I couldn't find ing your post "Stooges Actor and Tricks - The
Expose" where you revealed an occasion where derren uses magic
tricks.
Could you point out on this thread an example of a magic trick in
his programs please. The reason I'd like to know is I'm having this
debate with a friend...he insists that Derren mixes a lot of magic
with psychological trickery but I can't see where the magic comes in
appart from the performing side.
Derren said at the start of the program that he doesn't use any
actors, or magic tricks at the start of his show...do you think that
he might not have been telling the truth?
