Also been doing a bit of digging and found someone who has purportedly been to an audition for one of DB's experiments in the past. He says this about informed consent. Derren Brown has done many shows like this. You apply to be on the show as I have and on the application it says you must...

One year I had some chavvy teen types come to door. They said 'trick or treat?' And I answered with 'I'll have a treat please!" Which got a lot of odd looks. They turned to each other and one then said 'Nah, don't work like that.' I replied with 'You said trick or treat and I've decided on...

Would disagree with the less and less though. Each year we get more and more. Tends to be small children with their parents though. I give the kids sweets and tell the parents to fook off and buy their own.

Same thing. Only ever had trick or treat actually on 31st October. Same as Jesus only comes round at Christmas.

Well, she is blonde, slim, 5ft 8" and has a clockwork wiggle. But has a face like a donkey. Last time she came round for tea I just offered her a bowl of carrots.

Did I say it wasn't?

Fingers crossed from me.

And that's just the husband! ;)

Be nice if we were much higher up the league come Christmas.

He's been doing it for years. In The Heist he had someone running round with a gun holding up a security van. And in the airline one he had this guy believing he had a land a plane full of passengers and that everyone's life was in his hands. I did think this bloke in this one reacted rather...

3. Yeah, we're a bit skint, but somehow do have the money to buy half the stadium.

Wasn't meaning it to be Dear Deidre or a soap opera. Just thought it was a story that needed to be told. I am keeping well out of it all, though my wife has been giving moral support to the wife from the end of a phone. The woman in Poland was an ex girlfriend, so could be he was trying to...

Fair enough. Not having a go at you here but why did no-one say anything about informed consent when he did his bank robbery show or his seance show or his show about the guy believing he was landing a plane at 30,000 feet etc.? He's been doing these kinds of shows for 13 years. Why only now...

There are a few of these posts about from people who took part. One example. I find this all hilarious! I was an extra in the filming of apocalypse, and I was even in the very same audition as Steve and saw for my own eyes that he was definitely not an actor! I am not an actress, but they...

So all his shows are a fraud then? That what you are saying? Haven't seen the consent forms of course, but surely they must state that you agree to take part in an experiment that includes hypnotism and mind control etc. Whatever. There is an experiment and you allow Derren Brown the full...

You wouldn't say that f you saw them, the parents. Articulate and intelligent and come across really well. Well spoken, friendly. It's just a chemistry thing. Like mixing Thermite and Liquid Nitrogen! Harmless enough by themselves, but together an explosion waiting to happen! As for the kids...

Indeed. :facepalm:

I always find excuses for my little un not to go round. They are a pair of little terrors. Last time she played with them one of them poked her in the eye with a stick. I do not care for the kids at all.

Which is why they would have all signed the consent forms at the audition stage. No point having someone pass the audition and then not give consent. They would have got consent at audition stage for all the would be participants.
