Hi everybody. I just finished watching Derren Brown's russian roulette - did anyone catch it? It was the most intense thing I've ever seen...I just had to write about it somewhere  :o,

I watched it and the drawings thing was for sure impressive. However yesterday I read in The Guardian that the actual russian roulette stunt was fake.

Well there will always be skeptics - this stunt was actually far easier than the less dangerous ones he did in his channel four series. It seems to me many people are saying "oh the bullet was a blank" and "it wasn't live" etc. but surely the easiest way to "cheat" would be just tell the guy to the bullet in chamber 1!
