No A!! There is no A to speak of!!

Currently Loving: DERREN BROWN, DERREN BROWN and DERREN BROWN!!

Okay, so this guy is awesome!! In case you're wondering, yes, I did get glued to my chair on Friday night! Woo hoo! I was so happy!! Though a couple of weird things happened.
My dad didn't get stuck, for one. This makes me think that whether or not you were kept in your seat had something to do with how much you "believe" in Derren (Tasha got stuck too!! Yaaaay!!)
Secondly, after the spell, trance, effect, WHATEVER wore off on me and I was able to stand up, I got an amazing load of shivers. My hands were trembling, my teeth were chattering and I couldn't stay in one place too long!
Lastly - and this is the only effect that is still to wear off - I became absolutely hysterical while the hypnosis (or whatever you want to call it). There were tears rolling down my face and I couldn't breathe properly. There was nothing funny about it - for those who didn't see it it was a white background with grey parallel lines spinning round on it. And I was shaking with giggles. I haven't laughed that hard that long for years... and it wasn't even a joke! The reason I say it's still with me is whenever I think back to that film, for some reason I can't help smiling...

Hurrm (yep, Watchmen, sorry ;D) I've just realised that some people may not have a clue what I'm speaking of. Deary me. What deprived people you are.
So if that is soo... seriously, you need to watch it...though the moment has kinda passed. Derren Brown, master mentalist, illusionist and showman, attempted a stunt live on television that, if successful, would glue at least half the population to their chairs. He played a hypnotic film at (apparently) exactly the right pitch and frequency to... I dunno, make the body incredibly heavy or forget it can move. Whatever. It worked on a few people, about two thirds of his live audience which, apparently, got it stronger as they had the film on one whole wall and were all "in the moment" (my words, not his. Derren talks better than me :D).

If you're new to him, I suggest you 4OD some of Derren's stuff (or, if you're like me, 4OD ALL of Derren's stuff). Everyone has their favourites, but they're better spoken about than typed. Go check him out.
Go now.
Why are you still here?
