Participant. A participant is active, a part of the process, and a necessary component of the magical experience. This is how it should be. No magic happens unless the participant perceives it as magical, so she can never be a mere spectator.

My Book Notes

Brown's first two books were intended for magicians; they were written before his fame. He has said that he pulled them from the market when he found that non-magicians would bring them to his shows for autographs. He says he felt bad because, "...they're spending a lot of money on those things and...if they wanted to find out how I was doing the TV shows it wasn't really answering that question." [82]

In part 1, Brown uses the cover of a drug trial to convince various members of the public to overcome their fears using "Rumyodin" (your mind). In part 2, Brown convinces various people that they are having supernatural experiences, to the point of convincing an atheist they are having a religious experience I deeply, and widely, believe that performance is a very personal affair, and that one must pursue one’s own sense of integrity and remain a little detached from advice and precedent offered by tradition. And, as an influential celebrity, Brown has made appearances in films, including Medium Rare and Crooked House, as well as a television special Comedy Gala.

Pushed to the Edge – a television special where he used social coercion to convince Chris Kingston to push someone off a building. Much ado about an average book, and too much card work and futile linguistic flourishes for what is supposed to be "Direct Mind Reading". Part I includes Mr. Brown's interesting thoughts on mentalism, invisible compromises, anchoring etc. Part II is only devoted to card techniques (totally useless if you don't do cards), Part III are mainly effects with - guess what - cards.

The Heist – a television special where he used conditioning to convince 4 people to commit armed robbery.In 2007, BBC News listed two of his shows ( Russian Roulette and Seance) in a list of examples of Channel 4's "legacy of controversy". [17] In 2013, he said, "Controversy has never interested me for its own sake. It's always been about doing stuff that feels dramatic." [18] In 2008, Brown made a guest acting appearance in BBC Four's Crooked House as Sir Roger Widdowson. [90] Some people like to talk of intuition as a way of knowing truth; that gut reactions are as good as evidence based facts. It’s a really silly way of thinking...
