Derren BrownEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In this repeat transmission, Derren Brown explains how he's spent his career making the impossible seem plausible, and the plausible seem impossible — and has strong feelings about a particular spatula, which is somehow equally interesting. Derren Brown is a master illusionist, mentalist, and bestselling author renowned for performances that blur the line between magic, psychology, and human perception, and for a career spent pushing the boundaries of what audiences think they know about their own minds. What a career built on the gap between what people believe and what's actually happening has taught him The craft of magic — and why suggestion and storytelling often matter more than technique A youthful shoplifting confession at Harrods — and how he frames it now Why the unreliability of memory is one of the most fascinating and unsettling things about being human Connect with Derren here: Instagram Facebook YouTube Find us on social media — links on the About page.

In this episode Damian chats to Derren Brown about his new show Only Human which plays The Stockton Globe! Stuart chats to Peter Dixon about the Saturday Sessions, a showcase of great comedy, taking place in Barnard Castle. He also chats to Councillor Jill Campbell on her love on running and her raising cash for Teesdale Day Clubs.

Did you know only one third of people who have listened to Derren Brown’s first episode have actually listened to his second half? We’ve stitched Derren Brown’s most-listened-to conversation into one seamless, ad-free cut and let the craft speak. Across two years of touring, decades of creating, and countless experiments with audience psychology, Derren lays out eight pieces that still earn their place on stage and why they matter: Card At Any Number that puts agency first, a watch stolen and revealed in a sock, a key routine that pays off at your front door, and the Oracle Q&A that proves presence beats method. We dive into the showstopper card-to-box sequence that made entire theatres miss a moment in time, then relive it on screen. Derren shares how he designed content warnings that protected vulnerable audience members without blunting the effect, and why responsible mentalism starts long before showtime. He also revisits an ESP match-up that scales beautifully, a three-card table routine that functions as an act-in-a-pocket, and coin-in-hand as the perfect opener because it feels like a game you’ve played forever. Threaded through it all: improvisation, pacing, tone, and a serious embrace of failure as a tool for making performances human. Along the way, you’ll hear practical insights on stagecraft, participant care, and scripting; why content beats cleverness; how to build moments that breathe beyond the trick; and how writing during a tour sharpens a show. Derren’s book, Notes from a Fellow Traveller, surfaces as a field guide to touring and performance ethics, while he teases a long-awaited mentalism release from Ted Karmilovich that has everyone excited. Stream this special re-release, share it with a friend, and tell us: which of Derren’s eight would make your forever list?

Mislaid your keys or flummoxed as to why you’ve gone upstairs? In this Audible Original Podcast Derren Brown and a whole bevvy of experts unravel the mysteries of memory to help you better understand how it functions and to improve your powers of recall. Over the course of eight episodes they combine cutting edge scientific research with powerful real-life stories and entertaining memory tests. And Derren unveils a variety of simple techniques to help you build a better memory. Episode 1: Memory – A Will Of Its Own Our memory is a creative, rather than a mechanical process so we shouldn’t be surprised at its lack of precision. Memory is not a single brain function but a series of processes which evolved for different purposes and which don’t always work in harmony. So even the clearest of memories are invariably flawed, unreliable…and often downright false.

We'll delve into ethical boundaries and the emotional depths of magic, including a deeply moving story of a fan seeking a connection with a deceased loved one. Prepare to be captivated by the intricate dynamics of tricks like the Oracle Act and the ESP matchup, where theatrical flair meets audience impact.

Hear firsthand how tonal shifts and logistical challenges, like performing on Broadway, can shape a show. Discover cult plot's created by Derren like the "coin in hand," all while understanding the significance of spectators as active participants rather than mere props.

Listen to compelling stories of on-stage mishaps, such as a pen lid getting stuck, which transformed into unforgettable moments of authenticity.

Derren Brown is one of our leading conjurers, specializing in mentalism, the illusion of reading people’s minds. I interviewed him for my Channel 4 TV documentary, Enemies of Reason. We talked about cold reading and how the technique is used by frauds who pretend to communicate with the dead, as well as by honest conjurers. Derren himself is an honest conjurer and a sharp critic of charlatans who abuse their skills, lucratively pretending to supernatural powers, which of course, they don’t have. I have just listened to the interview again, and I must say I find it one of the more interesting interviews I have done. See if you agree. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Predicting the lottery, playing Russian roulette on live TV and tricking people into robbing a security van in broad daylight. These are just a few of the stunts that Derren Brown has performed in over 20 years of pushing the boundaries of the believable.

My first guest for Season 12 is mind-blowing in the truest sense of the word. Derren Brown has had a 20-year television and stage career, during which he has deployed magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship with extraordinary - and sometimes - controversial results. He played Russian roulette live on screen. He predicted the results of the National Lottery. He convinced law-abiding citizens to rob a bank. He's also a painter and bestselling author. All of the facets of his career have been linked by his intense curiosity about human nature. His new release, A Book of Secrets, considers the value of difficulty in our lives so, yes, he's PERFECT for How To Fail! He joins me to talk about failed driving tests, social anxiety and what failing on stage has taught him about life.

“Live in the moment” is more than a quote displayed on decorative throw pillows. For Derren Brown, it’s his motto for life -- a mindset and lifestyle he’s adapted from the Greek stoics. Derren is a mentalist and illusionist, star of Netflix’s ‘The Push’, and the best-selling author of ‘Happy’. In today’s wide-ranging conversation, Derren joins host Vicky Nisbet, AVP of Comms & Media at Salesforce UK, to discuss practical tips for “living in the moment” and what he thinks is the key to lasting happiness. Plus, he shares what we often get wrong about goal setting and uncovers ways that quarantine has unlocked opportunities for us to reconnect with our inner selves.

Derren Brown has written several best-selling books and – a first in the history of magic – has toured with eight sell-out one-man stage shows. He wrote the brilliant and candid book "Happy," which aims to reclaim happiness and enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory. By taking control of the stories we tell ourselves, by remembering that 'everything's fine' even when it might not feel that way, we can allow ourselves to flourish and live more happily. In this episode, Derren discusses his work on the psychology and philosophy of well-being. Moderated by Googler Matt Brittin. Visit YouTube.com/TalksatGoogle to watch the video.
