Hello David,

I’m sorry but Derren is banned after his last visit, several of the competitors complained they had no recollection of who they are or where they were and we all ended up in a pub, eating egg sandwiches 11 miles from the venue.

What was your question again?

Usain Bolt and Tiger Woods arent banned from competitions. I dont think he would win anyway. Im sure he hasnt been banned and its just a joke to add to his aura.

Seems a bit unfair... I think Derren said he was banned from casinos as well for using the memory palace technique to help him win at blackjack. Seems a bit unfair…
