I often get critisized for mentioning Derren Brown too much.
Personally I don't see a problem with this, but its one more attack for the old and wrinkled people to throw at me; so I wondered what other such entertainers have existed throughout the years? The only person I have ever seen performing Mentalism on British television is Derren Brown, but perhaps that is because I am so young (17). Can anyone recommend any good DVD's of performances? Preferably ones shown on TV?

You want us to name for you all the other Mentalist entertainers thruout the years?
Look them up yourself, don't be lazy. Paolo had it right. Topic is locked.

Eshla:
Derren is brilliant, but there are lots of others on video and even on sound recordings. First I'd suggest getting hold of a good book on the history of magic. Usually they will contain a section on mentalists that have made a name for themselves throughout history. It'll open your eyes to the great names of the past and you'll have a great time reading of their exploits. I'd suggest Milbourne Christopher's Illustrated History of Magic as a reasonably-priced good place to begin. Re: Mentalists on video and sound recordings, search for Chan Canasta; Joseph Dunninger; David Berglas; Maurice Fogel; Kreskin; Tim Conover; David Hoy; Banachek; Tony Andruzzi; Andy Nyman; Max Maven; Eugene Burger; Kuda Bux; Michael Webber; Uri Geller; Craig Karges; Jon Stetson. This is just a small list. No doubt others here will chip in with their favorite mentalism performers that can be seen on video. There are also some excellent performers right here on The Penny Forum. Check out their profiles and websites. Sometimes they post videos of themselves on their websites or on YouTube. - entity

Not sure about British performers, but their is a really good documentary on YouTube about the history of mentalism. It has a great performance by Max Maven.

On entity's excellent list, it should be Michael Weber, not Webber.

Ok, so first you insult us: Old wrinkled people I believe it is.
Then you ask us to do your diry work! HUH! Well there's Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presly, The Beach Boys, Tiny Tim and I think some other entertainers throughout the years. YOU ARE ONLY 17? Could not have guessed. J |

Thanks Rory. It was a typo. Michael Weber and I first met over 30 years ago, and he's been a very supportive and encouraging friend ever since.

Eshly, even on British tv there have been far more mentalists than Derren in recent years. What about Paul McKenna, Colin Fry, Derek Ackorah? Uri Geller is still on regularly. I have seen David Berglas. Max Maven has performed on British TV.
