Mind-reader,
psychological magician, and all round spooklord, Derren scared the
shit out of us at Born Sloppy this week. People ran screaming from
the room as he read Sara's mind and extracted a childhood memory from
Jodie Kidd's brain.
He's got a new series on Channel4 at the end of Feb and a
couple of live shows where he'll be "playing real Russian Roulette
with members of the public". Don't sit near the front.
