BRIEFLY AS WELL. >> James: YES, I DID. >> THANK YOU. >> James: OH MY GOSH, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN. HOW DID YOU-- I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY -- DARREN BROWN, EVERYBODY. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE PUSH ON
NETFLIX, IT'S AMAZING. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
CHARLIZE THERON, JOEL EDGERTON
I enjoy all of his specials. the push is just a rehash of one of his old british series though. Hopefully enough watch it that Netflix will fund more stuff of his.
Alright, I'll bite: anyone wanna jump into the comments and explain mentalism?
This is my guess. The glass Derren eats is real, but he hides it under his tongue and instead crunches on something else he already had in his mouth. The glass he gives to James is fake, he dropped it onto the cloth when he adjusted it.
Dunno about the mind reading at the end... Could just be pretend.
