Are you lucky? I consider myself extremely lucky, and have always felt like my attitude and the way I connect with the environment has a huge impact on the opportunities that arise in my daily life. In this webisode, incarnate sorcerer of the 43rd degree Derren Brown attempts to show just how true this can be in an experiment on the secret behind getting lucky… er, rather being lucky. Click through to see how DB goes to one small town to fuel his own myths, and creates a powerful cultural symbol of luck out of thin air.

Heartfelt experiment with a lucky outcome, or yet another piece of DB’s sinister plan to devour the soul of our collective humanity? Like DB says, “you should always change your mind if given the choice.”
