Is this whole thing some big joke?

**beka51073** · 10-19-2010, 06:41 AM

Well some of us didn't, so maybe he doesn't.

Ah right, thanks for that.

I used to have similar experiences but found this site rather helpful : http://www.stopabductions.com/

There was to be a second episode but the C4 bosses caught 10 minutes of the first show and promptly sacked him

The biggest thing I can't get my head around is why they promoted this as live and then made no attempt to cover up that it wasn't live at all.

Is he just doing it to wind up RAB posters !!!!!

I DEMAND ANSWERS !!

I could easily memorise, say, 5 facts each about 7 people in the space of a few minutes, and I don't have any particular memory skills. I'm sure Derren would have no trouble at all doing this either. Plus it's even easier for him to remember if he's wearing his earpiece.

(That trick works on the principle that you only need to see one card in advance, which reminded me of what you said about The Oracle trick.)

Bloody hell!

Are you serious?

Forgive me if I don't believe this story at face value. What are the chances of the hypnotist in question just happening to be on the same coach trip as you (or did he plan it all?). And what are the chances of the hypnotist's assistant just happening to be your lodger? (Or was it all pre-planned?) It all sounRAB quite incredible.

Plus, I find your lack of punctuation a bit odd. With respect, it doesn't do your credibility any favours.

The article you linked to does not say all crop cirlces are man made! It claims that most of the circles
