normally一般 -- not always --
normally一般 means手段
87
260500
2184
04:34
that the person人 doesn't know
the answer回答 to the question題 themselves他們自己,
88
262708
3185
這類人自己也不知道問題的答案，
所以一般是和未來
有關的問題，對吧？
04:37
so it's normally一般 a question題
about the future未來, right?
89
265917
2476
這暗示著幾分不確定性。
04:40
That sort分類 of suggests提示 uncertainty不確定.
90
268417
1642
所以我猜這是一位女士，
04:42
So I would say it's a lady淑女,
91
270083
2310
04:44
age-wise按年齡排列 it's a little difficult難 to tell
from this minimal最小 handwriting手寫,
92
272417
3392
這點筆跡有點難辨別年齡，
04:47
but I would expect期望 maybe 30s,
maybe 40s, but let's find out.
93
275833
3768
但我想大概三、四十幾，來看看吧。
04:51
It says說 -- and a question題
about the future未來 --
94
279625
2099
它說，還有個關於未來的問題，
04:53
it says說, "JNJN, center中央."
95
281738
3446
它說：「JN，中心。」
04:57
So it's going to be somebody誰
in this big大 central中央 section部分 here.
96
285208
2935
所以是某個坐在這大片中央區的人，
05:00
If you think this is you,
if you wrote寫 one,
97
288167
2059
如果你覺得是你，若你有寫，
05:02
could you make a fuss小題大作?
98
290250
1268
可以來點騷動示意一下嗎？
05:03
It's a bit位 difficult難 for me
to see in the center中央.
99
291542
2309
我不太看得清中央區。
05:05
Hi你好, give us a wave波.
100
293875
1268
嗨，對我們揮揮手。
05:07
So J ...
101
295167
1309
那麼 J ……
05:08
Jane簡? Jessica傑西卡?
102
296500
1518
珍？潔西卡？
05:10
Jessica傑西卡: Yes.
103
298042
1267
潔西卡：「對。」
05:11
Derren德倫 Brown棕色: Which哪一個 one?
Jessica傑西卡: Jessica傑西卡.
104
299333
1975
達倫・布朗：「哪個呢？」
潔西卡：「潔西卡。」
05:13
DBD B: Thank you. Just a guess猜測.

05:16
(Laughter笑聲)
106
304458
1601
（笑聲）
05:18
I'll take it.
107
306083
1250
我收下了。
05:20
Alright好的, so Jessica傑西卡,
I won't慣於 ask問 your age年齡,
108
308583
1976
好的，潔西卡，我不會問妳的年齡，
05:22
but is it a question題
essentially實質上 about the future未來?
109
310583
2351
但這問題基本上和未來有關嗎？
潔西卡：「嗯！」
達倫・布朗：「是嗎？」
05:24
Jessica傑西卡: MhmMhm?
DBD B: Yes?
110
312958
1268
05:26
Jessica傑西卡: Yes.
DBD B: Yes. OK.
111
314250
1268
潔西卡：「是。」
達倫・布朗：「是，好的。」
05:27
Alright好的. So what did we ask問?
What did Jessica傑西卡 ask問 about the future未來?
112
315542
4976
好。那麼問題是什麼呢？
潔西卡問了什麼關於未來的問題？
05:32
So am I OK with late-晚了-30s, early-早-40s?
113
320542
4434
我猜三十歲末、四十歲初可以嗎？
05:37
Jessica傑西卡: I'll take it. I'm taking服用 it.
114
325000
1809
我可以接受。我接受。
05:38
(Laughter笑聲)
115
326833
2292
（笑聲）
05:42
DBD B: OK, so it's important重要,
116
330708
1310
好的，這很重要，
因為我們會依年齡提出不同問題。
05:44
because we ask問 different不同 questions問題
depending根據 how old舊 we are.
117
332042
2851
05:46
Just say, "I'll take it" again.
118
334917
2017
再說一次「我能接受。」
05:48
Jessica傑西卡: I'll take it.
119
336958
1768
潔西卡：「我能接受。」
05:50
DBD B: Virginia弗吉尼亞州? You're from Virginia弗吉尼亞州?

