Rating:  - is this the most reviewed book on Amazon?
Derren Brown is incredible.
As many have said in these pages, he does not reveal all, but what he does reveal is enough to start the ball rolling and get you thinking in ways that you woud not have done.
Of course he will not give everything away, that would spoilt it for us all (although I would really like to know how he does these things!).
The book itself is a strange mixture - some techniques are described which would be unique to understand fully and ... Read More
Rating: - A real treasure trove of a book!
Every night I look at this book and am both creeped out and fascinated by it. It's like one of those 'Haunted Painting' horror stories - like 'Road Virus heads North' or 'Picture of Dorian Gray'. However, through the genius of Derren Brown, these stories have become reality, with a book that is mesmerising (derived from the word 'Frank') on the outside and even better within...

Rating: - Smug and very disappointing
I really enjoyed Derren Brown's tv shows, in fact I could hardly wait to watch them. And one of the things I liked was that I thought Derren came across as being funny, kind and compassionate towards his audience. This book shattered those illusions and I haven't watched him on the television since. In this book I found that he came across as being smug, derogatory and quite offensive. I may not choose to follow a certain religion myself ... but I don't care to hear someone else deride and poke fun ... Read More
Rating: - A really enjoyable read
If you are even slightly interested in the methods Derren uses in his shows then you should give this book a read, of course he doesn't reveal everything the book would be huge!
He covers simple card and coin magic, memory, hypnosis, unconscious communication and pseudo-science and branches into various categories within these chapters. He tells you everything you need to know on a basic level but then gives a reading list if you are particularly interested in finding out more information which ... Read More
