Last night I watched a little TV, not too much as I was busy with something else, but even in the short time I was actually looking at the screen I saw adverts for everything from cars to feminine hygiene products yet today I have bought absolutely nothing.

I can’t think of a single time where an advert has made me want to buy  a product I didn’t already want or need anyway.  There have been occasions when I would have perhaps seen an advert for something, such as deodorant for example, where I would normally buy one brand but instead bought this other brand because of the advert I’d seen for it - but I was going to buy deodorant of one kind or another so what the advert succeeded in doing was to lure me over from another manufacturer.

This man never fails to amaze and surprise!

Normally he explains whatever it is he has done at the end of his shows, but it stills takes a little bit of understanding though with this it was like a switch was flicked as everything clicked into place.

The basic premise was that we followed the life of Kadesha, a woman who had been given tips by Derren (although she didn’t know who they were from at the time) on which horse would win a succession of races.
