Ginny, he's playing at the Caird Hall and despite it being on his web site, the Caird Hall still don't seem to know anything about it!!!!!!

The GMB union is to make two formal complaints over a Channel 4 programme which saw unsuspecting members of the public take part in a fake "armed robbery".
The Heist, broadcast on Wednesday evening, saw illusionist Derren Brown persuade a group of businessmen to take part in what they believed was a genuine armed robbery.
The GMB, which represents thousands of security industry workers, condemned the show as "irresponsible and insensitive". The union revealed it would be making complaints to regulator Ofcom and the City of London Police.
GMB senior organiser Martin Hird said: "GMB condemn Channel 4's broadcasting of a programme which stages an armed robbery as irresponsible and insensitive in the light of increases in violent attacks on security staff.
"We also have serious concerns about the programme being produced with involvement from the police and banking community."
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "Derren Brown - The Heist was a thought-provoking, intelligent and entertaining special where Derren demonstrated how far mind techniques and powers of persuasion could be used to influence people.
"The experiments featured, including the heist itself, were all carried out in a controlled environment using stunt actors and a toy gun in a closed off road. No one was ever in any danger and the police were aware of the filming.
"The tone of the programme also made it very clear that attempting any form of robbery was criminal behaviour."
Brown has courted controversy over previous TV specials. In 2004, Channel 4 was flooded with complaints over his Seance programme.
In 2003 shocked viewers watched Brown play Russian roulette live on TV -and survive. The show sparked a barrage of complaints from cops and safety experts.

watch this space, here's the real deal........
Derren Brown has convinced us all that DIMIA are giving out visas, he then puts these peeps onto a plane which circles London for 24 hours and then drops them all off again somewhere remote on the south coast of England where they are all living in a virtuality world - it'll be on E4 with live streaming just as soon as they can work out how much they can con out of the rest of us to watch it

I've decided I'm going to wear a gold top hat (got it for new year), and am going to tape Margaret2 to it, do you think that'll be obvious enough
