How cool... I just spent half an hour watching other Derren Brown videos... Have a look at the Car crash ones if you have free time... :)

Do what? Cold reading? Or spending too long on youtube?

Do the Trick in the car crash video. If you watch it it will make heaps of sense.

I think they already spent to long on youtube :-P :lol:

It'd definitely have an effect on them - if they ever drive again... ;)

Well from our point of view "if they don't drive they can't crash"

Excellent point...
