DERREN Brown revealed that he became a magician to "show off and impress people" when he was younger. The 49-year-old, who first got involved with magic while studying at Bristol university, admits that the reason he got into it all was to try and make himself more popular.

He told The Mirror: "A lot of people go in to magic because you want to impress and you’re insecure, particularly when younger." Although the illusionist went on to admit that it didn't really get the reaction he wanted.

He added: "None of those things make you likeable, by the way. “You just think they do, but they don’t – we don’t like people who are trying to impress us. "I think I was pretty insufferable in my early 20s, just wanting to do tricks all the time to.