潔西卡：「是，沒錯。」
05:53
DBD B: Yeah. So --
121
341833
1685
達倫・布朗：「好，那麼⋯⋯」
05:55

06:03
I think you're looking at plans計劃,
125
351958
2560

06:28
What was the actual實際 question題?
What did you put?
134
376875
2934
確切問題是什麼呢？妳怎麼寫的？
06:31
Jessica傑西卡: "Will I sell賣
the farm農場 in Virginia弗吉尼亞州?"
135
379833
2101
潔西卡：「我會賣掉
維吉尼亞的農場嗎？」
達倫・布朗：妳會賣掉農場嗎？
06:33
DBD B: Will you sell賣 the farm農場?
136
381958
1310
06:35
Alright好的, so look, it's a great question題
if you are pretending假裝 to be psychic精神,
137
383292
3601
好，注意，這對
裝會通靈的人是個好問題，
06:38
because it's about the future未來,
138
386917
1476
因為這和未來相關，
06:40
which哪一個 means手段 I can give you
a yes or no on this.
139
388417
2226
我可以隨意給你肯定或否定的答案。
這毫無意義。因為你無法驗證未來。
06:42
It means手段 nothing.
You have no way of verifying驗證 it.
140
390667
2375
06:46
And a dangerous危險 thing to do --
141
394458
1476
危險的是⋯⋯
06:47
and if I say yes or no,
it'll它會 just stick棒 in the back of your mind心神,
142
395958
3110
無論我回答了什麼，
都會留在你腦海，
它會開始影響你做的決定。
06:51
and it can't not start開始 to affect影響
decisions決定 you make.
143
399082
2436
這很危險。但是⋯⋯
06:53
So a dangerous危險 thing to do. However然而 --
144
401542
1851
06:55
(Laughter笑聲)
145
403417
2351
（笑聲）
06:57
Yes, I think you will sell賣 the farm農場,
146
405792
2000
是的，我認為妳會賣掉農場。
07:01
because I think you're the sort分類 of person人
147
409500
1976
因為我覺得妳就是那種
07:03
that in the nicest最好 way
will get what you want.
148
411500
2184
會一切順利、得償所願的人。
07:05
I think when there are things you want,
you tend趨向 to focus焦點 on them
149
413708
4351
我覺得妳只要有想要的東西，
就會專注在上面，
07:10
at the expense費用 of other things
150
418083
1476
以犧牲其他
07:11
that you know you probably大概
should be focusing調焦 on more,
151
419583
2560
妳更應該專注的事物為代價。
07:14
would you agree同意?
152
422167
1291
妳認同嗎？
07:16
Educated博學, you spent花費 a few少數 years年份 in --
153
424708
3310
教育方面，妳花了幾年在⋯⋯
07:20
Say yes again, the word字 "yes" quickly很快?
Jessica傑西卡: Yes.
154
428042
2476
再說一次「是」，說快一點？
潔西卡：「是。」
07:22
DBD B: No?
Jessica傑西卡: No.
155
430542
1767
達倫・布朗：「不是呢？」
潔西卡：「不是。」
07:24
DBD B: California加州? Berkeley伯克利?
A bit位 of a guess猜測, but ...
156
432333
2393
加州？柏克萊？
猜了一點，但是⋯⋯
07:26
Jessica傑西卡: I went去 to Berkeley伯克利, yes.
Stop doing this!
157
434750
2893
潔西卡：「我在柏克萊念過書，
對。別再猜了。」
07:29
DBD B: So it's a yes.
158
437667
1642
達倫・布朗：所以答案是「是」。
07:31
Oh, and you've been
to India印度 recently最近 as well.
159
439333
2185
喔，而且妳最近去了印度一趟。
07:33
There's just a tiny小, tiny小 little thing
going on there. Yes? No?
160
441542
3309
在那裡發生了件小事情，
是嗎？不是？
07:36
Jessica傑西卡: Yes, I just got back from India印度.
161
444875
1976
潔西卡：「是，我剛從印度回來。」
07:38
DBD B: It's a yes from me, I just don't want
to say it like it's written書面 in the stars明星
162
446875
3893
達倫・布朗：我的回答是「是」，
我只是不想說得像命運的安排，
因為並非如此，你也得負上責任。
這樣回答了你的問題嗎？是嗎？
07:42
because it isn't, and you need
to take responsibility責任 for it.
163
450792
3017
潔西卡：「是。」
達倫・布朗：太棒了！
請坐，謝謝。我們來試試另一個。
07:45

