diverdriver 5 #8 October 5, 2003 So this was a known illusionist. I seem to remember a guy who said he would catch a bullet with his mouth on That's Incredible. Course, everyone knew that the gun would go off. Hmmm.....Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyPsycho 0 #11 October 6, 2003 who are the morons with too much time on their hands that think this stoopit shit up. they need to get a life, its just a stunt. i highly doubt everyones gonna run out and try it, commit suicide, masculinly fondle their glamorous guns or become cool/depressed etc....... next theyll run the airing backwards for subliminal messages.............. ----------------------------------------------------------- A TELEVISED game of Russian roulette has been criticised as glamorising guns and making suicide sexy. Illusionist Darren Brown intends to play the potentially lethal gun game on British television this weekend. If the stunt goes wrong he risks death but the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy last night said the real danger arises if the stunt succeeds. The organisation claims it will send a subliminal message to young men that guns are glamorous, risk-taking is masculine, depression is cool and suicide is sexy. _______________________________ HK MP5SD.........silence is golden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaffreeflyer 0 #14 October 6, 2003 I saw whole of it last night and it's obvious not a trick at all. It was bloody hell scary to watched it and I was so relieved he didn't blew his head off! Copied from BT Openworld News:- http://www.btopenworld.com/news/topstories/0,,csn=646|csr=4201416,00.html QuoteA magician apparently "played" a deadly game of Russian roulette with a loaded pistol on a television show despite criticism the stunt could lead to copycats. The show by self-styled "psychological illusionist" Derren Brown was broadcast on Channel Four television, which said there would be a slight tape delay so transmission could be quickly ended if he blew his head off. Brown carried out his stunt in an unnamed foreign country on Sunday, since handguns are illegal in this country. A volunteer, picked by Brown from 12,000 hopefuls, put a bullet in one of the gun`s six chambers. Brown then said he was reading the volunteer`s mind to determine where the bullet was before putting the gun to his head. Twice Brown put the revolver to his head and squeezed the trigger. On the third shot the illusionist pointed the gun away and fired. The chamber was empty. After several minutes of silent contemplation Brown fired at his head and then quickly fired the live round into a wall of sandbags. Police had earlier labelled the stunt "deplorable" and called for the show to be stopped, saying there were fears someone might copy it. Britain has been shocked by a spate of gun attacks in the past week, including the fatal shooting of a jeweller in a family-run shop, the daylight machine-gunning of a man on a street and the shooting of three other men the following day. Channel Four and Brown denied the Russian roulette stunt was irresponsible. The illusionist said it was designed to show the dangers of guns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
