Brown wants Allen for TV show

Derren Brown is hoping to persuade film director Woody Allen to make a guest appearance in Trick Or Treat.

Allen is a fan of magic and was introduced to Brown after watching his West End show in 2006.

The programme sees participants choose a card to determine if they will receive a treat or be tricked by the illusionist.

A Channel 4 spokesman told The Sun: “Woody is really interested in magic. Derren is a huge fan of Woody’s films and would love to get him on the show.”

Trick Or Treat will return in late spring.
