A few days ago my mum's friend asked my mum to look after her son
for a few hours. The reason why, is because my mum's friend was going to see a
Derren Brown show, and she needed someone to look after her son. My mum then
teasingly said to me, "Aren't you jealous?" (I love watching Derren
Brown shows.)
When my mum's friend got back, she told us that she had extra
tickets, which she explained, she had booked for the wrong day, and couldn't
get a refund for. She then, offered us
the tickets. Unfortunately my mum couldn't take me, and my sister was too
young to go. Fortunately, my dad could take me (And he was old enough to go.) So
we took the tickets. We were then told by my mum’s friend that the only thing
she could tell us about the show was that it was amazing. She couldn’t tell us
anything else for fear of spoiling it. I can only agree with her that it is
amazing, and say nothing else, for fear of spoiling it.
Actually, I can say more than that – just nothing too specific
about what was in the show.
Here are the things I can say:
1.
I
think one of the best bits of all shows
is when they begin. Before that you’re just waiting and wondering in the dark
of the theatre (Perhaps getting a bit bored) which makes the beginning extra
exciting. This was definitely true for the Derren Brown show I went to.
2.
It
was really cool.
3.
Two
was sort of boring
4.
I
think he might have been planting things in our minds from the moment we
stepped into the theatre (Maybe even before.) Perhaps just subtle things like a
golden banister instead of a silver one, mirrors in certain places, the
language used to advetise the show, certain colours of carpet or lighting etc,
5.
He
actually seems quite nice in real life. In the shows he just has this poker
face all the time and is really confident. In real life he has more
personality.
6.
My
dad got me a milkshake on the way there.
7.
The
show is a mixture of different tricks, not one main thing.
8.
There
are plenty of surprises.
