Shooting yourself in the head (on TV)

is it a joke? (September 2003)

I've known about the "russian roulette" attempt by Derren Brown on Channel 4 for a while but assumed it was going to be pre-recorded to avoid any accidents which may occur being broadcast, however I saw the trailer last night for the show which claims it will be live.

Is this a fix (i.e. either he definitely won't shoot his brains out, or there's a big delay on the feed) or is it for real because I swear there must be something against it.

But at least this performer doesn't come across as a complete moron Smile

please shed light on this if you can!

Just like Blaine, it's all a pile of crap. Having said that he's gonna go blow his brains out now isn't he... Shocked

For goodness sake, even he acknowledges the fact he isn't going to try to shoot himself - he uses illusions and psychological trickery. He'd be the first to admit it.

I'd be *very* suprised if there wasn't some kind of delay on it; if only one of 10secs, or something...
