I was there last night on screen too! LOL. Also he missed out the bit in the finale where he calls off the names of all the key volunteers, but that was for continuity as he was using footage from both nights they filmed. when they release it on DVD they should have the option of watching it uncut.

Well they have to save a few bits for the DVD :0) The commercial breaks got a bit distracting though... More adverts than a phone box in Soho

It was a good show and after seeing the preview performance of it at Dartford, it was very interesting to see how the show had been tweeked and changed over it's run.

The Infamous live show did have a few bits cut during the run to tighten it up. The Poker deal was gone by the end, as was Zamiels Rose, but the remaining routines stayed pretty stable. By contrast, Svengali changed significantly by the time the tour ended with the finale being completely re-worked.
Bits cut from the Infamous TV broadcast included the 3 chair routine, Andrew Gaffney and the kid with the £50. I imagine some or all will be on the DVD.

I do hope that they are all on the DVD release. I went to see it with my wife at the Wolverhampton Grand theatre and really enjoyed it. Am a huge fan of Derren's and seeing him performing the Poker deal was great. Even though you know how it is done it is still a real treat to see Derren's presentation of it. Also his ANAAC routine was excellent.

Have already bought tickets for his new show Miracle at the Alexander Theatre in Birmingham. Really can't wait. For those of you have never seen Derren perform card magic, I highly recommend you try to find The Devils Picture Book. It's a good few years old now but it is an excellent selection of effects. He really is a master of his craft and his card work is beautiful.

Also really looking forward to Miracle. I think it did them a world of good for DB and Andy Nyman to spend a couple of years apart. Infamous felt really fresh because of that. Excited to see what they come up with next!

Whenever I think of Andy Nyman I just see Patrick from Dead Set having his guts pulled out!!! Lol. Either that or the Tumor in Kick Ass 2.

Was there any particular reason why they stopped working together?
