The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

they said it was live, but it was actually recorded a couple of hours before hand (according to the bbc news anyway) - so we all knew fine well channel 4 wouldnt of shown a man blowing his head off on tv.

Yet it was still nerve racking to watch... I couldnt sit still.

I did come to the idea that he might blow is head off on tv, but in actual fact it was only a stunt and then there would be mystery sourrounding wheter or not he was dead... bit like david blaine and his ear, but rather more exciting.

The Chamber 5, I believe, was more for effect. It was just too add some drama, otherwise it would have been so quick. This way it was far more emotive to watch. But I didn't get that bothered, people just aren't allowed to show that on tv live.

maybe that could be Derrens next stunt. Live Russian Roulette on David Blaine.

I was just justifying to mcqueen why I thought Derren had got it wrong and wasn't building tension. As MC said, he was almost in tears during that 90 seconds.

surely a combination of the 2 tricks would work

have derren brown firing a loaded gun at Blaine's box, but in this case trying to pick the chamber the bullet is actually in....

(note: I know david's beaten me to this post but I can't delete it)

Isn't it perspex anyway. Is that just as tough as bullet proof glass?

You think? You sure he didn't fire 5 to make you think he'd got it wrong so was taking a bigger risk carrying on, building the tension?

Moz wrote:No, he got it wrong and was wondering what the hell he was going to do next.


So him firing 5 to make you think he'd got it wrong worked.

He had it narrowed down to 5 or 1. He thought it was 5, wondered how no bullet coming out would affect his career, then just rushed through the rest to get it over with.

Not really, he said he wouldn't fire if he wasn't 100% sure, so he just skipped 5. It was still 50/50 as to wether or not he got shot, not a risk I'd like to take.

Yeah, I wouldn't have liked to fire one chamber of a gun at my head never mind all five, so he's a braver man than I.

He might be on the show today, though it's yet to be confirmed.

cant believe i missed the start of never mind the buzzcocks for that. i actually said number 5 when he put it in. i was wrong like derren (who looks less weird now).

Good to know, thanks!
