LIFE AND DEATH

Russian roulette stunt has player 'terrified'

Derren Brown has told how his televised game of Russian roulette could go horribly wrong, and admits he feels terrified.
Brown - who will be seen pointing a gun at his head on Channel 4 on Sunday - said his mother had pleaded with him to call off the stunt. The station says it is going ahead with the show despite a warning by a senior policeman that it could encourage people to copy the stunt.
"There's a limit to what I can do. There's no 100 per cent guarantee," said Brown. Around 12,000 people volunteered to load a single bullet in one of the six numbered chambers of the Smith and Wesson handgun. Brown will then use his skills to predict which chamber by simply getting his assistant to count from one to six.
