Hi Derren – firstly, congratulations on your phenomenal success…well done that man!
Since the airing of the Mind Control Series a few years ago you have significantly and consistently raised the performance bar and added a much needed breath of fresh air back into magic with performances that focus heavily on the spectator creating the magic for themselves but one where the spectator doesn’t feel patronised. You have also inspired and rekindled an incalculable number of people’s passion for magic as evidenced by the 1000’s of posts relating to you and your work on this site alone. For some of the effects you have performed and the underlying ideas I find it difficult to see how you could better them and that you have stretched the use of them to the absolute max. Obviously, you are working in a very pressurised environment where everyone is expecting you to keep raising the bar and creating more and more magical experiences. Because of this and the fact that you are still a youngster I was wondering where you see your career heading...whether you see yourself continuing to perform within the realms of psychological illusion or will choose to walk in a totally different direction whether performance related or not? All the best. Justin |

Justin (and Kukram) - thanks for the nice words. That's very flattering, though not necessarily true...
If I start to feel that there's no life left in this, then obviously I'll shift direction, or continent. But for the moment, there's a lot I'd like to explore, and in many ways it gets easier to think up new ideas, as I have a clearer sense of what I want to do now than before. I vastly prefer the live shows, so I think I'll keep touring for a long time, even if I cut right down on the TV shows or leave them altogether (by choice or otherwise. Probably otherwise.) Thanks for the 'youngster' bit. Don't feel it much at the moment. Thanks... db |
