Ah, I had the feeling it was an autobiography. “My Life in Art”? Ha ha ha.

I’m thrilled to hear that there are talks of a broadway run. Rest assured I will be there with my friends if it happens.

I’ve just read you call magic “the best job in the world.” I suppose I should not be surprised that your view has changed somewhat in the last 10 years, but it makes me so proud that you continue on anyway, using any frustrations to spur your art. I wish we could all have that kind of wisdom and dedication regarding our callings.

Well, now we know that the ‘new project’ he has offered to us to take part in are specials that will be filmed in summer! Hm – that means they should be out by autumn… Was surprised about the broadway talk. Maybe that suggests there will not be a uk live show in 2011, which would be a complete shame for me… but never mind: this article was very interesting and I hope that mr brown will do very well!

I agree with Andy. I am as excited about Derren’s upcoming stuff as I was the last Harry Potter book

I think you should at lest consider having part of your US performance in Vegas. I t would not hurt you to hit the other half of the country, and if your trying to get in to TV being close to LA- TV-land would be a good thing. Also penn of Penn and teller pointed out In Vegas you can live like a king on an “entertainers salary”

The bit about a U.S. show has me positively giddy.

Oh now, NOBODY with the talent and ability to entertain others should ever waste so much as a single minute feeling embarrassed or apologetic about what they do! (Unless it’s penis puppetry, in which case…).

I hope you go down a storm in the States next year, but don’t stay away too long, eh?

And a P. Spencer one after. I will get my copy framed which will help me teach my little one. She loves the so called Devils on the Totm covers so I am half way. Chuffed Derren did the Big Issue as I’m now thinking he is an alright guy. Must have been an idea by Coops!
