We all recognize Derren Brown as one of the finest mentalists of our age. His critically acclaimed writings, television shows, and theatrical productions have made him a respected, household name all over the world. Everyone knows that.
What fewer people know is that years before his fame, Derren was an amazing magician. He released The Devil’s Picturebook in 1999, a stunning collection of material years ahead of its time. The magic and mentalism he performs and teaches offer a rare glimpse into how Derren thinks about his magic, and how he constructs routines. Then, as now, the audience’s emotions are always Derren’s primary focus.
After years of being unavailable, . Magic is proud to offer this remastered two-disc DVD set with a gorgeous new slipcase and packaging. The first disc details Derren’s card work, and the second disc features his more psychological material. This was, until this moment, a highly sought-after COLLECTOR’S ITEM. Now, we’re pleased that is available once again in this new, remastered format. And it is every bit as potent as when it came out.
