Sang,
I don't feel it would be right for me to share information about me
on what is, essentially, a place for fans of Derren. If you're
interested in my personal style [which is, incidentally, although
similar as it is so unique, different to Derrens] then look at the
new website which will go online later in May....hopefully.
I was just a little annoyed to read that I was "copying Derren", and
branded unfairly as someone out to mimic and take over Derren's
persona. Think of it, simply, like other professional performers
performing 'street magic' - they aren't copying or "out to get"
David Blaine, they are giving the public what they want. It is
slightly different in this context because of the specialist nature
of this particular style and there are therefore less of us doing it.
If I don't reply, I'm not being rude, only I don't make a point of
watching these forums. I'll let you get on now with enjoying
Derren's performance. I hope I've cleared a few things up.
Another Derren Brown? No. I'm Jez Rose.
