"Controversy has never interested me for its own sake," he said. "It's always been about doing stuff that feels dramatic."[!gad]It isn't the first time one of Derren's stunts has attracted controversy, his past tricks include a game of Russian Roulette on live television and an attempt to predict the correct lottery numbers.
