Well, as Derren takes things easy after a long month of interviews, I retire to the depths of my electrical archives and sort through the dusty creations of binary excellence. More articles, including a special one-off article, where Derren gives advice on sex! Who would have thought?!!

At the weekend, I switched over to Jonathan Ross' show on BBC1 and caught the end of David Blaine's appearance. I'm not sure if all you Derren fans out there noticed as well, but didn't I see a mysterious goatee-bearded fellow sitting next to David right at the end of the show in the green room?

Amongst lots of articles, handshake induction - one of Derren's most used techniques, is now added to the psychology source...

I shall leave you to peruse at your leisure an old magic interview, multiple reviews of Derren's live performance at the tobacco factory and the new handshake induction.

Until next time...

A slightly less interesting, but quick update today:

We have someone would is willing to provide copies of MC1, 2 and 3 on a tape (without adverts) for the cost of the tape and post&packing. Please note that this kind offer from someone who wrote into us, and is not designed to make any money. The emailer simply just wants to "spread the good word about Derren". If you wish to obtain a copy, please email in with your request.

A few spelling mistakes corrected, a new Derren fan site added to the links page and a few sources corrected. There told you it was quick, didn't I?

Hello Derren Browners!
This update starts with a request. If you taped Derren on E4 last weekend, and don't mind the idea of making a (tiny) bit of money(as we don't condone copyright fraud here at derrenbrown.150m.com), listen up! A good few Derren fans out there are looking for a kind soul to make a copy of Derren's Mind Control night on E4, which they will kindly pay for. If you have a copy and can make more, please write in!

We have another article - why aren't there any specific books on what Derren does? and an excellent review of Derren's show at the tobacco factory found here.

Last but not least, we have Derren on the radio!! for you all to listen to - in case you missed him the first time round. The quality is bearable, but not amazing - as the files need to be kept small. If you try to download the files, please be patient, as too many users can cause the site to be disabled (as you have probably noticed).

I'll end with a bit of personal news - Derren emailed me recently (thank you to Derren for that). He thanked me for the site, corrected me on an article: Dez Brown's Lovely Thaumaturgy Column (see the link for details) and to congratulate me on being more obsessed with him than he is!

Sleep well Derren… (only kidding)

Derren Brown radio interviews ... COMING SOON!

1 November 2002
A suggestion which someone emailed me, was to create a photo reading page. Speed reading and photo reading are very similar, so I have added a link to photoreading.com in the speed reading page.

It's a Derren Brown weekend! Derren does RI:SE, radio 2 and E4 today and tomorrow (see 23 Oct update for details)

Last of all, the very first fan art of Derren is here! A huge thanks to Rachel for sending that in - keep them coming!
