You’ll know Derren Brown as a mentalist, but did you know he started off as a sleight of hand card magician? The material in this download was once offered on VHS in limited quantities and then traded for very high prices in the secondary market. This download is a remastered version of the original tape and contains Derren’s card magic work. His thinking is second to none and this is highly recommended.
