Sorry, do people here actually believe that everything he does is
mind control, and not a combination of many things? I'm surprised if
so. It's worth remembering if you're trying to work out how he does
his effects that its not all NLP and psychology...some of
the 'explanations' of how he does his effects on this board seem more
fantastic than the effects themselves.
There is a (fairly) interesting question raised here though: if we're
agreed that not all of Derrens effects are achieved purely through
psychological manipulation, then does his claim that they do make him
any better than other 'psychics' who claim psychic powers? Uri Geller
is a perfect example of a performer who was harangued by the magical
fraternity for claiming to be psychic when performing magic tricks;
surely claiming to be a psychological manipulator whilst doing magic
tricks is a very similiar claim?
