Subject: [Derren Brown] Re: Another Derren Brown?! (Jez Rose)
Jez Rose does what he does and he does it well. The most important
line of Jez's reply was "another Derren Brown, no, I'm Jez Rose". I
attend the worlds largest magic convention every year. There you
will find over 3000 magicians all crammed into every guest house in
town. You could have them all perform the same 'effect' and you
would see 3000 different tricks. Every magician has a unique mind
and a unique way of doing things, sure some may be similar but they
are performed by INDIVIDUALS. Gerry Sadowitz opened his act in
Glasgow with one of ny favourite card effects. Do I shout "copy-
cat"? No, Gerry is just as entitled to do that trick as I am.
Whether Jez looks and sounds like DB or not does not matter. As an
individual he has the right to act and dress and perform however he
chooses. As a professional magician it makes good business sense to
give the public what they want. At the moment they want mind magic
and the paranormal, that's why I have a whole page on my website
promoting my paranormal act. That's why hundreds of other magicians
are also exploiting DB's popularity. Professional magicians perform
for a living and like any business have to keep up with customer
demands. Jez Rose, an individual doing his thing.
