* MusicalGag: In the finale of ''Enigma'', after the six men who were chosen arrange themselves into a random order in front of a set of lettered "lollipop sticks," he directs them to rearrange themselves into another random order while a piece of music plays. He concludes his instructions with, "So, gentlemen, please mix yourselves into a Music/NewOrder, off you go." Cue the 1988 version of ''Blue Monday''.

Derren Brown (born 27 February 1971) is a prolific [[StageMagician magician]] and [[MindManipulation hypnotist]] whose TV work mostly involves combining these two skills into something popularly described as [[ManipulativeBastard 'psychological illusion.']] His shows often utilise so many layers of secrecy and deception that nobody involved ever quite knows where they stand.