我會盡量快些。
重心放在左側並說「是」。

186
514125
2188
08:48
Man: Yes.
187
516317
1159
達倫・布朗：（嘆息）你有……

1542
拿麥克風上來。謝謝。
09:08
Thank you so much.
That would be great there.
194
536625
2143
謝謝你。放這就好。
09:10
I'm going to change更改 micMIC because,
195
538792
3392
我換麥克風是因為⋯⋯
09:14
hopefully希望 you can now still hear聽 me?
196
542208
1709
但願你們現在都還能聽見我聲音。
09:17
So I'm going to blindfold盲目的 myself我.
197
545208
1584
我要蒙住自己的雙眼。
09:21
And I'm doing this now so I don't
have the clues線索 as you stand站 up.
198
549625
4893
這樣你們起身時我便無跡可尋了。
09:26
I can't see where you put your hands手.
199
554542
1809
我看不見你們手放哪。
09:28
I can't see how you respond響應
to what I'm saying話.
200
556375
2226
看不見你們對我話語的反應。
09:30
I can't see what the people
next下一個 to you are doing either或.
201
558625
2684
也看不見你隔壁的人在做什麼。
09:33
If they know the answers答案 to the question題,
that's always very helpful有幫助.
202
561333
3268
若他們知道問題的答案會很有幫助。
09:36
I won't慣於 have those advantages優點,
203
564625
1476
我沒有那些優勢，
09:38
but strangely奇怪,
204
566125
1292
但這卻不可思議地
09:42
this frees的FreeS me up,
205
570292
2017
解放了我，
09:44
and I want this to free自由 you up as well,
206
572333
1893
我也希望能解放你們，
09:46
so if you didn't write寫 a question題
207
574250
1601
所以若你們沒寫問題
09:47
but you wish希望 that you had doneDONE,
208
575875
2768
後悔了，
09:50
you can still take part部分.
209
578667
1267
你們還是能參與。
09:51
The point點 of writing寫作 the question題
is only that it just kind類 of gets得到
210
579958
3185
寫下問題的目的只是為了
讓你們腦中有漂亮、
清晰及簡潔的措辭。
09:55
a nice不錯, clear明確, succinct簡潔
wording說法 in your head頭.
211
583167
2726
09:57
So if you can just find
a question題 in your head頭,
212
585917
2684
所以若你腦中想到了問題，
10:00
make it clear明確 and succinct簡潔,
just send發送 it to me,
213
588625
2204
弄得更清楚簡潔，傳遞給我。
10:02
and I'll try and do this now
without無 anything written書面 down.
214
590853
2790
現在我會在沒書面的
情況下嘗試回答。
10:05
So just start開始 to form形成 questions問題
but send發送 me your name名稱 as well.
215
593667
2934
那麼開始想問題，也把
名字給我吧！那很重要。
「我的名字是」隨便什麼人名，
10:08
"My name名稱 is," whatever隨你 that last guy was,
216
596625
2059
10:10
and "what's strange奇怪 about my feet腳,"
or whatever隨你 the question題 was.
217
598708
3810
和「我的腳哪裡不對勁」
或任何問題。
10:14
So name名稱 and question題.
218
602542
2226
那麼名字和問題。
10:16
There is somebody誰 already已經,
I'm guessing揣測 you're quite相當 near近 the front面前,
219
604792
3226
已經有人囉，我猜你跟前排很近，
10:20
because your name名稱 is quite相當 clear明確.
220
608042
3934
因為你的名字非常清楚。
10:24
Feels感覺 like you're
in the center中央 at the front面前.
221
612000
2143
感覺你在中央前排。
10:26
OK, let me just ... Allan艾倫?
222
614167
1642
好的，讓我⋯⋯艾倫？
10:27
Feels感覺 like there's an Allan艾倫.
223
615833
1393
感覺有個叫艾倫的。
10:29
And you're going to be quite相當 near近
the front面前, vaguely依稀 central中央, I think.
224
617250
3309
而且你離前排相當近，依稀在中央。
10:32
Feels感覺 like it's coming未來 from right there.
225
620583
1935
感覺在那兒。
10:34
There's like a man, maybe early早 60s,
something like that.
226
622542
2726
一名男士，大概六十出頭，之類的。
10:37
Allan艾倫: Yes.
227
625292
1267
艾倫：「是的。」
10:38

