I just had my mind blown by Derren Brown. Not physically blown, and not in person, but I did just watch one of his shows on the tele and it did metaphorically blow my mind. For those of you who don't know, Derren Brown is this man and according to wikipedia he is a "psychological illusionist" which basically mean he does magic tricks. Now, I am a sucker for magic or illusions or whatever it is they call it and I especially love the head-splodingness of the small scale trickery performed by Dynamo. Dynamo is a small man from Birmingham who can make cards move without touching them and put phones into glass bottles. Just writing that makes it seem less awesome than it is so to back up its awesomeness I shall insert here a link to this video. Some of that is straight up witchcraft. 300 years ago I would have been gathering wood on with to burn his sorcerous body on instead of writing a praising blog. However, its not just the small british magician I have a fondness for, Penn and Teller, a duo I'm sure our American readers are familiar with, are also amongst my favorite magic acts. I prefer the larger and often morbid style of their works, involving finding a card by stabbing it through someone's hand or this one, in which Teller dies. That video also has John Cleese, if that makes it more appealing.
Im done now, I'll see you another time bbz xx
