Most UK viewers know Derren Brown through his 'Mind Control' TV shows made by Objective Productions, and his amazing specials 'Russian Roulette', 'Seance' and 'Messiah'. However, long before the 'Mind Control' shows were made, one of Derren's earliest TV appearances was on a BBC 2 tea-time chat show hosted by Lowri Turner. For this show, Derren posed as a psychic and gave a reading to a member of the audience.

100% of the material in the reading he gave came from my cold reading book.

Let's be clear about this: Derren is rightly heralded as an amazingly versatile and talented performer, and he is a man with many strings to his bow. Buying my book on cold reading does not mean you will be able to go out and do the things you see Derren doing on TV. That would be absurd.

Nonetheless, if you have seen Derren talking about 'cold reading' and you want to read the best book on the subject, and the only one that he endorses, well... here it is!

I state for the record that I have no commercial relationship with Derren Brown or Objective Productions, and I neither state nor imply any endorsement of myself, my work or my books by Objective Productions. The only endorsement of my book by Derren Brown is the quote presented elsewhere on this website.
