Re: Derren Brown - Control The Nation, who is going to do it
It's a psychological effect, D Brown's team set the willing audience in the studio, tests, they determine the type of pyschi they need and gather them together.
Now, combine this with Brown's very big knowledge of what he does and an audience who are all in the same 'kettle of fish' i.e. easy to sway and manipulate. Brown has a captive audience who he can 'control', in some sense.
It's pure science, he knows how to flip a switch in certain people's minds. Along with his many years of training in what he does, very clever man, also, he is a figure head for people who are into this line of 'work'. The mere suggestion of his name can make an avid follower do something, without a single thought.
