Subject: Re: this site
I agree with Nicky and Mark. This was the first Yahoo Group I've ever
joined and it's great that it is so active. In fact, it appears that
the messages are sometimes unavailable due to so many people
accessing them. I find most of the topics discussed really
interesting and the ones I don't, I just don't read.
As Nicki says, this is a fan site which has evolved to contain some
magicians, some NLP experts and just average bods, like me. Nobody
should feel they are not qualified to speculate on how Derren's
tricks are achieved. Because it is just that: speculation. In my
opinion, there are many ways he could achieve the effects he does and
it's interesting to discuss them. At the end of the day, only the man
Derren actually knows.....
Sorry if I've repeated what others have said, but I felt I wanted to
per my tuppence worth in too..... :-)
