- Title: Derren Brown: The Gathering
- Date: 29th May 2005
- Summary: Prepare for plenty of Derren Brown's brand of magic and mind games in this specially-made recording of a live show shot in a mystery location in front of an invited audience of magic experts and celebrity fans. This one-hour fusion of magic, suggestion, psychology and misdirection gives the cynics the chance to decide: is Derren a fraud or should he be burnt at the stake? Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Reece Shearsmith and Jean Christophe Novelli are just some of Derren's subjects chosen at random from an audience that also includes Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Al Murray, Sarah Alexander and Rupert Penry-Jones. As Derren says: "I've always loved performing live and of course it gives people a chance to see that everything's fair. The audience will be made up of interested parties: some famous faces, some psychics, magicians, psychologists and so on. Part of the fun of it for me is having very little control over who I use on stage: the volunteers will all be randomly selected from the unprepared audience. It's not something I've done on TV before, although it is a taste of what I do on tour. Hopefully it will be a very memorable evening for all concerned."
