Derren Brown frasi celebri

“Ho visto Bandler all'opera e mi è apparso indubbiamente straordinario, così come può esserlo uno showman. È contagioso e al contempo carismatico e antipatico. Si ama il suo mondo e si adora il suo approccio, pur quasi non credendogli. Non è difficile prendere delle persone da un gruppo di fedeli entusuasti e suggestionabili e fargli vivere quello che sembra essere un grande cambiamento davanti al pubblico. […] Si tratta solo di comprenderne il carisma e la spettacolarità. Sicuramente eccelle in questi ambiti, e ciò rende difficile dire se sia immensamente capace oppure se sia un grandissimo, brillante e accattivante farabutto.”

“Mi piacerebbe molto sapere che questo libro ti ha dato informazioni utili da mettere in pratica, o che sia stato una trampolino di lancio per altre importanti scoperte. Questo è il mio scopo.”

da Il mentalista. I trucchi della mente

“Numerosi gruppi motivazionali, filoni di movimenti di autoaiuto e correnti di pensiero sulla comunicazione, potrebbero venire spazzati via da una semplice regola di vita: "Sii gentile". Se sei gentile con gli altri, gli altri lo saranno a loro volta con te e ti troveranno piacevole. Se sei gentile, avrai più possibilità di essere felice, perché sarai di indole più gioiosa e avrai attorno a te più amici, aspetto che (non mi sorprende) rappresenta uno degli indici principali per misurare la contentezza nei confronti della vita. Non voglio dire che sia un gioco da ragazzi, ma basterebbe essere gradevoli e garbati e forse non diventerai subito milionario, ma almeno avrai una vita più facile e potrai raggiungere il successo con minore sforzo. Basta essere gentili e tutto il resto va a posto da sé.”

Confessioni di un mentalista

“La facilità con la quale siamo in grado di etichettare e giudicare la gente (in modo azzeccato o meno) risulta paradossalmente rassicurante, perché ci rende consapevoli di poter essere a nostra volta oggetto di rapide classificazioni. L'attribuzione a uno stereotipo non va vista come un'offesa, ma piuttosto come la possibilità di vedere dall'esterno i propri problemi, ridimensionandoli.”

Derren Brown: Frasi in inglese

“Music is arguably the most affecting of the arts; intelligible to all people yet untranslatable into any other idiom. To Schopenhauer it was a direct expression of the ‘world will’… and was good when he had guests over.”

“[Magic] can be poorly presented and surrounded by naffness, and often amounts to little more than childish attempts to fool you. I guess it’s largely to escape those associations that I’ve gone the route I have.”

“Magic means nothing. It has the potential to connect us to something wonderful, as does any performance, but it is not wonderful in itself, for it is inseparable from the particular performance in which it is experienced. A magician who is too fast, too slow, mumbles, shouts, smells, is unlikeable or incomprehensible will unavoidably taint his magic with his personal failings.”

“The appreciation of a painting or a piece of music, for example, or even falling in love, is all about our subjectivity. But to decide that the entire universe operates in such a way, let alone to go to war because we are so convinced we are right that others must agree with us or die, that surely should demand a higher level of argument than 'It's true because I really, really feel it is.”

“Now I know what you are thinking; “how did he know what was drawn in the envelope?” Clearly, I must have detected in his voice the accent of my home town, Bristol, so he’s only going to be thinking of a tractor or marrying your own sister. A tractor's easier to draw so Bob's your uncle… and your Dad. And you'd be right.”

“There will always be liars, swindlers and charlatans. Hopefully there will also always be the modern Houdinis and the seekers of the truth, snapping at their heels and holding them to account.”

“In the same breath, one might add that the atheist is surely as religious as the Christian, in that he has adopted a set of beliefs to which he chooses to rigorously adhere. While it’s temptingly clever to make that claim, it is a nonsensical statement; no more logical than to say that a Christian is a type of atheist. Having a set of beliefs about religion is not the same as being a religious True Believer.”

“Magicians do not, as a rule, presume that their audiences are intelligent and sensitive enough to want the magic to be challenging and cathartic. This is not a healthy starting point, for it stultifies magic and leaves it too close to children’s entertainment.”

“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.”

“I decided that my magic had to change. That I had to give serious thought to presentation. That, in fact, my presentation of the effects is where my impact as a magician lies – I realised that it can turn a good effect into something artistic and stunning.”
