Daren Brown Biography

Daren Brown is one of the most popular and richest Illusionist who was born on February 27, 1971 in Purley, United Kingdom. Derren Brown was born in Croydon, London, on 27 February 1971. He is being the child of Chris Bob and Chris Bob Brown. Brown was born in Purley which is which is a South London town that he describes as “the epitome of middle-class suburbia”. Brown has a brother who is who is nine years older than him.

In an article published in 2003 by the Daily Telegraph article published in 2003, Simon Singh criticised Brown’s early TV appearances, saying that he used routine mentalism and magic effects, such as the ten-card poker deal trick as genuine psychological manipulation. On Brown’s live and television shows, he is often seen to demonstrate to viewers the method by which an effect came about, using techniques such as subliminal suggestions and hypnosis. He also uses read body language. Singh’s argument is that the explanations are not truthful. In addition, Singh took exception to the site being classified as the Channel 4, which is channel 4’s “Science” section. The site was transferred in “Entertainment” for later series.

In an interview in New Scientist in 2005, when asked how he “acquired his psychological skills”, Brown says that he learnt skills as a hypnotist, which he was not sure how to apply until he started performing close-up magic. When asked whether he is able to detect lies, Brown claimed to be able to read subtle cues such as micro-muscle movements that indicate to him if someone is lying. Concerning his apparent success at hypnotising people, he stated that he can normally spot a suggestible type of person and chooses that person to be his participant. He believes that the presence of a television camera also increases suggestibility.

As part of Channel 4’s 3D season, Brown presented Derren Brown’s 3D Magic Spectacular. The show was not a new special from Brown, rather he was the presenter for a number of other magicians and clips that were shown. However, he did include one extract taken from a 2006 episode of Trick of the Mind in which he found an object that had been hidden in the streets of Venice by a volunteer.

Brown mentions comedian and magician Jerry Sadowitz, whom he encountered in the International Magic shop in Clerkenwell, London, as being crucial in his rise to fame. Sadowitz introduced him to with H&R publishers as well as Objective Productions, a production company started by TV magician Andrew O’Connor. The company gave him the opportunity to create his first production, Mind Control (2000) which was later to be their first award-winning production. After a few more shows produced by Objective, Brown set up his own company, Vaudeville Productions with former Objective executive directors Michael Vine, Andrew O’Connor as well as Paul Sandler, in order to create his own shows along with other projects together with other actors. The first show was Brown’s TV special Pushed to the Edge.
