Now That's a Fabulous Trick

Um…

The television illusionist Derren Brown is courting controversy again by planning his most audacious trick yet – persuading a straight man he is gay.

The hypnotist also believes he could make a gay man be attracted to women.

The 41-year-old, who came out four years ago, is hoping the stunt will be as popular as his last stunt where he persuaded the group of people the world was going to end.

Brown told the Sun: “I was thinking about this the other day — it would be interesting wouldn’t it? To take a gay guy and make him straight and a straight guy and make him gay.”

You can take a straight man and put him in a really nice pair of shoes and make other people think he’s gay — but I’m not sure how Brown expects to pull this one off.
