DB performs some very impressive "psychological trickery"; his card forces
for a start (eg. 3 of Diamonds) is VERY clever. This power of
mind-over-mind is what I find so impressive - it is childishly simplistic
yet brain paralyzingly impressive.

Yes, sadly, he also uses cheesy card tricks and the likes to pad the gaps
in his show.
>Can you also give examples of where you think he has used 'tricks'?
You can see my earlier post "Stooges Actors and Tricks - The Exposé" for a
full explanation of one such occasion - And I can assure you that this is
not the only one I have found since I have gone looking for them.
