One of the best magicians of our time. Its too bad he works mostly in the UK. If you ever listen to him speak or watch one of his shows you will realize he is a very intelligent person. I bought this book simply because I was intrigued by him and his style of magic. The book is such a fun and easy read. He writes the way he speaks which makes it that much more entertaining. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of becoming an entertainer in this industry.
I am a huge Derren Brown fan and love his TV shows and his performances that I have been able to watch. This is a book that kind of condenses a lot of methods of psychology and mentalism. The techniques are given pretty straight forward, but I think they are done well enough to get a good grasp on the idea. Plus it is always fun reading Derren Brown. He has a very playful and mischevious way of writing that I think many will find enjoyable.
As a result of certain conditions, I have a very poor memory, I got this and several other books in hopes that one of them might have some bit of help or some suggestions inside that I might be able to use. Of the 5 books I purchased for this task, this one was worth the price of it and of the other 4 books combined just because of the section on memory alone. I have seen a half dozen specialists and NONE of them ever mentioned any of those suggestions as a means of helping me recall major things let along minor ones, and as mentioned in the book some of the methods have been around for about 2 THOUSAND years, and they REALLY WORK! I am amazed at the effectiveness and a bit pissed that none of the professionals that wasted my time and money had any clue! The memory section is kind of odd actually, just reading the section on memory will IMPROVE your memory, at least for a bit, and actively using the techniques makes life much more easy to manage. I personally think that this stuff should be taught as a mandatory class in the educational system. So yes, for me 5 stars easily.
If you like to know more about how your mind works and how to benefit from it, read this book. Derren Brown is a famous illusionist/mind reader/hypnotist and knows what he's talking about. There are some great stories in this book filled with a good amount of humor. Also, there are some mind tricks you can pick up yourself from this book, I highly recommend them. Don't buy this book if you want a step by step instruction manual on how to hypnotize your wife or husband, because that's not the point of this book. Do buy it to expand your knowledge of how the mind works and gain some valuable information to use in your day-to-day life. And also, Google his name, watch some of his incredible videos, you'll love it!
I'm a huge fan of Derren Brown's work that reading so much about his thoughts and views on religion and humanity - although seemingly out of place in a book that purports to tell us how he does what he does - was fascinating for me, and changed a few long-held opinions of mine. It does ultimately relate to getting into how he thinks, and trying to understand why people hold superstitious and evangelical beliefs is a way to show how easily people can be manipulated which is a major trick of the mind. The actual reveals on card tricks, memory tricks and hypnosis are interesting, but not as thorough as I had hoped. The real trick to these things is hard work and practice and unfortunately no book can give you an easy way to learn them. In the end the memory tricks felt most useful to me, and could have quite astounding effects if one practices. This book felt like an overview for the interested, and that makes sense as Derren Brown is still practicing his craft and he can't give all his secrets away. This was an enormously entertaining read though because of Derren's writing style, and I would recommend everyone to check out his work on youtube and then buy all of his DVDs. It is unfortunate he is not more well known in the States.
I should do a video review and may, a bit later, but for now wanted say this book was amazing. Epically informative (and FUNNY! -- db's british humor is brilliantly funny! seriously!) I loved the loci palace memory methods. He provides three excellent memory mnemonic mind tools "peg, loci, and link" all work fantastically. Have read many books on memory methods and many of the ones in other books are pony and trivial and ineffective. All three of darrrens' mnemonic devices are extremely effective and powerful. They're the only three that work. If you add any more than tthe link, peg, and loci you'll just be repeating variations of one of those three. So even three mbnemonic methods may be unnecessary, but that part WORKS.His discussin of detecting deceit was fantastic and revealing . I loved how he showed ways to to detect deceit from Two angles: Look for signs of truth-telling, look for signs of deceit! He reveals both of those classifications of signs.I loved his intellectual slaughtering of alternative medicine, spiritualism, psychic BS, and religion and have listened to the full Dawkins God delusion audio and plan to delve into that liberating field by scrutinizing and reading more of dawkins and Hitchens.I learned and practiced the two tricks he taught in the book (which really do work, althoguht they're presented as something somewhat metaphorical. I performed the coin one in the squalor of los angeles, but in a pretty cool place at the house of blues, and was met by a gleeful audidence chick.) One thing I LOVED is his humorous and insulting phrases he calls participants "dunderheads" or merry-Andrew or mooncalf. LOL hysterical righteously.what else His discussion of hypnosis was more biographical. Didn't learn much anything new there, but worthwhile to learn about the greatest showmanship hypnotist EVER's bio of hypnotism. Some of the stories, namely the hypnotism as self-defence were extremely amusing.Part5 he goes into ALL of these tells. An enormous array of tells. how voice tone, hand gestures, even EYE flickerings, and micro-face movements all give away lies (or truth if said aberrations are absent). THAT was truly fascinating. he lists 14 signs of truthfulness in speech, voice, body. after this huge assault of give-aways to lying, and patterns that liars use and how their lies are revealed in changes in their wording, their voice tone, everything. That was IMMENSELY cool.by far the coolest part of the book was the short miniscule sub-chapter on "Muscle-Reading". I consider that derren's greatest trick. And unfortunately there was only a short bit on it.Most uplifting was his outright direct cool scientific dissection of the pendulum and ouija board fraudulence and how that works simply through ideomotor effect. This book is something that i can trust. when there's SOOO much fallacious crap (spiritualism, religion, utterly atrotious mysticism crap that's actually published?! How can that stuff get publihed! Dispecable). out there. This is a book is comforting in that it attacks that. So basically this is one of the few books (along with dawkins and science textbooks) that I can actually trust! lol.Fantastic book. And my review is most certainly highly skewed because of my enormous reverence for DB. Fantastic character, easily hands down the most shocking nad impressive stage performances ever (that likely encompasses all genres. Rock concerts are likely sometimes more "energizing" but certainly not more impressive in a way than DB. let's just say they're on par with entertaining) but he does it one-man show, so even more awe-inspiring. Music is still cool. This is quite rambling. but the bottom-line: fantastic book, informative, GREAT anecdotes for detecting liars in body and voice, debunking fallacies of psychics and mediums crap, being extremely humorous and funny, being british (i like and trust british authors MUCh more and by far, the bulk of the authors I've read have been british from Roald Dahl as a kid to Brown, hitchens, and Dawkins now and Douglas adams too of course), entertaining and massively rich with techniques and tricks to expand your mind, slaughter bad thinking, and learn how some part of one of the greatest magician's EVER works!This is VERY good book. It's informative. I will read it again to master the mnemonic techniques, the deceit-detection, touch up on teh card and coin trick, and read up on again and reabsorb the whole Part5:Unconscious communication bit likely. But I read the book very thoroughl, found it informative because of the above mentioned, humorous and incredibly amusing.A joy to read of the candid inside world to this truly World Class International hypnotist and magician.The BEST part of this! is the striking irony that DB simultaneously aims to mystify and awe with his magic as he does simultaneously aim to debunk all fake psychics and BS spiritualitists.The last part on pseudo-science and bad thinking was great, but I'll leave that up to Dawkins and Hitchens. Derren offered obviously a less intellectual, more entertaining, sexier, more performance-based discussion of the kind of dawkins-hitchens anti-religion discussions. That WHOLE anti-pseudo-science anti-religion, atheism thing is very much my bag. Tricks of the mind is an integral text to that "atheist bag" and found this book extremely valuable.
