These few pages have been compiled to bring information relating to Derren Brown's art together. Every book, website, or video listed here has been mentioned or explicitly recommended in discussion groups concerned with Derren Brown, or on web sites dealing with his work or mentalism in general. The lists have been subdivided into categories to try and make it easier to locate titles in which the reader has an interest. The Performances and TV pages detail the contents of all of his broadcast programmes and live performances.
Where books and DVDs are available for purchase on-line from amazon.co.uk and www.MagicTricks.co.uk links have been provided, however some of them are only available directly from the authors or other specialist emporia.
I have no professional interest in Derren's work, but was intrigued by his TV appearances and so started reading around the subject. In Derren related discussion groups people regularly ask for pointers on where to start; I would suggest that any resource listed here would provide an entry into the subject.
While the Blackjack page may appear out of place at first sight, it has been included here as there was much interest in the game and card counting as a feat of memory after an effect performed by Derren Brown in the Mind Control series.
The resource lists here will continue to grow as more information becomes available if it appears that it is proving useful to people. If you would like to be notified when the information is updated, simply enter your e-mail address into the box below and click 'OK'.
