Whoever says that Derren Brown has the same initials as Robbie Williams is a liar.

I'll answer seriously, regardless of the seriousness of the question. The American public as a whole knows very little about Derren Brown. His show ran for several episodes on Sci-Fi. I don't know of the success of it, but am guessing it received a mediocre response. I'm thinking he's not going to be part of the next British invasion.

To add on to Jason's post, his show was announced for a second season. But to make it clear, SCIFI is a small niche channel with a viewership smaller than some of the cooking channels. Even if he were the breakout star on that channel (which he is not as of yet) most of the US would never have heard of him.

Derren has been going over here on tv for about 8 years. And while is a lot more popular than when he started he really isn't a houshold name here either.
Out of all the lay people I talk to most of them have heard of him but rarely watch more than one show. He has a very niche fan base but still big enough to fill out theatres. The last real really big magician in the UK was Paul Daniels. Derren has not achieved that level of success so far. |

As Derren says "most people think I'm paul Mckenna" he more popular among students

A quick limited run of Derren's live show on Broadway would lead to a Tony nomination for Best Special Theatrical Event and likely a win.
It will happen. |

You are absolutely right. He could create a Broadway event like no other. What about a recurrence of the British Invasion like the 60's. Derren, Luke, Andy and the incomparable John Archer. Hennessey

Battlestar Gallactica is also exclusively shown on the Sci Fi channel and has much, much deeper market penetration than DB does in the States. I've recently started watching BG myself, which I think is great so far, but I personally like DB's shows more. I'm also curious where people perform that their spectators have heard of DB. I have yet to run into a non-performer who has even a vaque recollection of his name. These are people who have heard and/or religiously watch BG, so I am not sure whether it is the channel or the content, primarily. I'm going to have to think about this. Lem |

BG is "Battlestar Gallactica"
Remember, BG is also an updated version of the 70s show of the same name which also had a made for TV movie back then. It came with a ready made large fanbase. Additionally, it has been on for several years. |
