Derren Brown beats 9 chess players simultaneously.

This is a video cut from "Trick of The Mind" series aired in the UK. The clip here is taken directly from Season 1 -- Episode 1.

This is one of my favorite segments done by Derren. It explains for the most part how he did achieve the feat, and the trick is quite clever. Don't get too hung up on the ending though; it's merely a trick.

I've got all of Derren's work on my computer, and if you're interested in somehow obtaining the information, email me at tranceriver@gmail.com and we'll talk.

Cheers

Woo I pretty much understood exactly what he was doing after what the guy says at 4:23. Very, very smart!

The lamest use of "Grandmaster". I mean, in my opinion. Haha

[IceTenacious]

This absolutely amazes me. It must take an extraordinary amount of brain power.

@ErichoTTA genuinely

[OrlyDudeGuy]

I knew he was mirroring their moves one each other. That's slick.

[Embrigh]

Lol i understood what he did the instant he did it. That's clever.

[ErichoTTA]

I generally can't remember. Good night.

[KataNight]

Now, by planning. It's being thrown into action then taking the correct immediate steps necessary to win by knowing what your doing ahead of time. He's playing the one against the next one then the next one and so on!
