Derren Brown - Chess

Post by Cardinal Sin »

I'm quite a fan of this chap. The beauty of this trick is he shows you how he does it at the end - but at the same time leaves you completely perplexed about how he does the final bit.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thats was the most OBVIOUS trick I've ever seen him do, within the first five seconds I thought; 'hes not going to just mimick thir moves is he!?' and concluded he wouldnt cos it was too obvious and the GMs would work it out in a second, but he duly DID.

The last bit I wouldnt know; but im guessing he had to do something reasonably good to make it less shit.
