    I haven't watched Derren Brown in so long. I am so glad I always come back to his videos over the years.

    26:38 physicist here! You can tell that this is a blank as performers can fake recoil, but they can’t fake impulse and jerk “change in acceleration”) This changes nothing about how awesome Darren Brown is and how good this performance is. Just wanted to point something out for everybody looking for tiny details about how this was done. (Guaranteed you’re probably not even close to the right answer!)

      Thank you for your information, I appreciate it anyway. Yes, also it does nothing to diminish Derren, or his craft and his amazing ability....

      Knowing british health and safety rules, they would never have allowed a real bullet anyways

      Oh, also, blanks fired from real firearms are extraordinarily lethal when fired close to the head.
      HOWEVER, the type of blank firing revolver they are using has a plugged barrel. The hot explosive gas is thus expelled outward in the space between the cylinder and the barrel, leading to a characteristic “loud clap” sound of disc-shaped explosions rather than the “loud pop-crack” sound made by explosions radiating out of a tube with a supersonic projectile.
      These types of theatrical blank firing guns CAN be held against the head and fired without injuring the performer. If you think about why this is the case long enough, you’ll discover why every single pyrotechnic-powered “gunshot to the head at point blank” effect in every single stage play ever made and in every single movie/TV show prior to the 1990s REQUIRED the use of a revolver and not an automatic.
      Darren isn’t lying when he says “I won’t pull the trigger unless I’m confident it won’t kill me!”

      @@ggor06 yep! Nor a real gun firing blanks without a VERY expensive permit process like they use for movies that shoot in the UK and need “camera-ready” blank-firing weapons.
      The type of prop they’re using is what you rent when you’re doing a stage play. They are exclusively revolvers and they have plugged barrels. They are also physically impossible to modify into a projectile firing weapon.

      Spot on. I think the revolver is a blank gun as well and not just the ammunition. The gasses escaped from the sides of the cylinder too much and not the end of the Barrell. Actual firearm Revolvers do let a bit of the gas escape from the sides of the cylinder but most of it is propelled down the Barrell, anyone with an understanding of firearms would have spotted this, Derren Brown is still amazing.

    I used to think this revolver load was fake. But when I see Derrens body language he is heavy breathing as if in distress. It is as if it is all real. So it seems like as if he really could be relying on the guys voice. That is freaky. Derren has some guts doing this.

    Please don't compare The amazing Derren Brown with "Geller".... Even as you implied that they were both equally very popular, or similar?
    Geller was a fraud IMO?

    Even though the bullets where blanks, and as disturbing as it was to watch Derren put a gun to his head and fire what I truly found disturbing was the fact Derren has a pickled monkey in a jar in his home as some kind of ornament, how creepy, it's the sort of item a serial killer would collect.
