Extremely rare and long out-of-print video 'The Devil's Picture Book' by
DERREN BROWN. The tape was filmed in Derren's Bristol flat with actor friend
Peter Clifford and goes through 14 staggering and inspirational effects. It
was originally only available through Derren's own website exclusively to
magicians.
This beautifully-produced double-length tape contains highly sophisticated
magic and mind-reading with playing cards. It is the perfect accompaniment
to Brown's book Pure Effect - many of those truly breathtaking routines are
demonstrated and explained in detail here. Some of the mind-reading card
routines are breathtaking in their deviousness and cunning. Some of the
sleights and turnovers appear like real miracles.
For example, the 2 Invisible Deal routines which require no cards are
examples of pure mind-reading at its most breathtakingly potent.
For ten years Derren was a professional close-up magician before making the
move to perform only mind-reading. It was with his card-magic that he made a
name for himself - this tape contains all of that world-class card
repertoire. The viewer is then taken into examples and explanations of his
unique brand of direct mind-reading which has gone a long way towards
revolutionising mentalism for the new millennium.
Imagine being able to hand a spectator a card and have her put it in her
pocket sight unseen. You then ask her to name any card... and when she pulls
it out of her pocket it is the very same! No switches, no sleights... Derren
actually makes her think of the correct card. Learn these techniques and
embark on a new way of thinking which may change the way you perform magic
for ever.
