I was actually metaphorically hiding behind the sofa at the time, so didn't see it, but people have been saying he either cheated or actually messed up a bit. They're talking about it on the radio, but I don't understand what they're trying to say!

 Glad you asked. I'd like to find out,too.

 He fired five chambers and made one wrong guess, but fortunately for him it was firing an empty chamber away from him rather than the loaded one into his head. The other shots, three empty into his head and the crucial loaded one into a sandbag, were all right guesses.
However he did it, it was damn sight more interesting than David Blaine.

 I must admit I was forunate to turn over just atthe right time and saw the whole thing. I was entertained, well actually I am not sure if it was entertainment or something else but it certainly helped me spend ten minutes of my time.
I can't decide if the 'wrong guess' and then subsiquent pause and puzzled look was all for show or genuine. Whatever it was, it did add to the suspense somewhat, and I have to agree with Milo that it was a damn sight more entertaining then 'sitting in a box boy Blaine'.

Fcking nutter. That takes some serious guts. Or brains... which ever way you look at it I guess. Not a trick to try twice.
To steal an old Nirvana joke -
"So, Mrs Brown, that's interesting wallpaper you have in your house. Did your son do the decorating?"

Battle of the magicians - Celebrity deathmatch anyone?!
|
|
So, earlier on, he fired an empty at the bag, then went back to pulling the trigger with it against his head?
And when he was down to the last two, he fired the empty at his head then the round at the bag straightaway?
|
|
 Quite honestly, who really gives a f*ck?
I'm so glad I've been away from all this "Celeb Lifestyle" and "Reality TV" cr@p for a while, it is truly embarrassing

Oh, great CTs back and being an arse straight away.
Bugger off if you're not interested CT. We are.
|
|
And another thing I haven't missed......
|
|
 Celebrity magician deathmatch sounds good, though Blain would struggle on two counts.
1: He's BARELY a magician.
2: He'll be so weak from not eating he couldn't live his arms to fight...
|

Thing is Blaine was a bloody good magician at first. His card tricks are the best I've ever seen!
Then he found he could get more fame & fortune through doing stoopid stuff, like sitting in a box :(

 ok so the gun against the head thing.
my guess is that it was a cartridge air pistol. cant tell from the outside, fires little darts to make the water come out the bag with extra load cartridges.
their is no way that the that gun was load enigh or with enough kick to have been fireing a live bullet, also the bag would have been letting out a lot more water if it had been hit with a bullet.

 He did seem genuinely nervous about it all, Especially when the guy was loading the gun.
I think the 'mistake' was deliberate, he knew that it wasn't in that chamber, it was to make you think he was agonising over whether to risk dying to avoid looking a fool
|
|
 CT, I couldn't agree more!!
|
|
 Wecome home CT.

Cheers, Pat!
Morning all! Sweet trails out there, I think I'll pen a pice about it for BM, so watch this space
|
|
Wasn't it sand in the bag?
MK - and you wouldn't be nervous? Not even a little??
|
|
 There was little recoil fromt he gun but it was only a .22 and blanks and what have you will still take your head off.
I was impressed - not so much by the trick which whilst good was just a mite risky - more by his sort of mind reading, knowledge of people and the way they behaved.
He should have done the trick on the banks of the thames and fired the live round at a perspex box!
|

Derren's whole performance throughout the selection process was amazing, I thought. I especially like the 'coloured chairs' bit, and the 'guess the word bit' when he was choosing the final person.
Nice sense of humour running through the whole thing to, something Blaine rather lacks
