Has anybody seen this? I went to see it last night and WOW... I've never seen anything like it in my whole life. Out of respect for Derren's wishes, I won't disclose any of the events that actually took place during the show as he pleaded with us not to, but anybody thinking about going, go!

He's one of the greatest examples of a true master at work, charming, funny, charismatic, confident, seamless and just fantastic fun.

Has anybody else gone to see him? :D

I saw this back in June at the Lowry theatre in Salford. I must admit, I sneered at everything he had done before and was dragged kicking and screaming to see his show. My opinion has been totally changed of him since seeing his live show. The final trick was mind blowingly good.

The trance thing was a bit tedious, but the actual trick behind it was excellent. The Tv show missed a lot out and was heavily edited from the live show.

I urge anyone, especially those that look down their noses at him, to go and see his live shows. He really is a very clever illusionist/magician.
 
I used to enjoy his shows, but not any more. Mainly since his lottery stunt and when he slagged of those spirit mediums. Edit: oh and that airplane stunt as well which was so obviously BS.
 
Was a pretty decent show, hoping to go see his new one when it comes round this way in March I think it is.
 
Just watched this on 4OD with my house mate! We been up all night getting wired and after watching that our brains are truely mashed!

He really is the Einstein of modern entertainment!

Very very talent and strange human being! Will we ever see anyone like him ever again! I dunno but he's defo a freak of nature! I'm 110% going to see his show this year!
 
I think gays are great and I'd love to be one but I can't do the batty thing.

A couple of vodkas and some axle grease and you'd change your mind.

Just watched the show, great viewing. Really enjoyed it. Pity the poor ******* who has to hoover up afterwards though.
 
What got me were all the idiots in the audience who had their hands over their mouths when he was doing the Medium trick as though there were real ghosts in there.

Interestingly Penn & Teller said on their show that all this psychological stuff is BS when they watched a magician trying to fool them by suggesting the 10 of Hearts.
 
Saw it and loved it. Going to see him in June on his new Svengali tour. If I get picked with the frisbee/flying monkey I think I'll cream my pants.
 
I thought it was pretty obvious there was someone behind the curtain. You could see it twitch!
Good ending though :)
