Answer 1
No, Derren Brown does what he does with the goal to entertain people. He's honest about the methods he is using and doesn't claim to have any paranormal powers. Frauds do something for personal gain that hurts another person, often financially, and typically involves illegal activities.
Derren Brown is real. He's a living and breathing human being.
The things he does are magic tricks and not real in the strictest sense of the word, but that's not really a problem, because he never claims them to be real.
Answer 2
No.
There are no actors or stooges used in his shows.
If you actually watch his shows, you can see how random the events are, so it is clear it is not staged. Sometimes things do go wrong, another proof that it is not staged.
Derren Brown uses psychology, hypnosis and persuasion to prove certain things, such as clairvoyance, tarot readings, miracle healers and so on, are fake.
So, Derren does REAL things to prove that other people are fake.

What is a sleight of hand artist?
A sleight of hand artist differs from a magician in that a magician constructs illusions using special, custom-made props (hats with a false panel, fake flower bouquet, etc...) . A sleight of hand artist, however, uses ordinary objects (book of matches, pack of sugar, a coin...), often whatever is lying around to perform tricks, using misdirection to get the audience to look in the wrong place, leaving the artist to conceal his true movements. He then produces the object in a place or state unexpected.

Hi. Im Duncan Perry. Im a magician at my school and i preform on the streets. I preform in bars and some cruise ships, too. I would start out on a street. NOT a place where people are in a hurry like a subway. If you do preety well at that, try opening about a 30 minute show at a bar. As you get better, more people will come to watch. Oh and i get almost all my tricks from Master Your Magic. Mason McClain is the person who made it and he is VERY good. Please check him out. Glad i can help!
