I'm lucky and old enough to have watched Derrens whole TV career. He's in a class of his own at the genre he performs IMO? He truly amazes me regularly and I can't say that for lots of Illusionists. I regularly work out how something is probably done (IMO?) Can't help doing it, because it can spoil the show sometimes. Anyway.... I'd love to see him live and I'm going to get a ticket next time he's touring the UK and in the north.
Oh Derren. You know when watching magicians everywhere they are very clever but they still look un artistic and they just seem cheezy no matter how great their trick is. After watching them I just cringe as they are clever but are not the slightest bit magical. I now understand what you were trying to say in the book "Absolute Magic". You are the closest magician I can only find to be the most artistic with your theatrics. So thank you for writing that book. I am personally on that path and have some great ideas to make it more magical. Some fantasy movies have given me some ideas of what I sould do. And yes I have got some rules for myself to stay away from using cards and coins tricks. They just seem too basic for me. Magicians need to be more artistic and not try and look like a clever tricky hand person. I also don't like doing tricks that need speed to perform. I like tricks that are slow to perform as they look more magical because it is as if the person is not doing anything at all. But when a magicians does something fast and quick. You just know he is doing something clever and it loses its magical quality to it. That is myy personal opinion anyway. A bit like in movies how they just wave their hands and something happens. They don't do quick movements you know. Anyway just thought to share my thoughts about cheezy magicians and how they annoy me when I watch them. You are the best I have seen even though it is mainly mentalism and hypnosis
Filmed 24 years ago, I think that the resolution that the episode was originally filmed in might be the only available format?😅 Perhaps with AI advances, there might be a possibility of adjusting the quality, however, this costs money and investment. I personally believe that the original quality adds to the charm and nod to the fact that Derren has been at this for quite some time ! A vintage aesthetic ❤
I don’t know how he does it but he’s amazing
If you did know how he did it, he wouldn't be amazing to you, I'm guessing? 😅

Why do you keep writing "IMO?" ???
Really annoying and superfluous... Every single comment made here is in that person's opinion. 🙄

Is he coming to the U.S. I'd love to see a live show ?
New tour in the UK for 2025, but he has done a few previously
It's easy to explain Derren Brown's show once you understand that he has supernatural powers.
Hee Derren, can you upload your video's in a better - higher resolution instead of upscaled old tv resolution?
