Question for the police people on here. What is it that stops what the three did from being a prosecutable offence? Why can't they be done for attempted murder? After all, in their minds, they tried to kill someone on camera.

That is a myth, and that is the sole reason I said he was a very clever and engaging host. If you are one to listen carefully, which many who watch his shows do (which he knows), he leaves a load of audible leads as to how he does it, intended to be picked up by the intently listening viewer - which satisfies their curiosity to how it is done withiut doubting its authenticity. However none of these audible cues have anything to do at all with how the trick was done, the trick was just done simply with an actor. The power of suggestion was actually on the viewer he has controlled in such a way that he has made them think that this is real.
Another example is when he was at the race track and he took the mans losing betting slip to the desk as he claimed he could get the woman to pay out. First the man went up and the lady (who didn't read the ticket, as you aren't required to these days with electronic processing) put the slip into the computer and then said "sorry it says it wasnt a winner". Derren then came over and said "THIS IS THE DOG YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...thats why we came to this WINdow" apparently suggesting to those watching close enough that this is all the information they need as to how he did this trick. Emohasising certain words.
When in reality it is a machine that uses a barcode to say if the ticket won or not and doesnt allow for human intervention... and it then shows on screen then exactly how much to pay out. So it seems if Derren tricked anyone at the window by his power of suggestion, then it was a computer... that cant hear anything. She was a stooge.
Here is the clip...

Worth reading his book Tricks of the Mind. Contains a fairly full and frank explanation of his methods. As I said he doesn't claim to be some kind of supernatural superhuman. Quite the opposite in fact.
I can't be bothered to argue the point. Suffice to say that if his shows were purely actors reading scripts he'd have been exposed and stopped selling tickets and making pointless tv shows long ago. Let's just agree to differ.
I wasnt intending to argue with you, i thought seeing as you had put your opinion forward we could discuss it further, especially as I posted a clip which sort of proves it.
However, Dynamo DVD's are still selling through the roof though. Which again is scripted actors. One woman had her tattoo of a woman with her eye closed change to a tattoo with a woman with her eye open, much to her amazement. How did it happen? He rubbed the make up off that they had applied prior to rolling the cameras.
