Hi folks. I'm very interested in tricks where a number is forced upon someone. A good example of this is with Derren Brown (the clip is on youtube). He gets three people to think of numbers and another to tot them up. he touches nothing and when sumed up it equals the date. just how you does this baffles me. He does a similar one where they all say numbers and he even has the nerve to say "subtract 3 from the number you've thought of" before she's even said it. Then goes on to correctly predict 121. even if he switched and palmed a different list of numbers, they said them out loud plus he doesnt touch it. Derren can't be the only person in the world to know this. I'm not interested in the stooges theory, and I dont think he's influencing them subconciencly or if he is I've never been given anysort of explaination the bloke doesnt need to... its trickery and showmanship! Also I'm interested in anyother mind reading tricks... all are welcome no matter how daft you may think they are.

Just look at the (complete) clip again. Derren almost always shows how he did it. No I did not say explain I said show. Look at the clip from his advertisement a few times and be baffeled by how he did it.
Or even 'worse', look at this one:

You can see how he makes somebody think he wants something to the degree he even forgets what he really wanted....confusing? It is.
