I caught my first episode the other day and was impressed, although I do have to wonder about some of the things he does. In the show I saw, he paid for jewelry with blank pieces of paper, and managed to talk people on the street out of everything in their pockets. I have to wonder how the jewelry store clerk managed to keep his job after being conned on camera the way he was. I also have to wonder how Derrin Brown managed to avoid being pounded into the pavement after being caught 'scamming' people.
Is 'Tricks of the Mind' available in the US? I just tried to find it on Amazon without any luck, although there were several 'related searches' with various spellings (Derrin/Darrin/Darin/etc) of his name linked with that title. I did find 'Pure effect: Direct mind reading and magical artistry by Derren Brown', but it must be hard to find because Amazon wanted $495.00 for it.
