Derren does an amazing job to describe exactly what he wants eloquently. It's a shame many people don't get his point, when he does everything to prove it.

[NordicMother]

Sorry to bother anyone but I cannot find 1/7...can anyone point me to it?

[wrd]

There are more short interviews with Derren coming soon...

@TraceurMeeka; Impressed. you're actually able to comprehend sarcasm. Good job.

i have just noticed his 'tick' or"noddy thing" as he calls it

[NoJohnDoe]

uh, oh - this Shot-Reverse-Shot makes this whole thing kinda hard to follow - English is not my native language and I studied media - and I wonder if it only me that gets this "nervous" feeling about this short but very interesting interview.
I also wonder if Derren is not earning enough money anymore - or why he defers to give away techniques and background infos.
anyway. I enjoy watching Derren.

@NoJohnDoe since his DPB he kept revealing a few card tricks!

I'm very careful as to what I let my self hear and see from Darren. His ability to send subliminal messages and thoughts are paralleled. Try to watch this with out looking at the video.

[WhitbyStuff]

"Fake psychics". As opposed to what?

@TraceurMeeka "It's pretty arrogant and bigoted to share this nonsense with other people" Its a subjective point of view. His show is based on misdirection, illusion, deceit intended to entertain people. I feel sorry for you, I shall pray that you find some light and intelligence asap.
