Synopsis
The internationally-acclaimed psychological illusionist takes a live theatre audience and viewers on a jaw-dropping, laugh-out-loud journey to a climax of the most astonishing mind-reading.
Held at the Garrick Theatre in London, Derren does his best to debunk the theories used by Victorian spiritualists and mediums.
He replicates the 'art' of table turning, the Victorian Ouija-style practice used to fool many in their day, and Derren also interacts with the audience as he reads certain members' minds and guesses key words they have written down and sealed in an envelope.
This is Derren at his best; funny, energised and a master of audience control.
The show features plenty of audience participation, shocking stunts and mind games, as Derren demonstrates why he is one of the UK's most exciting live performers.
