Subject: [Derren Brown] Re: Dog Track??
Mainly for Paulo
Thanks for the cold flame Paulo 8^)
Just to put your mind at ease. Yes, I'd love to know how he did the
Dog Track thing. BUT !!! I'm not going to loose any sleep over not
knowing. The members of the group are STILL coming up with many
plausable explainations. The problem being television is a very
deceptive medium. Unless we see him perform this live or unless he
actually tells us then I think we will be left with several
solutions, all quite possible.
The reason I joined the group is because I like what DB does. I
appreciate it from a purely entertainment point of view and from a
magicians naturally interested nature.
Hope this helps.
