Answer 1

You are an intelligent, analytical, person who obviously has your own ideas and ultimately refuses to be led astray - by anyone for whatever reason.

"Protection Mode" - be proud!

Answer 2

I didn't get the first one either. I guess I was looking at his face and not his hands or his gestures. But then after the explanation, I consciously watched what he was doing in the next "experiment" and correctly guessed the 3 of diamonds. It's very interesting, from a psychology point of view.

I had not heard of Derren Brown before, but I found his website which describes him as "... a unique force in the world of illusion - he can seemingly predict and control human behaviour. He doesn't claim to be a mind-reader, instead he describes his craft as a mixture of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship."

Answer 3

I don't know why.  I did think of the circle and triangle, but reversed.  I didn't think of the colors.  His trick is suggestion.  It doesn't always work, but it seems amazing to people if he gets even some of it right.

Answer 4

i do not know the answer and this is why. i am the guy in the audience that gets up and walks out of the auditorium when the hypnotist announces,"there is no one in this room that i cannot hypnotize", he is nuts if he thinks that i am not running on high test at one hundred proof!

Answer 5

Sometimes he was actually pretty blatant, and I was able to resist his clumsy "suggestions."  

You may be just less susceptible to being manipulated than the average person!
