Derren Brown Astrology
February 24th, 2008 | by astro |777Skeptic asked:
Derren Brown gives readings via “astrology.” From “Trick of the Mind,” S03E01.
Astrology relies heavily on the Barnum and Forer effect, which are statements that can apply to anybody.
Click links below for more information on those effects.

Of course, the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) will pay anyone $1,000,000 for a successful demonstration of paranormal phenomenon under proper observing conditions:

No astrolgers, or crackpots alike, have ever claimed the $1,000,000 prize. Suprise?

Love it! About three minutes in I saw it coming, but it was still priceless. Anything that puts the pseudo-sciences in their place will always get five stars from me.

“cold reading” as this guys says is part of fake psychics and fortune telling. astrology is not fortune telling, it talks about a person total personality and make up and it includes astronomy in it, that’s not done in an hour it takes longer.

That’s called observing, interpreting and “having an open mind”.
Astrology isn’t. It’s not even -logy… :S

He’s a great cause to skeptics everywhere. He does a bait and switch with all these dumbasses and throws science in their face.

Its the same crap trick Randi used. I like Derren Brown, what has he proved?? How gulliable different people are!? The views of some commenters on this video are in the same league as this pathetic trick.

Astrology is not about believing in something. Its about observation, learning and symbolism. Open your eyes instead of believing everything on TV and in the newspapers.

I think you missed the point of what he was saying, he’s saying it’s very possible for all of this to be true.He was just pointing out the methods actually used by some people..

It’s good that he’s exposing how these phonies work at trickery and ripping people off. I never believed in astrology or psychics and I never will. Damn I should become a fake fortune teller doing cold readings like that so I can make money off of stupid people that believe in that crap. There’s a sucker born every minute. Think about it. Think about all the money you can make off people that want to believe in such stupid hogwash.
