description: "Derren Brown is an English mentalist, illusionist, and writer. He is a self-described \"psychological illusionist\" whose acts are often designed to expose the methods of those who claim to possess supernatural powers, such as faith healers and mediums. His live performances, which incorporate audience participation and comedy, often include statements describing how his effects are achieved through a combination of psychology, showmanship, magic, misdirection, and suggestion."
