I'm jealous! I'd love to see them live!

I haven't read it actually, but just had a quick look and it's on my list to read now so thank you! Honestly, a lot of friends and family members have commented their concern that my memory isn't great and I've been researching ways to improve it. I read a lot of scripts, listen to a lot of songs, and change my passwords as much as often to random letters and numbers and try to remember them. I find the passwords give me the extra sense of need to remember them because it will be an issue if I can't remember them! Hopefully my memory will improve over time 😅

Thank you!!!

Heya, thanks for the comment! You got it right, going out and performing is honestly the best way to learn! There are lots of ways to get around not performing the same trick twice. The easy and expensive option is to buy more books or tricks to do with mentalism. The cheaper, more creative and harder way is to not learn more tricks, but to present them differently. You'll learn that most tricks, are the same method in some way, so take what you already know and have a different speech or presentation to it! If someone is asking to do the same trick you have just done, and they have seen you do, a way to get through this is by saying, "I actually think you'll do a lot better with something else, would you like to try?" And then perform a different trick or the same, just presented different like said before. Hope that helps ☺️

@@chasingtheillusion52 yeah that does help, luckily, I had a few packs of cards and did some other tricks. They work really well together, and once you've planted the seed that you can "mind read" you can get away with easier things with marked deck for example. I also added a great kicker to a mentalism 'think of a card" trick (not sure whats its called) with an invisible deck, revealing the original card he thought of - he was mind blown - "I'll be thinking of that all night now" I also heard from another magician "once a trick, twice a lesson" and I've used that a few times. If you have any other one liners like that then please share - also could be a good idea for a video if you fancied a deeper dive into it? It's very powerful stuff and I'm enjoying it a lot. Your channel is criminally undersubscribed, although I appreciate the small audience, makes it feel a bit special.

It's my own design! You can pick one up yourself, along with lots of other designs in the link in the description ☺️♥️

@@chasingtheillusion52 if it was in a Walk in magic shop like Abbott magic company or Lewis Tannens magic shop chuck whendly magic &more in Norfolk Virginia then he chuck whendly moved to bigger warehouse in ocean view pscause story family are used to those companies and Bob Scofield also ps Bob Scofield also likes penguin magic and vanishing Inc and therory 11 ps Bob Scofield tells me and other friends what happened to the brick and mortar Walk in Magic shop days? ps we used to go to magic lectures and every year Bob Scofield two times then every year with Story family Chrysler Hall in Norfolk Virginia to see the magic of David Copperfield and one time mickey magic show there and public schools the Virginia symphony there back in the days 1970s 1980s and two thousand and something

Thank you so much! The deck in the video is the Madison Bangers - I just did a quick search and they are really hard to come by now ☺️

@@chasingtheillusion52 Had a search too, can't find them

Oh interesting, and I'm sorry to hear that! I'll be honest, I have no idea how to do it with eyes. If I was to attempt this, it would also have to be in person too

Hey i would like to know if you would do it for me too? And if not give me sources(path to make it)​@chasingtheillusion52

Thanks for the comment! I'll add them to the list ☺️

I always thought everybody did! Turns out I was wrong 😅

Thanks for watching!!

@@chasingtheillusion52 No problemo!

No AI used! I was trying not to go into too much detail on how he does his tricks, it's not for me to say butttttt... Derren is a master of covering up what he is actually doing, even sometimes telling you how he does it, when in fact that isn't at all how it was done (if that makes any sense). I think I've seen that clip! The thing I LOVE about mentalism, and one of the main reasons why I lean towards that, not magic, is because most people believe that there is a science behind it. And there is to some degree, but you can pull off a lot with generic tricks disguised as body language etc. Thanks for the comment!

"And some of his tricks are pretty much outright cheating." DB claims not use any stooges or as you put it, "cheats". If he did, lawsuits will be landing on his doorstep.

@@harvinderrishiraj5901 In my opinion, I don't think stooges are a problem, I don't see much difference between lying that the people in use aren't stooges compared to lying about making a coin disappear. It's all deceptive, and if people find it interesting and entertaining then what's the problem? Again, just my opinion 😂

@chasingtheillusion52 Stooges aren't an issue if declared. With Derren, he's explicitly outlined non are used. I've been to 2 of his live shows in the mid 2000s.

Why do they need to be declared? Most magicians and mentalists don't declare their methods, and it is just another method at the end of the day

Thank you!!

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the comment! Honestly not doing this for any type of monetisation, in fact, I have lost money making this series. If you do watch the other episodes, you will see, for the most part, that it is genuine

No no, thank YOU for being part of it!!

Thank you for your support as always!! The exact same happend to me with my family so I totally understand what you mean. Being young does factor in I think, maybe it's because we are better at imagining at that age or (maybe) children are more susceptable to the paranormal?

That's a really beautiful way of looking at it! Perception really does factor in on if people believe or not, it's something we discuss in later episodes ☺️

Thanks for the comment! It's interesting how you explain it as your "reality". We touch on people's perceptions of magic in other episodes too!

@chasingtheillusion52 Thank you for your response. I look forward to more of your content. I find magic and mystery so fascinating (the positive). I can just never find it. Any time something magical happens, it gets debunked really fast. The fan was moving it, glare of my glasses, etc. I guess if I had an experience, it would be solid proof that there is something greater. But it's never there and can get really discouraging sometimes. So I don't let myself get to far into it anymore

I am exactly the same! In this episode I had to bite my tongue and not come up with ideas on how it was possible. Because JUST IMAGINE if all the ideas and theories we come up with are all wrong and the simple answer of "magic" or "ghosts" is the actual answer? Just allowing myself throughout the episode and series to pretend it's real until I have proof really helped me understand it a little better

​@@chasingtheillusion52 Keep up the great work. You do a great job

Honestly, neither can I ☺️

Huge fan of your channel, Cavan Booth!! Receive my greetings!!

So glad you are part of it bro! Can't believe it's finally here! 😅
