Hi Derren,
Just wanted to say that though I'm not a magician or mentalist or anything like that, I nonetheless purchased both of your books and had a delightful read. I have recently finished by Bachelor degree in Philosophy and really enjoy esthetics and Art theory and do believe that magic as you define it can be art; I essentially believe that art is a state of mind. Anyway, nice to see that a few intelligent people still exist in show business! Cheers P.S. Are there any plans for CH4 to repeat your 1st TV series? I missed that one... |

Hi Derren. I understand that you were a Christian for a time, but you're not currently religious. I have to say that blasphemy prior to playing Russian roulette struck me as extraordinarily daring. Does this mean you now have an unusual degree of faith in atheism?

I've writtena bit about beliefs in the 'debunking' thread.
Yes, used to be a very happy-clappy Christian. Then came to realise that it seemed to work like any beleif system, and that everything I found frustrating about new-age believers (and woolly, circular-beliefs which were desperately defended because they were ultimately not about belief but about identity)I could apply to myself. So I felt I needed a more rigorous defence of it that the emotive truisms I was given from churches, and started reading around how the Bible was put together and so on. I felt more comfortable not having the pat answers and ultimately circular arguments I had had before, and thought that from a new uncertainty I might build a respectable belief. But that part never happened: it all just started to look silly. However, do refer to my answer in the debunking thread. Wasn't aware of any blasphemy before the RR. I did say **** though. Thought it was quite nicely placed... Thanks, db |
