Ok, I believe you, but I was hoping to learn more about photoreading with this. I mean, it helps to know what the limits of something are, to see what the experts can do with it. That gives you an idea of what you can do, as a beginner, and what you can expect later on.

How about going through 1 page at 1 paragraph per second? Can that be done? Can I remember the names of 3 authors and 2 books with this method, easier than I could without knowing photoreading?

Really? That's kind of suprising to me, as what he does seems pretty straightforward - he is a magician using his skills to fool people, and he is open about using tricks and manipulation. In this particular experiment, it would seems any trick would be totally unimpressive, since anyone can put a camera behind the librarian and see what he is reading, or some other trick. It would be just dumb and would require no skill, while Derren's tricks are usually pretty clever, at least I think so.
