He signed My Ace of spades, his book and then my mum took my Ace of hearts for him to sign and asked him to use my sharpie and he used mine and kept mine so I have his sharpie.....


um again WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW I so wish I could afford to go to norwich tommorow.

What's a sharpie?

Um a Pen good for writing on all surfaces especially cards.....did you genuinly not know or have i fallen into a spelling mistake (on my part) trap.

Lots of newcomers to Magic aren't aware of Sharpies by name - I'd been using them at work for years before I even noticed the name and connection with magic!

It's the pen David Beckham advertises.

When I first joined TM, everyone was talking about Sharpies and I relly didn't have a clue what one was. I had to google it to find out that it's a marker pen.

wowzers....I supose none of you ever used them to Draw fake tashes on friends at re enactments (some of um historicak importance should I say)..........I was a very bored individual.

i just watched the new derren brown evening of wonders dvd.but one of the things that i wanted to see on the dvd had been edited out...... i just wanted to know what prediction pad he used for his badge reveal at the end of the show.. anyone know???

I saw him at Northampton, and it was a very good show indeed. I personally didn't enjoy it as much as his previous two tours, but maybe thats because I expect too much from him now. 'Guess Who' was really good fun.

I think I spoke to you in the queue. You took a photo for me on my phone?

I agree with others, the first half for me felt a tad flat and seemed almost like a comedy act at times. A few too many gags. But the second half.. wow. I love it when Derren does the historical medium type stuff. He pulls it off really well and knowing this stuff was done for real back in the day makes it all the more spectacular to watch. The ending was awesome, very well executed and the audience went crazy.

Out of curiosity, did he use a "looks a bit gay!" comment at any other dates during the "Guess Who" trick, or did he just throw that in at the one I saw? It was my card I think! quite amusing. He seemed to make fun of quite a few people which was all taken in good spirits which is how it should be taken. Was nice to put a face to a name with Coops too. It was funny seeing everyone panic when he asked for photos. Great show... great ending. Well worth the money.

Hope he tours next year. Really enjoyed it.

Yes Mate...I was hoping you would come onto here...I went to speak to you after but I got caught up in everything then when I turned you had dissapeared.

How goes it .




Shame you missed the big friendly TM get together today, but i will leave that for another thread.

Yeah, sorry, that must have seemed very rude of me to have just run off like that!!

I'm glad you managed to wait long enough for him to come out. It would have gutting if you had left and just missed him!

Do you not mean "Guess Whom"?

Indeed.

I probably would have cried.

I seem to remember that line from the pre-tour show I saw in Chatham. It went over well, so why not keep it in?

Coops took a photo of me with DB at the stage door afterwards. I pointed out which buttons did what on my camera (the shutter isn't very obvious), and both of them assured me "Oh, don't worry, Coops is a real whiz with cameras." He then proceeded to hold his fingers over the flash and end up with this masterpiece:



Oh, how we laughed. He did another one without covering the flash, so that's all right then.

I also managed to forget the word "shutter" and called it a "trigger". Which I didn't notice, but Derren picked up on.
