This tumblr fuses magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. I achieve all of the results you will see through a varied mixture of those techniques. At no point are actors or stooges are used in this tumblr.

After seeing infamous for the second time I was still in awe. Me and Leah arrived in Hull an hour early, we had a Nandos, walked to the theatre, found the stage door and took our seats in the third row (surprised to see 4 of our college psychology department behind us). When the stage went dark we…

I’m arresting you on suspicion of having the most attractive jawline in the world…
I just said to my mum “not long until I see my Derren!” You should have seen her face!

Hey guys :) so I thought if anyone’s going to Infamous in London and could find the stage door, it’s the furthest on the left.
Well I’m certainly no expert but I do remember Derren saying that it isn’t like he can just walk down the street and know what everyone is thinking so I’m guessing it isn’t a gift as such, he has to put conscious effort into doing it. Also, Derren also once said that anyone could learn how to do it but you would have to be a certain type of obsessive person to do it. He said it’s like playing the piano in that anyone could play a tune but to become really good you have to spend thousands of hours at the piano and have a lot of other things in place too. (These aren’t direct quotes by the way!)
The effect of mind reading can be so convincing though, it does seem impossible and Derren is very talented at pulling it off. Good question!
