Derren Brown studied law at Bristol University before becoming a mentalist, according to this piece by Graham Keal. Mr. Brown is well known for his amazing demonstrations of mind control; last year he flummoxed viewers and the UK lottery people by predicting the winning numbers. Note that I don't call him a magician, although both he and Mr. Keal refer to magic and its principles in the Keal article.
