DVD Description

The Derren Brown – Trick Of The Mind – Series 1 DVD reveals the astounding craft of one of the world's leading psychological illusionists. With his unique skills and tricks, Derren Brown both amazes and disturbs people--including, in this series, celebrities such as Martin Kemp and Stephen Fry. Trick Of The Mind is the much anticipated follow-up to "Derren Brown – Inside Your Mind" and, as such, his visual and psychological stunts are executed on a much bigger and more adventurous scale. Watch this DVD in awe as the UK's number one showman fuses the power of suggestion, psychology and misdirection to predict and control human behaviour.

Customer Reviews

Baffling!
After watching Derren Brown you are left think 'how is it done?'.
He explains how he manages to do some of the tricks, but with some he leaves you in the blue.
The one with Grand Master chess players I thought was particularly clever.
He does do some street magic, but this is repeated in all the episodes, I wouldn't say it's boring but does get a little repetitive.
Over all very entertaining, and its perfect if like to have something to think about!

Cracking entertainment...but beware faulty commentary....
Excellent DVD which nicely showcases Derren's skills. The shows are brilliant, and leave you with plenty of "How the hell did he do that?!?!" moments. Extras are amusing, although I would have liked to have had a bit more behind the scenes footage, and perhaps a slightly longer interview with Derren - the one on the "Inside your Mind" DVD was ace.

To echo the previous reviewer, I too had a faulty disk, which meant I couldn't access the commentary - however, a new disk is currently on its way, so hopefully I will be able to enjoy a bit more of Derren's charming banter. The geezer is seriously talented - buy the DVD and have a look!

FAULTY COMMENTARY
DATE:3/2/2007 I am writing this review as a warning to people buying the dvd after 3rd Feb 2007. I have no complaints about the show or Derren's great perfomance, but twice now I have bought this from amazon.co.uk and had to return it because of a fault with the commentary. The commentary is not there, it is only accessible as subtitles. I have told amazon this and they have been very helpful, but in the meantime, I feel they should have withdrawn this from sale as it seems to be problem with more than one rogue dvd.
