For only £20 you can do all Derren's stuff in less than 3 days.
Not only that but you also get a copy of "Absolute Magic" FREE OF CHARGE!!!

Somehow, I think when Derren sees this he's going to be kickin a$$!!!

And I assume that the copy of "Absolute Magic" is exactly that - a COPY.

its a course in nlp nothing special, you might be able to perform some of mr brown's stuff but you won't be as good as he is in three days.
nlp's been around longer than brown and was even used by houdiny so don't worry.

that said using his name and pic without permission could land them in very hot water, especialy when mr brown convinces them its a lot hotter than it realy is. :lol:

Look down at the bottom of that page. It has loads of random words like 'seance, zombie, PIN prediction' etc. What's that all about?

They might be keywords for search engines to find.

I think it's to attract Search Engines.

And of course you get entered into the Readers Digest prize draw !!!

I have to same that I'm very, very sceptical about claims such as these which in my opinion are simply devised to sell a product but of course, you all knew that :wink:

I wonder if Derren knows? They will have most probably breached his copyright just by using his photo without permission.

Is this a site for Shuttleworth's ebooks?

I have them somewhere. I got them becasue you never know if there are any bits and bobs hidden in the corners. I meant to write a review, but never got around to it.

But do they have Derren's permission to use his name and image in their advertising?

Not to mention the fact that the ad is heavily misleading given the fact the DB isn't an NLP "only" kind of performer.

I think folks are going to want to tar & feather this group at the end of that 3 days... :twisted:

I seriously doubt if Derren would let them use his image for this sort of thing. The site is a blatant rip off of Derren's homepage aswell.

I have them too, but they were a bit of a waste of money, really. Nothing new in there at all. The coin in hand method was interesting though, I've never had the balls to try it, does it really work?

I haven't tried. I do one where I tell them what the coin is as well as which hand.

...... and I thought it was just me being a sceptic lol - the knockdown price of £19.95 doesn't help if you ask me. I mean can you honestly expect to pay just £19.95 and expect to learn all that they promise on their website ?

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Of course!

NLP is easy to learn, you can do everything that Derren does in 3 days!
