Derren Brown's television and stage performances have entranced and
dumbfounded millions. His baffling illusions and stunning set
pieces - such as The Seance, Russian Roulette and The Heist - have
set new standards of what's possible, as well as causing more than
their fair share of controversy. Now, for the first time, he
reveals the secrets behind his craft, what makes him tick and just
why he grew that beard. Tricks of the Mind takes you on a journey
into the structure and pyschology of magic. Derren teaches you how
to read clues in people's behaviour and spot liars. He discusses
the whys and wherefores of hypnosis and shows how to do it. And he
investigates the power of suggestion and how you can massively
improve your memory. He also takes a long hard look at the
paranormal industry and why some of us feel the need to believe in
it in the first place. Alternately hilarious, controversial and
challenging, Tricks of the Mind is essential reading for Derren's
legions of fans, and pretty bloody irresistible even if you don't
like him that much... HIS NEW BOOK, A LITTLE HAPPIER: NOTES FOR
REASSURANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW.

From risque cabaret performances to engrossing after-hours shop
talk, "Trade of the Tricks" offers an unprecedented look inside the
secretive subculture of modern magicians. Entering the flourishing
Paris magic scene as an apprentice, Graham M. Jones gives a
firsthand account of how magicians learn to perform their
astonishing deceptions. He follows the day-to-day lives of some of
France's most renowned performers, revealing not only how secrets
are created and shared, but also how they are stolen and destroyed.
In a book brimming with humor and surprise, Jones shows how today's
magicians marshal creativity and passion in striving to elevate
their amazing skill into high art. The book's lively cast of
characters includes female and queer performers whose work is
changing the face of a historically masculine genre.
