Derren Brown "Only Human". King's Theatre, Glasgow. Thursday 1st May, 2025


The show theme is about how the human mind relates to probabilities and predictions (and how it can be manipulated). 
Spoilers prevent me from detailing anything that occurred. 
He was mind-bogglingly clever. I had no clue how he pulled off some of the predictions. 

Props:
Laughing gas canisters.
A4 cards, yellow on one side, green on the other. He knows what we'll pick.
Divining rods.
Phones.
A five-pound note.
Electric shock equipment.
Playing cards.
Photographs.
Smarties.
Audience suggestions on coloured post-it notes.
A suit of a particular colour.

Before the show, he played videos of people for whom previous predictions had come true, three separate things manifesting in one place at one time.

The message was that if you tell humans the future, they'll seek out the signs to confirm the prediction. Nostradamus would be spinning in his grave.   
 





Ticket Price: £45 x 2 (Grand Circle Row E) plus £3.95 Transaction Fee = £93.95

  1. Watched this show in Southend, what a shame as its nowhere near as good as his previous shows. Where is Andy Nyman when you need him.
