    What a class act. Derren's atheism is (unnecessarily) well documented, yet he is never disparaging about people of faith and is always very careful to be respectful of others' beliefs when asked about religion. Never mind the fact that he is an unbelievably talented magician, hypnotist, performer/entertainer, painter, impressionist, comic... the list is almost endless. At least he sucks at sport, although he'd probably be an incredible athlete too if he so chose.

    I always say: “if you haven’t had hardship yet, then live a little longer!”
    And indeed, hardship, pain however you want to call it, makes you appreciate things far more.
    After my little brother died, I am actively visiting and talking to my parents more and really loving every moment we have together. Knowing that we spend as much time as we could when one of us eventually dies. Unlike with my brother we were like: we are young we’ve for time, so it’s normal and you don’t cherish it as much. But we should and hardship will give that as a gift in return.

    I'd say magic exists in the sense that human intelligence is finite so as science learns more about the universe there will eventually come a time when there are things that happen that science simply cannot explain because humanity cannot comprehend it. That for all intents and purposes is the essence of magic. So while there may be a reasonable physical explanation that explanation would simply have to be so complex that the human brain is simply not capable of understanding it.

      You can also just change your mind. A good hypnotist won't make you stay (though I did see one hypnotist who coerced someone into staying, which is the mark of a dickish hypnotist). Also, if you don't want to be hypnotized, then you won't be.

    I found it. Some interfered to stop me. I was stronger. The thing they didn't know about me, I trained to defeat god for many years. I was becoming the god of war. I wasn't quite that day, but still stronger than them. They kinda managed to make me forget a few things about me. I lost my memory for few weeks. I was in very bad shape, dying almost. Not the best experience. And with each passing day I remembered who I am. They had no chance against me anymore. Today I'm both, the god of war and the king of hell. I was able to push away higher beings and aliens. They were nothing. Magic is very real. Just know some out there don't want you to know that. Fortunately for you, they're so scared of me, they're no longer here to stay in your way. I wrote a book which by the way is completely free. Should you understand it, it will open you the doors to magic and more. Not instantly, but over some years you will begin to change. Don't forget to share! And one more thing, I'm on no one's side. I see myself as a pirate. I have my own way. I'm not evil and not good.

    God is the creative force that generates the universe
    The laws of physics (whatever they happen to be) are the creative forces that generate the universe

      To say the laws of physics are God is a silly as saying the natural universe is God. God is the Creator, not the created. The laws of physics do not create, though they are the means God has ordained for the natural world.
      These answers were disappointing. Either one religion is absolutely true and the rest are all wrong, or all are wrong. So I urge you to consider the Person of Jesus of Nazareth and how perfectly He fulfils the revelation of the Scriptures known as the Old Testament, what He has done, and what He has said.

    I received a scientific education to the doctoral level. I was a complete materialist, science was the only way to discover the nature of the world. I would have rejected any suggestion of supernatural events or magic. One day, however, as I walked through the kitchen door while my wife was washing eggs, something happened. She had arranged the eggs on a dish towel next to the sink, about 30 eggs. As I walked through the door, one of those eggs decided it was time to move across the towel, over the rim of the sink, and fall to its death at the bottom of the sink. It moved as if an invisible hand had given it a swipe. None of the other eggs moved. There was no wind. There had been no earthquake. The countertop was level. I paused a moment, trying to process what I had seen. I asked her if she had seen it, and she had. I had seen Newton's First Law of Motion violated. It was impossible. But it happened, and I had a witness. What I realized is that there is no available hypothesis to explain it. The event can never be replicated. Science can't touch it. It seems there are things happening here or there at times that are beyond the realm of science, that we may never explain. But, they happen. If there is real magic, this is what it is like. It isn't at our command. We can't make it happen, it just does.

I am absolutely astounded you believe what you see on television too... a true skeptic would never believe something like that on a tv show.
      And how do I know it's fake? Because I have studied it, done it and spent about 5 years using it the way magicians do. I mean you argue that a die hard skeptic would be silenced when I could easily say Penn & Teller did a whole episode of Bullshit on the subject showing how fake it actually is and they are both magicians AND skeptics.
      So you really have no argument. The ONLY kind of hypnosis that is real if you even want to call it that. Is a trance state of mind, such as when you are driving a car, or reading a book or etc and your mind goes into "auto pilot" but that is in NO WAY the kind of hypnosis romanticized as being influenced or made to cluck like a chicken. It is simply a form of sleep.

      Derren set something up to show the guy was really under hypnosis, I will not spoil it for you.
      And you are wrong like many others, thinking that hypnosis is not an influence or to be made to cluck like a chicken.
      In south America people have used hypnosis to rape and rob tourists, and even influence others to kill.

Plus he had an interesting persona something a magician like Dynamo completely lacks. So I am not beating him down when I say that. I am telling you that he really feels hypnosis is not how society percieves it but since it is an important part of his persona as a mentalist and some of the routines in his act rely on the illusion of hypnosis he wont fully come out and admit it is pretty much a scam and why would he? he has many more shows to do.
