Haha - funny enough... I was gonna do most of what you mentioned.
I didn't want to say it here because Derren Brown might be reading it.
If Derren Brown is really that good - he'll figure out if you're
trying to trick him or not anyways. When you have £50 riding on this
you will give away things and that's when he'll say "This hand" x 5
and you'll be like "holy shit!".
I wanted him to sign my Pure Effect book, that's the only item not
signed by him so far.
Which theatre are you going to be at? I'll be at Lewisham and Croydon.
Hopefully we can meet up and try the coin trick on each other too.
