It supposed to look similarly. That's what making illusions is about.
If you know nothing about how those tricks work in principle it is very unlikely that you get the right interpretion in your mind.
You don't learn something about how things work by watching what Derren does.

He does not, as far as I can see, say it's a sham -- only that people seeing him do that should not expect to do exactly the same thing just because they take a photoreading course.

You should be more careful in reading. He says in the article that there no way to archieve that result through photoreading.
He says that photoreading has some viable useage.
He doesn't say that you can do the things he does through photoreading.
Some photoreading effects of that kind get archieved the way moviestar described. He pick number and try to force them. That no foolproof method but you can have ten trials and show the one that worked on TV.
It could also work through clever useage of cameras.
