I also have the Devils Picturebook video from Derren, and I can honestly say that between the two, he changed the way I perform.

Recommended!

It's a great video isn't it? If you've seen lots of posts about it in the old forum enthusing about it that was me, though I've yet to hear that anyone has taken heed of my postings and tried to get their hands on a copy.

I've not seen any of the posts, but I'd certainly enthuse about it.

I've got a lot of respect for Derren Brown, although he seems to get slated quite often by other magi.

I'm quite sure that this is no longer available, but I would recommend that people persevere in trying to get their hands on a copy, especially if you're into one-on-one mind games!

Just note to say that I bought Devil's picture book from Derren's site and it came to me personally signed.
Might be worth a sniff. :wink:

Just in case you didn't hear the news, Derren is apprently working on a new TV series which includes his version of Russian Roulette. This is supposed to be using a genuine gun & ammo and will be pre-recorded (obviously!) in the Isle Of Man, or the Channel Isles due to UK gun law restrictions.

I would imagine that, once these programmes are on the air, all DB videos/books etc will escalate in value for a while so keep your eye on ebay, Amazon etc!
