Strangely, I think this is one of the weakest things he does, for
that exact reason. Normally his routine is that of a supposed
ordinary person 'tuning in' to what the rest of us can't observe. The
emphasis is usually on the people involved in the effect, not Derren
himself. I find the candle endurance incongruous, because it's all
about Derren. (Also, if he can do it with his hand, why not do it
with his face?! Let's up the ante, folks.)
You can probably tell I am not really fond of endurance fruitcakes
like David Blaine et al. So he stood on a stick for a weekend (or
whatever!). If David Blaine wants to hang around New York
impersonating a lollipop, I for one am not watching. Now if he could
do a cool card trick while he was up there...
