This is a video that Derren Brown just by asking and can take someones wallet, mobile phone and watch.
Derren Victor Brown is an english magician, psychological illusionist, mentalist, painter and self-professed sceptic regarding paranormal phenomena. He is a unique force in the world of illusion - he can seemingly predict and control human behaviour.He doesn't claim to be a mind-reader, instead he describes his craft as a mixture of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. Whatever you choose to call it, his unparalleled performances amaze and unsettle all those who watch him. This is a powerful and provocative form of entertainment, unlikely to be imitated for a long while.
It has been suggested that many of his routines are simply standard magic tricks, and that no suggestion, hypnosis or other 'mind control' techniques are ever actually used. By his own admission, Brown uses 'magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship'. One feature of Brown's television and live shows is that he often appears to show the audience how a particular effect was used - often by placing words or pictures into a subject's mind with submliminal gestures or language. Some have suggested that it is these explanations which are at the very heart of Brown's misdirection, that, by making the audience feel it knows how the trick is being achieved, he is able to hide the true methods by which the magical effects are created.
Many magicians take the view that, regardless of how his effects are achieved, Brown is a brilliantly skilled and entertaining performer. However, the criticism persists that, Brown is not just tricking but lying to his audience. While he may not claim to have psychic powers, he does claim to be using psychological techniques rather than simple parlour tricks, stooges and judicious editing.
