• Answer:

  Just remember that Derren Brown is an entertainer and uses a variety of techniques to make it look like he is doing one thing when he is actually doing something else. If you are seriously interested in Derren Brown's approach begin by getting some basic books on magic, one that doesn't just focus specific tricks but looks at the impact of how you present a trick to take the audience with you. Then you can focus on the area of mentalism called mentalism. But just remember, once you know the secrets it's a lot less exciting than it looks. Also remember that Derren Brown has had years of practice and spends hours perfecting his delivery. M
