On Friday 13th of April (a very appropriate date!) Derren Brown launched his new TV show ‘Trick or Treat’.

The show is the latest in a long line of controversial yet brilliant series starring Derren including ‘Trick of the Mind’ the shocking ‘Russian Roulette’ and the much complained about ‘Seance’ show where he managed to set up a fake seance and convince all its participants they were witnessing paranormal phenomena.

It has become the third most complained about show ever and judging by the first episode of his new ‘Trick of Treat’ series on Friday this could be just as controversial.

Trick or Treat’s first episode aired on Friday 13th and as usual it definitely didn’t disappoint!

Derren sets out to shock and amaze his audiences and that’s exactly what he does in this first show.

After giving TV’s ‘The league of gentlemen’ a lesson in Fate and Destiny involving Swiss rolls laced with razorblades none the less, Derren moved on to his big challenge; making a man fall asleep in a photo booth in England and wake up in the same Photo booth half way around the world. Scary stuff! The poor guy literally looked as though he was going to pass out with shock when he woke up in a completely different country.

Whilst we can never be 100% sure that the whole thing wasn’t staged, Derren Brown’s ability to use his highly developed skills of Magic and Mind Control is so impressive you just can’t help but find yourself amazed and enthralled by what he does, and his shows make for truly compulsive viewing.

Rumour has it that ‘Trick or Treat’ is going to get even more shocking as the series progresses, so don’t forget to tune in every Friday night for the next 6 weeks or so and see for yourself if it truly does live up to the hype!
