Derren brown uses psychology and your sub conscious to do most of his tricks, he doesn't pretend he can walk on water...

At no time does he cover the glass he just puts his hand on it and it melts at no point is he wearing a jacket either I have every episode on sky+.
On same episode how would he connect those shoe laces together.

The pane of glass was small enough to fit inside his jacket, he has it cut to the right size and pushes the whole pane on top of the original.
That's my guess anyway, could be some other material, but he definitley does not melt the original glass.

It is not something that will be used, it is there because the IOC insist on it, same as the traffic lanes.
If a plane has to be taken out it will be done with fighter jets.

I saw someone on TV wrap a pig in a blanket and set it alight. It burnt slowly but completely, apart from the feet and head which were outside the blanket.
It seems to be less common since open fires and smoking have become less common.

How about the glass display unit that had the trainer in it? The supposed heat left a supposed melted hand print.........

Banks being shown to be dishonest and untrustworthy is not going to sway the public towards cashless systems that require banks.

It is probably your light bulb.
I had a lightbulb in a side light once that ticked as it cooled down, it stopped as soon as you switched the light on again to see what was making the noise.

I saw the trick where he seems to leave a building by crawling through the window.
He obviously leaves by ducking behind the doorman and going out the door, moves along to the front of the window and stands up. People outside the window maintain their gaze on the window as this happens and look surprised. These people are stooges. The doorman is a stooge. The people inside the building holding a coat in front of the window are stooges.

The melting glass with his hand trick would impress me if he did it on a large pane of glass, not a piece small enough to hide inside your jacket (hint)

Ed your blowing my mind all sense of fantasy and wonder is being taken over by regimented toughts and darkness.
Wheres that little boy who thought that every time he said he didnt believe a fairy died and furiously clapped to bring them back to life.


No but seriously paid stooges I always wondered with some of his tricks and then if some are fake begs the question all must.

The trick where he is supposed to get the tax disc out of the car windscreen. Really simple. A small heat pad on the hand. The tax disc adhesive becomes unstuck and the disc will just drop off down the dashboard. (Check the car, there is always a slight drop on the dashboard at the front, and also the camera angle is always head on with the vehicle so you cannot see) The one problem is, when he turns to the camera with a copy of said tax disc, it is in his palm facing the wrong way ( i.e, the front of the tax disc should actually be facing his palm rather than facing away. Simple camera angle and hand movement.

My mate is a magician and i was telling him how good i thought Dynamo was and he said
he was only doing simple tricks with bigger production and budget. He also said about paying stooges and clever editing and camera angles on tv. To clear things up I still think he's awesome {Ed001's Note - he is very good, it is like the difference between Messi and a pub league player. Messi does the same things, he just does them better, but he is still essentially doing the exact same thing.}

But you don't have any sort of proof at all Ed, you can't just say any good magician would. You can speculate, but you can't say he does for sure. {Ed001's Note - oh for god's sake, my grandad was a stage magician, the tricks he did are the same ones Dynamo is doing now. They are just a lot more flashy these days. It is not speculation, I fear for anyone without the mental capacity to realise that the tricks involve stooges and sleight of hand and illusion, not reality.}
