Well, its new for most of those residing in the United States anyways...
Is there anyone out there that has Derren’s stage show on tape? Anyone at all? I would love to see what the fuss is all about. Cheers, Rick. |

I asked and no tape is apparently being made, those who have seen the show will understand why that would be.
I may very well be wrong. I hope I am. k

I think that Derren asked people who seen the show to keep it secret and not tell others, something like that.
Thanks! Scott B.

Ugh, well, thanks anyways...I remember reading Dr. Omni's review on this site, and he stated something to that effect.
Awe, shucks...well, any smuggled tapes out of the show? |

He probably wants to keep his show to himself. I can imagine that there are plenty of imitations all over the UK. Could you imagine what would happen the world over if it was released.

Well then, I guess I'll have to try and see him live...seeing that I (obviously) missed his last tour, when is his next? (assuming he's not busy for awhile on his shows)

At the show I saw (Liverpool) people were asked not to use cameras etc and Derren explicitly asked for the 2nd part of the show not to be discussed.
Im looking forward to the '05 Tour and seeing some of his new material. |

Please forgive me for sounding like a fool (or at least a mentalism fool), but how good is Derren Brown? Don't cringe, but he similar to Blaine - deft/adept enough at the 'run of the mill' mentalism techniques, but nothing revolutionary?
Or is he a pretty amazing innovator of new material? ... And yes, I've been under a rock for the past few years =) |

Derren is nothing like Blaine, Derren is a mentalist who used to be a magician. He uses suggestion to manipulate people. He fools around with psychology and uses it to trick people. He works on body language and muscle reading, fork bending and also performs dangerous stunts.
And that is just the beginning. Gareth

Garaeth123, are you part of Derren's PR? No offense meant.
I would say Derren uses regular mentalism principals on a massive scale and to great success. How much he really uses psychology I am unsure. Like many of us he may be using the psychology thing as a presentational front, however he may be genuine. Derren has a great character and presence and a great team behind him also Only my views though, k

I just read some posts about him here and I thought he was the anti-christ determined to convert Christians to his paganistic rituals? I hear theres a programme to be aired along those lines...

Thanks for the info all around.
Sounds like Mr. Brown's material is something I ought to pursue/investigate. Right now I've just finished Sheherazade, and am making my way through 13 Steps. And of course, ignorance is bliss - I had not a clue that even 'simple billet work' would require such a degree of mental effort and quick thinking (such as memorizing which billet is where, so that your one-ahead or other methods look natural). But this is probably better for a different thread... ... That brings up an interesting question though - I wonder if there are many Christian mentalist performers, and if they have qualms with any of the common mentalist explanations/presentations? Obviously the spirit ones would be kind of sacrilegious... Since you mention his books, is there one that you might recommend that is readily available? (though I hesitate to purchase more books before thoroughly understanding the ones I have!). Thanks... |

Absolute magic : no tricks... lots of advice on presentation and on how to make your presentations powerful. It's a lot about magic, but you can adapt most ideas to mentalism.