626583
1893
達倫・布朗：你拿
麥克風了嗎？很好，謝謝。
10:40

so that I know where you are,
229
628500
4018
艾倫，我指到你就說「停」，
10:44

233
641458
3167
達倫・布朗：艾倫腦中有某事物。
10:58
Now, did you hear聽 it,
hear聽 the reserve保留 in his voice語音?
234
646000
2476
現在，聽見了嗎？他語帶保留。
11:00
It's going to be something really tricky狡猾.
235
648500
1976
是某件挺棘手的事物。
11:02
I think with you ...
Just say "yes" again for me?
236
650500
2309
我想⋯⋯再說一次「是」好嗎？
11:04
Allan艾倫: Yes.
237
652833
1250
艾倫：「是。」
11:08
DBD B: It's going to be either或 --

1434
達倫・布朗：它會是⋯⋯
11:09
no it's not.
239
657500
1268
不，不對。
11:10
It's access訪問, it's a password密碼
or access訪問 to something.
240
658792
4476
是門路，密碼或通往某事物的門路。
11:15
Have you got something, just yes or no,
with a password密碼 in your head頭?
241
663292
3267
你腦中是否有密碼
相關事物，是或否？
11:18
Allan艾倫: Yes.
242
666583
1268
艾倫：「是。」
11:19
DBD B: A computer電腦 password密碼,

247
674292
2809
達倫・布朗：既然如此，
我把這個完成吧。讓我⋯⋯
11:29
If I get this right,
248
677125
1851
如果我對了，
11:31
they're all going to know what it is,
and millions百萬 of people potentially可能.
249
679000
3434
他們就會知道密碼了，
其他數百萬人可能也是。
11:34
You will change更改 it, won't慣於 you?
250
682458
1476
你會改密碼的，對吧？
11:35

I imagine想像 it's a word字, right --
254
691458
3101
達倫・布朗：好，若它是一個字⋯⋯
我想它是一個字，好⋯⋯
11:46

我想是「B」是嗎？
12:11
Allan艾倫: No.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Derren Brown - Psychological illusionist, author
With beguiling feats of mind reading and suggestion, Derren Brown explores psychological manipulation and its implications for the human experience.

Why you should listen

Derren Brown redefines magic through must-see TV and stage events, exhilarating audiences for 20 years in the UK and now worldwide with his brand of psychological illusion. He has gained a reputation as a performer consistently prepared to break down boundaries.

Amid a varied and notorious TV career, Brown has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas, motivated a shy man to land a packed passenger plane at 30,000 feet, hypnotized another to assassinate Stephen Fry, persuaded a racist to change his ways and lay down his life for an illegal immigrant, and created a zombie apocalypse for an unwitting participant after dramatically ending the world.

Brown's most recent special, Sacrifice, is currently streaming on Netflix, and his show Secret will be playing on Broadway at the Cort Theatre from September 6, 2019 through January 4, 2020. He is the author of Meet the People with Love, Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine and Confessions of a Conjuror.
