Derren Brown blasts Derek Acorah’s Michael Jackson Seance

Derren Brown has blasted ’spiritualist medium’ Derek Acorah’s for taking part in a Michael Jackson seance for Sky 1.
Brown wrote on his blog:
“Can you honestly imagine anything – anything – more anus-invertingly unpalatable than this?” Derren wrote. “I hate myself for drawing attention to it.”
He concluded: “So proud to be in telly. DB x”


Ive an idea Derren-you and Derek at Beachy Head-both hypnotised!
Watch Michael Jackson: This is it, or is it ? tonight (4th Novemer 2009) on The Unexplained Channel (sky ch 201)- it’s a brilliant spoof premepting Acorah’s programme !
Repeated Saturday at 7pm, same channel.
I agree…derek thinks hes trying to reach and all time high and contacting the spirit world..when in reality this is the lowest of the low.
Of course YOUR NOT bringing attention to yourself? are you Derren Brown? So now who’s the charlatan? frightened he might steal YOUR limelight?
ok so i watched this with an open mind but really i should of known better, what a load of bollocks!!!
theres nothing like milking a situation is there Derek??? bring back Doris!!! she was as shite but at least original.
This really was the worst display of ’spiritualism’ I have ever seen. Derek Acorah should be ashamed of himself for stooping so low. Those fans were clearly not in a stable emotional state and were disgracefully exploited. Even for just a second we assume that the dead can be contacted…as if Michael Jackson would ‘pop in’ to a room with a dubious ‘medium’ and 5 fans, just at the time it was live on TV. In my less than humble opinion…the man’s a charlatan.

