Full Trailer for Derren Brown’s New Special Apocalypse

Derren Brown_ Apocalypse | 26th October | Channel 4 - YouTube.jpg

One of the most popular clips of Derren Brown’s mischevious work featuring him putting a dude playing a First Person Shooter zombie arcade game in trance, wheeling him to an abandoned warehouse, putting a paint ball gun in his hand and having a hoard of zombies come at him as his game literally becomes real to him.

Here is the clip:

So for his next special, it looks like Derren is taking that concept to the next level. He is going to convince one man that the world had ended and it looks like zombies have something to do with it.

It’s called Apocalypse and it airs on Channel 4 in the UK on October 26th.

    COME ON iTRICKS, for once lets be totally honest? Is this the biggest piece of BS?
    He claims he’s just waiting for someone to play the game. This “total stranger” comes in, a few flashes on the screen, he “WITHOUT PERMISSION”, takes over the guys life. They wheel him away, “WITHOUT PERMISSION”. I guess by coincidence, the two other “STRANGERS” just go along with the whole thing. If this was anywhere near real, Browne would be in jail with a big lawsuit. How gullible do we have to be to watch something so ridiculous? This doesn’t even belong on a magic site, it’s not magic, mentalism, it’s just a staged farce.
