Derren Brown

British 'magician', relying on his expertise in subtle hypnotic suggestions and the ability to recognise the subtlest of body language to make uncanny predictions, or make people behave in strange ways. In a word, subtle. In another couple of words, very good at it. Made it into Join Me Top Trumps, possibly due to undetected spooky mind-control.
==More Details==
Derren Brown (born 27 February 1971) is a British psychological illusionist (mentalist). He was born in Croydon, Surrey, and while studying Law and German at the University of Bristol he attended a show by the hypnotist Martin S Taylor, who inspired him to turn to magic and hypnosis as a career. From the mid-1990s he worked as conjurer, practising the traditional skills of close-up magic. Later, Brown changed the emphasis of his tricks, claiming that they worked only based on the power of "mind control" or "mind reading". Many of these psychological illusions are, in essence, tricks known to magicians but skilfully performed and enhanced by Brown's personality and showman's flair to influence and misdirect.