So why watch it at all!!!!!! Michael was in that room with those guys. His spirit lives on for those who really loved him and nothing anyone says or does here now can change that. Thank God no one can get to him any more especially the so called ‘journalists’ and people who talked so much crap about someone who loved all humanity.
We ALL fall short of the person he was and still is!
I Agree with Derren, Derek Accorah should be disgusted with himself for drawing those poor fans into such a circus.
This really was a sad day for spiritualism. Micheal hated being exploited by the media and in even in his death Derek Accorah tries to cash in on it all. Disgusting… Derek you’re a TW@T!!
I agree with the majority here, a real pile of crap! Nothing happened in that seance that couldn’t be explained by Acorah making things up or ‘open reading’. How convenient that Jacksons spirit wasn’t compatible with channeling. It would have been great to see him take over Acorahs body and for him to moon walk around the studio! If you love Michael Jackson and want to honor him then watch one of his concerts or listen to his cd’s. What happened tonight left a very bad taste in my mouth. (and I apologies for my spelling mistakes).
what a load of old bollocks this `seance` was i was appalled at what achora did, really to think that jackson just happened to be in the room, mind you it wouldve been crap tv if nothing had happened thats why he made the whole thing up, there where no hard facts the only thing he related to was aintree racecorse, he even avoided his favourate gig question but threw this in instead, you should be ashamed of yourself mr. achora.
i have never seen such a pathetic attempt to make the nation belive in this horseshit!, this is an absolute mockery of the king of pop!!!!!! i hope derek earned a nice wage from this show, because i cant imagine him very popular from now on, and im glad, he deserves some much needed hate mail!!!!!!!! wat derren brown does leaves you amazed, wat derek does leaves you in stitches!
IT’S A JOKE
I loved the bit when , shortly after contacting the deceased michael jackson, they cut for a commercial break.
Derek acorah proves there is life after death, then meercat.com.
Absolute rubbish from beginning to end. Acorah should be ashamed of himself, reeling in those poor fans, especially Michael, he totally adores MJ and was left in pieces, this could really effect him because he is so vulnerable at moment… It was a total farce, in such bad taste and just typical of people like Acorah jumping on the money making MJ bandwagon, Michael would have hated this, but I suppose this is just the beginning of such utter nonsense that will come out of his death.
These so-called spiritualists were “outed” many years ago by the late great Harry Houdini-the escapologist.They have no shame!By the way did Acorah ever play for Liverpool fc.
I watch it, what a load of BS!!!
The girl was pure class LOL
If it was real, and thats a big IF, why didnt David Gest take part, aasking question about their childhood, that only David and Michael would know?
I know lets get a load of MJ fans that are quite clearly a few sandwiches short of a picnic.. draft in the biggest unconvincing spiritualist there is and create a badly produced tv programme that adds more insult to the mans memory..
Dont even understand why David Guest was involved in this.. Maybe he didn’t really know what a mockery it was going to be.. Derek Acorah is shameful and needs to take acting classes if he wants to be believed..
It was cringeworthy and uncomfortable to watch.. What a sham..
Why are true MJ fans classed as sandwiches short of a picnic? These four wanted nothing more than to be in the presence of Michael and through it achieve some sort of closure and moving on.
I myself went to a medium wehen I lost my husband suddenly and tragically. I was given information that only my husband and I could have known, and felt his closeness just as that girl felt Michael close to her.
There is no reason that MJ shouldn’t try to communicate with a few of his close fans. He lived for his music and the adoration of us, his REAL fans.
mmmmm all in all a well recieved show then? NOT! Oh and the er end of mr.achoras carrer? lol lets frickin hope so!
Derek Is a tool, the spiritualist movement was proven to be fake, in 1848 three sisters who could ‘hear’ spirits knocking on the walls admitted that the knocking people heard was really the sisters toe joints knocking together loudly, this is well documented in the brilliant Derren browns book tricks of the mind and was the catalyst for the spiritualist movement which is and has been proven to be fraudulent. The fact that acorah is a millionaire doing this beggars belief, especially as he blatantly gets away with it when there is good old fashioned conmen and fraudsters going to jail every day for essentially the same thing.
What need a seance when you can just look at the numbers?
MJ died by virtue of being linked up to an IV drip for 9 Hours and Twenty Two Minutes, 9:22, IV, that’s 562 minutes, or f you reverse,as in amirror for a mirror man,265, number of days from the beginning of the year to 9:22.
MJ died at 10:52, JEB, famous member of Bush family that got his brother George into power,end 10:52, October ‘52 Operation Ivy, IV,Nuclear bomb in a building test.
DRIP, 4 18 / RIP / IP / April 18 Death of Einstein, Intellectual Property,Einstein died whilst still at Princeton University, used mailbox site used by the Anthrax mailer 2001, post sorted in Trenton, Einstein’s brain removed after his death…
Cant’t believe that Derek Accorah thinks we are so gullible and stupid and insults our intelligence. An absolute load of bollocks.
How he ever gets on TV i dont know. Some of the mediums are clever at how the cold or warm read but i am not sure that even though it may help with a lost loved one that we should pretend we can talk to them as if they are al in a big room somewhere as i am pretty sure they arent.
Losing loved ones is bloody awful but a part of life and usually makes us stronger and teaches while still remembering. this is just shameful. I couldnt sleep at night if i was him.
Get a life Derek …. a real one not one from the other side

Trust me its not bollocks. I lost my husband tragically in 1998. I used a medium and DID make contact with my deceased husband so dont diss what you have not experienced even if you dont like the medium.
Jeff, your right. mediumship is not bollocks its very very real – HOWEVER this was absolute and utter, bullshit. Acorah said nothing, whatsoever that proved he was in contact with jackson and the vulnerable fans that were there just made themselves look ridiculous. it was absolutely pathetic.
well, im stunned, mostly at the comments above, what the hell gywnn jones is on about is anybodies guess. we looked at the numbers gywnn, and..?? and you others who say mediumship is real, well thats unbelievable in this day and age, i feel for you people.
shirley says ‘trust me its not bollox”??? sorry i wont be trusting anyone who still indulges in this tripe.
and poor shirl up top, mikey J was in the room with those guys..amazing. if this is real life i may end it now, join the spirits and escape you people..im really scared for humanity
