Yeah fantastic, complete mind f##k when you try and comprehend how the number generated by adding together 2 randomly generated numbers match the phone number of a randomly selected audience member.
Detailed cold reading is pretty-much made up. There is no way that someone can glean enough from "tells" to formulate much.
This is not based on anything beyond what I consider to be obviousness. The simplest explanation is that he has an alternative mystical method of finding out about people. Like Google.
I actually worked on the show earlier in the year, it was my job to pull up the cloth and reveal the seats as well as building and taking down the set.
Derren is a really nice guy, we actually watched Star Wars on the screen for his birthday eating birthday cake.

Does anybody have any evidence for our against this sort of cold reading, or insight into Brown's tricks?

watching it now, keeps saying there are no plants in the audience. Just got to the monkey bit - gobsmacking. |)
I had a big magic phase a couple of years back, in particular I obsessed over derren and sourced a couple of his very early books, as well as a lot of other mainstay texts on mentalism and the like, but it made me realise a trick is a trick is a trick - it's all in presentation, which is why I gave up on it (I would rather practice guitar in a mirror than magic!). On top of his amazing presentation and style, he's a wonderful person, a true gentleman and has the most amazing stage presence.
I met him back stage after the show and he had photos taken with everyone who waited, shook hands and made everyone feel like they were very important to him.
Bloody love him, in case you couldn't tell
