“Dubbed a
‘psychological illusionist’ by the Press, Derren Brown is a performer who
combines magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship in order
to seemingly predict and control human behaviour, as well as performing
mind-bending feats of mentalism. For the past ten years Derren has created TV
and stage performances that have stunned audiences, debunked the paranormal and
encouraged many to improve and enhance their own mental abilities. His first
show appeared in 2000, Derren Brown: Mind Control, and followed with Trick of
the Mind, Trick or Treat and a series of Specials including the controversial
Russian Roulette and the hugely popular Events. (…)
Derren is a
keen writer and has penned four books to date. Whilst his first two books,
Absolute Magic and Pure Effect, are both out of print his third release Tricks
of the Mind spent over 30 weeks on the Amazon best-seller list. His fourth
release Confessions of a Conjurer was released in.(…)
Derren has
consistently stunned audiences across the nation with his live stage shows,
earning him a string of award nominations. He has won both the Laurence Olivier
Award for Best Entertainment Show, and a Silver Rose d’Or for Variety. A 2011
tour is planned as well as a possible broadway run. While his performances
create the illusion that he has some kind of paranormal powers, Derren is a
prominent sceptic and a pronounced atheist. The Blog is a repository of news
items that explore these facets of Derren’s persona. The articles are submitted
by visitors to the Blog and discussed in the comments sections. A diverse range
of topics are covered, encompassing Science, Technology, Art, Magic, Religion
and some good old-fashioned silliness. In addition to his award-winning
performances on stage and television, Derren is also an accomplished artist.
Specialising in a unique style of caricatured portraiture, Derren’s work has
been exhibited at the prestigious Rebecca Hossack Gallery in central London as
well as being published in a collected volume of works in which Derren also
writes about his passion for the medium and his development as an artist.”
