1. Woo-hoo! Can’t wait….
2. I saw it last year and it was amazing and I’m going again this year. But I am mildly miffed because I want the tour to end so I can buy the DVD!!! Fantastic night out…I always feel like I should pay more to see magic done so perfectly! Thanks Derren!!!
3. i love derren and all his work and i really wanted to see svengali but all the tickets have sold out. luckily i went on ebay and found two tickets for saturdays show in nottingham. i also just found out that derren is the patron for the parrot zoo which is near boston england. I LIVE IN BOSTON!!!!!!!!! lol
4. Why hasn’t the blog been updated since this? X

   Msg from Abeo: We are building a new site 🙂
5. saw it and loved it brilliant Derren love leigh-anne
6. Hi Derren,
   I know you probably won’t get to read this anytime soon yourself but have just got home from watching Svengali in Bristol and it was marvellous…
   I do hope you feel better soon, rather sad that you couldn’t come out and sign tonight though, a very small group of us loitered with intent outside the stage door despite the note, we were hoping it might be a trick! Were either showing great dedication or great stupidity…clearly the latter since you didn’t show! Haha you definitely owe me an autograph now…!
   But seriously, hope you get well again soon, an excellent show. 🙂
   Also, is there a newsletter or mailing list or something? If so would like to be added but don’t know how to go about it, not sure if anyone could please help with that?
   Thanks, Jade 🙂

   Msg from Abeo: There is an old one, but a new site will soon be launched so maybe hold for that.
7. I know this is off topic but why is the blog so quiet? Have seen anything new in almost a month.

8. Dear Derren Brown

   I came to see Svengali last night. WEds 23rd, Nottingham. I spent ages trying to get my big wavy hair into good order for the occasion. I straightened it, then I used those big barrel wavy crimpers and lots of the usual product to try and make it look sleek and presentable.

   I was one of the audience- possibles in the segment before the interval. How did you distinguish me in front of over a thousand people and possible future video/tv audience?

   ‘the lady with frizzy hair’.

   Derren I have to inform you…

   that in context and relevant to the above,

   at that moment

   you

   broke

   poor

9. Saw Svengali last year – going to one of the London shows this year!!
   Wonder what the new additions will be???
   soon see!!
10. OK, always two levels of communication mr. Brown, I notice the noding, and it’s not random and not only that.
    I can imagine what will be the show, unbelievable I guess.
11. Call ,me paranoid but i think I know what you’ve been working on for 4 years and it’s me isn’t it
12. Can’t wait to go! First time I will see anything like this. And I just might the only Norwegian in the audience…lol. Oh well. I couldn’t miss it when I’m actually IN LONDON during his show, could I?

    🙂 🙂 🙂
13. Now I really want to go and see the show! I’ve always wanted to see you live Derren because the things you do are amazing and I’m really interested by everything you do. Do you have to be a certain age to watch your shows?

    Msg from Abeo: The performance is not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
14. Went to see Svengali in MK- Loved the show. Does anyone know what the music was that was played before the show started???

    Me and the mrs are getting married and really want it for the wedding..

    Its like 50’s Swing with a modern twist???

    Please help.
15. Dear darren,

    There are a lot of fans in holland who would love to see your show,
    Regards a fan
16. sir i wish i can see your show live but it is not possible (because i live in india) but i am eagerly waiting to see your show online
17. Loved the warm up music used before you came on to perform your Svengali show, what tracks did you use?
    Great show,as always.
18. Can you have an ETA on when the new site will be launched? 🙂

    Msg from Abeo: A couple of weeks, not confirmed yet
19. My bold self shall organise one more viewing. Maybe a bit closer this time. Damn vegetarians must take all the good seats?!¿¡ Wish I had a smart gift this time but I’ve decided a useful gift shall pass from one to another. I guess it wont be long till you watch Red Lights. I wonder if any of the characters are based on you.. Maybe the Dead Bird, Doctor Tom B guy. Hehe. Stay awesome. Mark x
20. Hello. I would like to inform you that you have a great mind! And do some awesome stuff with it. Nice show, it’s entertaining. I want your books, because honestly… I am forming my own belief system and I believe that some of the things you’ve done have destroyed my previous previous previous ones (note previous, as I’ve been trying to find the ‘truth’ for a long long time lol and I keep coming across new information, and new levels of awareness to what’s actually going on with all these freaks in my life lol) … So props to you and your work. It is well.
21. Hi Derren,
    Im just wondering when the dvd will be avaliable??
    Im from New Zealand and enjoy your shows, and I cant wait until this one is released
22. Hi, my girlfriend and i recently missed out on going to see derrens show in glasgow despite having booked tickets 6 months previously, this was due to a series of unfortunate events and topped off by missing a great show that we had been looking forward to for a long time. We were unable to attain any refunds and i have been lookin for a way towrite to derren to tell him the story in hopes that he could possibly write my girlfriend Aimee a 21st birthday message to go some way to making up for a bad year for her? Any feedback would be fantastic!
23. Been wanting to see you live for over 7 years now. Finally today I booked my ticket, plus a Belgian friend who only discovered you 2 days ago is coming too.

    See you on July 27th
24. i want to be in ya show derren im 39 biggest fear is prison
25. Derren you haven’t posted for so long on your blog?! This is your worst disappearing effect I’ve seen yet!

    Msg from Abeo: We are developing a new site 🙂
26. I wish i lived in london. So many wonderful things come out of there. Look forward to any of Derren Brown NY shows. Lots of good stuff here also, but i think we crave what we cannot have. 🙂
27. In my mind which includes many things you are a little like the christ…I have been a tad fanatic about your material in the past, so much so it has informed my personality. Thankyou.. Keep up the damn good work. =)
28. Not sure where else to ask this, but received a email the other day telling me that I could view DB shows on Vimeo site. I have joined their but all I can see is trailers of DB shows, how do I the entire show?

    Msg from Abeo: I’ve not heard about that, forward the email to admin@derrenbrown.co.uk and we will check it out for you
29. Will Svengali” be shown on TV and/or available on DVD? (hope so!) 🙂

    Msg from Abeo: Follow the Blog/Facebook or Twitter account and we will announce as soon as it’s confirmed.
30. Hey. I want to subscribe to the blog in general (not just one blog post), but can’t see if this is possible. Is there a way to do this or do I just have to pay attention myself 😛

    Sorry for posting this under here, didn’t find any e-mail adress just for the blog section. Also: Svengali was great! Can’t wait for the DVD 😀

    Thanks 🙂

31. Would love to get to London to see this but looks like the dates are no good for me with London being so far away, will this be available for sale on DVD or shown on TV?

    Msg from Abeo: It will be on TV, not set date as to when it will be shown yet.
32. Went to see Derren a few days ago in London, he was magnificent! Second time i’ve seen him live and both times i’ve been blown away by how much energy and enthusiasm he puts into his performance, especially as his voice was poorly this time. I was gutted that it meant he couldn’t come out and sign but i’m glad he didn’t if he was feeling bad. Just hope he can have a hugely deserved break after the London run with time to recover because he must be exhausted. Would like to send him many get well again soon wishes!
    Know it’s silly to ask, but I handmade Derren a card and sent it to the theatre, it would have got there on the 8th, was wondering if he got it? Would mean a lot. 🙂

    Loving the love for Derren in these comments, he’s awesome.
    Thanks for an amazing show Derren! Love Leanne X
