Magician Brian Brushwood recounts on his blog the tale of how Teller, the mute half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, sent him a lovely letter in reply to his own that changed his career for the better. It is so great that we have to share it with you, especially since we all know Derren has expressed his appreciation of Teller’s magic often (for example in his book). You just know it’s worth a read when the letter starts like this;
“My dear bastard son,
It is about time you wrote, my boy.”
Read the whole story on this link and find Derren’s own letter of advice to a young mentalist in the Svengali Brochure.

I was wondering of there's an age restriction to this show?
Msg from Abeo: The performance will not be suitable for under 12’s.

We were lucky enough to see Infamous last night and hubby thought this particular show was the best tour so far. We usually spend the car ride home discussing what we’ve experienced and how Derren fooled us but this show is so cleverly put together we were stumped as to how a lot of things could possibly be achieved.
Derren was on top form never missing a beat, he’s always had the talent and ability to entertain his audience but this show will emotionally engage you from the very beginning …you just can’t help but be moved by some of the things he does and says……I’m not going to say anymore as Derren always asks us to “keep the show’s content a secret” and I would hate to spoil it for other people especially as Derren’s performance always stays with me long after the show has “ left town” and I know a lot of people feel the same way.
@ Robert Perkins …yep I agree…we had to resort to eBay this year but I’m so glad we did ….it was well worth it. Have you tried to get tickets for London? Compared to some of the ebay prices it may work out cheaper.
We both fell in love with Oxford by the way…awesome place beautiful atmosphere.

Good to see Derren and Andy on a project together again. Anyone know if it will it be filmed (for those of us not in the UK)?

This is going to be special, mark my words (not like the other ones weren't) get in fast. You'll be infamous.

Love this! As a Hypnotist – this still resonates
And this is exactly why I love that guy. Well, both those guys, really. Derren may be more of my ‘thing’ magic-wise because I’m in love with Victorian parlour stuff and he’s the closest thing to that while still being current, but I have such a big love for P&T because they’re just so DAMNED GOOD at what they do. I love magic of any kind, I’ve been to the big Vegas Hans Klok shows, but P&T and Derren are the only people that make me gasp when I see them perform. Precisely because of that surprise element that Teller describes. There’s craftsmen and then there’s artists. And they are artists.
paternally,
Teller.
By the by, young Fitzteller.
Should you stumble across my old genes some where. Kindly keep them, as a memento.
I love this letter so much. Such excellent advice to any artist…or to anyone, really.
Derren’s letter…I think I know the very one? Was it the one he wrote as a post in the Magic Cafe a few years ago, to a ten-year old? I saw it and thought it was so delightful that I printed it out and showed my friends! And reposted it here, on DB’s blog, a couple years ago. It’s so cheerful, it can brighten up a gloomy day!
Thank you, Mr. Brown for share this letter. I am mentalist in Brazil and today I made my first presentation in my hometown (Rio), although I made some presentations in the capital, I was very, very nervous about this..
This letter made me keep moving forward.
Thanks from my heart.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
Hugs,
Leo.
