The "crossover" between their "powers" is the origins.. They get their "power" from the same sources.

Finally, she thought he was psychic despite him denying as such. She is a True-Believer (wikipedia it), one which refuses to accept the truth despite it being there. The young man before her was waiting to hear his grandmother by his own admission...

If the crew of Derren Brown said to the directors "Get two or three people (from a cast of dozens!) who are REALLY interested in readings", would it not be reasonable to assume these people WANT to believe, and thus see truth in, whats being said?

...to have dogs. If he was wrong about the cats she could easily say "I have been thinking about getting one" or "I do have a pet, but it's a parrot" and she'd make it fit.

4. The colour of the cats? She's going to be wealthy for her age and it makes sense she'd get a pedigree. He said "Silvery Blue". British Blue are common pedigrees. If she said no, it could have blue eyes (Persian). It could have had a blue or silver collar. He could've even referred to the moodiness of the cat if he wished!

1. Saying she had a holiday could've been interpreted as many things. She could have had a weeks break. She could have seen a relative she hadn't seen for a while where holiday could get converted to "a trip" if it didn't land to get a hit.

2. He can assume from her age and status she dates. Her face after mentioning a boyfriend would determine the status of the relationship to him, after which he can make insights.

3. The cats? She's a successful actress who probably can't afford the time...

[tokando69]
