Britain's new mind-bending star used his powers for sex

Britain's most brain-boggling mind-bender today confesses how he once used his hypnotic-like super-powers to seduce beautiful women.
Dashing TV star Derren Brown revealed: "Yes, I have used my skills to chat up women and get them into bed. When I was younger and first mastering these techniques, I was at it all the time. I'd take women out and read into their minds, then plant suggestions in their head. Nothing was against their will, though!"
After stunning millions on New Year's Day with his third channel 4 special, 30-year-old Derren added: "I've had a great response from women fans and thousands of e-mails - so they must like something I'm doing!" And from today you too can be in control of the opposite sex- as Derren reveals exclusively to the News of the World FIVE top mindreading tips behind his awesome pulling power.
They are the mental tricks that won over fans this week with stunts like persuading a dog track bookie to pay out over £100 on a LOSING ticket! "I was very naughty when I started out," Derren admitted. "I'm banned from most casinos because I used to control the croupiers so they thought I'd been dealt the winning hand in blackjack! It's very easy to get into somebody's mind. I can do it in a handshake or a look. Everyone is very open to suggestion and can be manipulated to get the response you want. It's not hypnosis, it's not a trick and there are no stooges with what I do - everyone can do it. It's a mixture of logic, psychology and mind games."
So how does he do it? And how can the rest of us achieve that success with the opposite sex?
TIP ONE: "You can tell if anyone is lying to you because they usually touch their face or rub their nose- subconsciously covering up their lie. And most liars will reveal themselves with their eyes. When people are recalling things that really happened they look up and to their left, but when people start imagining things that didn't happen they look up and to their right."
TIP TWO: "On a date you can tell if a woman is interested in you or not by watching her eyes. If her pupils start to dilate she is attracted to you."
TIP THREE: "If you're looking at a woman across a bar or party but she doesn't seem interested and is looking away, just check out her feet or body position. If she really is interested her feet will be pointing at you."
TIP FOUR: "A lot of the seduction is in the voice - you can't speak to her in a boring monotonous tone or be really fast and excited. The way to put her in a suggestive frame of mind is to modulate the voice- so it's like a rhythm- a calming pace and tone, with eye contact."
TIP FIVE: "This is one that sneaky salesmen employ. First get the woman talking on something she's very passionate about, that makes her happy and gives her a sense of well-being. It could be horse-riding, a hobby, watching Eastenders- anything she's genuinely excited about. At the height of this excitement, make a gesture- like doing up your watch strap or fixing your tie- whilst maintaining eye contact. Later on in the evening, get eye contact again and repeat that gesture. Her subconscious will identify this with her earlier feeling of pleasure and therefore be open to suggestion. It's then you ask for what you want- her phone number, getting asked in for a coffee, or something further!"
But Derren- who lives in Bristol with his pet parrot Figaro- insists his days of bedding girls with these ruses are over. "Nowadays it doesn't do anything for me," he explained. "Now I look for women who CAN'T be manipulated by me. The fun's in the chase!"
Derren will soon be touring Britain with his show and is secretly planning a breathtaking stunt that will involve the entire population. "I want to go on television and mind-control the whole country," he revealed.
"Everyone can be suggested to and I know I can make this work- just be on your guard!"
