Very unlikely.
Derren Brown is an illusionist first and foremost. The whole point of what he does is to make it seem like mind-reading/magic/super-memory when it's actually a trick.
I'm not saying I know how he does it.
But I know some very, very basic card "magic" and from there I know that with sometimes very simple tricks and deceptions one can create absolutely mind-boggling effects. If I can learn such tricks over the course of a few weekends, what can Derren Brown learn in all his years of experience?
That's my two cents.
