huzzellio Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I feel like calling Derren a magician is such a slap in the face. He's said time and time again he uses Psychology and suggestion rather than 'magic'. I respect him so much for doing the things he does and admitting and accepting the science of it all rather than being all 'A MAGICIAN NEVER REVEALS...' The human mind is very powerful While I agree that it's a lot of psychology, I have also seen him hammer a nail into his nostril. That's a flat out magic trick.His psychological stuff is pretty amazing though. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbennxx Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 When did this accidental leak occur? people removed something from a lot of forums, so I am guessing that was it. But what was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I bet Merlin just went onto Paint and filled the page black and called this "marketing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Why don't we wait and see what's actually happening before slagging them off yeah? L7123456 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Saying I'm slagging them off is a slight exaggeration. I just find it funny and confusing on how this happend, and the way it's being dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 The black pics they uploaded (9 I think on FB and 6 on Twitter) totally clear out their 'recent photos', so when you go on Twitter you'll only see black and when you look at recently uploaded on Facebook they'll just be black too, like a clear out. Making way for something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwinOkli Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well, advertising a new dark ride with darkness cannot be much of a surprise. Derren Brown has tweeted again, by the way: Something New is Brewing, Derren Brown, 2015, Choccy Dusting on Coffee rorycookie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The human mind is very powerful But that's what magic has always been. Optical illusions, mind tricks, science. "The hand is quicker than the eye", and all that jazz and showmanship.

JoshC. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 How long will it be until someone goes to a certain man's stage show and super analyses every fine detail of the show and try and relate it to Thorpe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I don't know whether this is the worst hype PR ever or the best.

Yeah that's true but of you compare that photo to his other coffee photos it's likely that he didn't take itThis is one of his others, a nice China mug on a real wood surface. The latest one is of a disposable cup on a grubby laminate surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet the accidental leak has caused a bit of a "quick we better announce it proper" movement... The Smiler's marketing was pretty great, even when they had to deal with the delays. I have a bit of faith considering the head of towers marketing is now head of resorts. Liam T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Can I just say the coffee pics are completely irrelevant apart from the last one. He tweets these out whilst touring. My favourite is the one entitled "Jizz" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mssmith Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Monday 9am is not an accident or a rush-job. The countdown was pointing towards that date for weeks. pluk and Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I swear it was countdown to when the clocks went back tonight/tomorrow? I might be wrong, but really thought it was for some reason..

JoshC. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think it was too actually. Maybe they've just pushed it back to Monday because it's easier for people working in marketing? OldFarmerDean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
