Subject: Exposure of magic secrets?
This is a forum for people to discuss what Derren does, how he does
it and what he looks like while he does it. Most people write
nonsense about how they think he is accomplishing his feats but when
someone writes something that is accurate, the magicians start
worrying.
Here's a much overlooked fact: Most of what Derren does is magic.
Trickery. You know that clipboard he uses on stage? It's as dodgy as
f***. You know the way he can write down a letter and have someone
work out what it is? It uses a standard magicians/mentalists prop.
You know the way he can tell someone the name of their childhood
friend by "throat reading"? Guess what, he knows the name of the
friend before he starts the presentation.
Are we meant to only discuss what Derren does if we have outlandish
and very, very wrong theories? Is it only exposure if we are correct?
