You are entitled to your opinion. Maybe you don't like that style of magic.

Some people hate card magic. Doesn't mean it's BS, just not what they like.

I would be very happy if I could even PERFORM anywhere near as well as Derren, let alone be able to perform his effects, even though I don't use Mentalism, I can still enjoy it.

May I ask why you have no respect for Derren Brown?

by **CutToTheAce** » May 23rd, '06, 11:38

because he's been famous a long time and its now cool to hate him?

by **Stephen Ward** » May 23rd, '06, 11:42

Derren Brown is a highly respected performer and has some top minds working with him.

by **Mark Smith** » May 23rd, '06, 11:44

I've got to agree. Even if you don't like his style of magic you've got to respect his ingenuity and originality. He's created himself a niche in the magic market (an impressive feat in itself) and now can perform anything and still make it appear brand new and impossible. A very clever man indeed. Has my complete respect.

Mark have to back you up on that, when I went to his show, I was very impressed with his showmanship, mentalism, etc... very polished act.

by **Stephen Ward** » May 23rd, '06, 13:19

Having spoken to Derren i can tell you he is a very nice chap too

For me it would have to be:

Miracles For Mortals Volume Two by Geoff Williams I love this DVD and the material on there is wonderfull.

He he. That takes me back. We watched it the day we picked up our O-level results in 1983! A travelling video library had actually been prosecuted for carrying it under the counter. Now you can get it on DVD at Amazon for a very respectable £14.99...

It teaches you nothing about american football, by the way. And if you're looking for a text on gamekeeping, forget Lady Chatterly's Lover!

The DVD I'd like. Hmmm... I don't know if it exists, but I think I'd like to see more of Jasper Maskelyne's stuff from before WWII. Paul Xenon did a show about him a while back that had some footage of his stage stuff. It was the first time I'd seen anyone take a gobful of rasor blades and a thread and very carefully pull them out as a chain. He was lauded like a film star at the time, but today hardly anyone knows him.
