I'm not saying that the lecture is any worse for it not being live (although live questions are handy when people don't fully understand something that is being discussed), I'm saying that it shouldn't have been sold as "Derren Brown LIVE(Penguin LIVE)". (The capitals are how penguin sell it, not me emphasising my point). |

It's an unedited record of the event, performed in front of an audience, like a "live" concert recording.
It's not pieced together in an editing booth, with multiple takes. That's what "LIVE" indicates to me here. The time of broadcast seems irrelevant, especially since I download the lectures later. After all, Penguin lectures originally made in 2012 are still branded as "Penguin LIVE" and nobody seems to have a problem with that. |

Those are good points you are making, however I still feel like it being put in the LIVE series is a little off.
I'm probably happy that they were put in it as it means that with a subscription I'm not paying a large amount for an interview (I can't imagine any actor/singer/dancer having an interview that cost $30 for a digital download. Though before a few weeks ago I couldn't think of anyone charging for an interview, however an interview is usually promotion of something so it becomes a bit more complicated when its for a very niche audience and the person isn't trying to get people to pay to see them in something else). |

I forgot about this when I was writing the review. The audio was really quiet, I usually don't have any issues but I needed to use full volume and a set of headphones to be able to clearly hear what was being said.

I really enjoyed this lecture/interview. If you were expecting Derren to just reveal a bunch of tricks, then you were out of your mind!
I'm so happy he didn't actually.. That wouldn't have been as enjoyable to me. I loved hearing his theories and suggestions. Especially on becoming a theater performer. Well worth the money. This was for the serious mentalist, who understands that methods are basically nothing. It's all in the presentation. |
