Derren Brown's television and stage performances have entranced and dumbfounded millions. His baffling illusions and stunning set pieces - such as The Seance, Russian Roulette and The Heist - have set new standards of what's possible, as well as causing more than their fair share of controversy. Now, for the first time, he reveals the secrets behind his craft, what makes him tick and just why he grew that beard. Tricks of the Mind takes you on a journey into the structure and pyschology of magic. Derren teaches you how to read clues in people's behaviour and spot liars. He discusses the whys and wherefores of hypnosis and shows how to do it. And he investigates the power of suggestion and how you can massively improve your memory. He also takes a long hard look at the paranormal industry and why some of us feel the need to believe in it in the first place. Alternately hilarious, controversial and challenging, Tricks of the Mind is essential reading for Derren's legions of fans, and pretty bloody irresistible even if you don't like him that much... HIS NEW BOOK, A LITTLE HAPPIER: NOTES FOR REASSURANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW.

Tricks of the Mind leads you through some interesting insights into the life of Derren Brown while leaving you to wonder how much he is hiding. He covers ways to remember increasingly complex lists of items and expands from a few items to how a "Mind Palace" works. Some tricks are explained and again expanded upon so that you could spend days weeks or just minutes on each chapter. He also covers how to hypnotise somebody but interestingly implies that there is no such thing as a hypnotic trance. I found the book as interesting as his shows and look forward to reading more of his offerings.
