He obviously didn't think it was, it was all bollocks to drag out a program for the sake of some shitty computer edited reveal.
He knew exactly what he was doing and that's why it sucked. It lacked any real intelligence.
Same as when he made that other one where he reckoned he'd have us all unable to get out of our chairs. That was literally the biggest wind up going.
I love Derren Brown but sometimes it's like he's laughing at the fact he can make such obvious bullshit programs and people lap it up like he's an actual magician. Yeah, he's the first to say he's not, but in some of his stuff it's not even clever. It's just a time waste.
