This is a video cut from "Trick of The Mind"
series aired in the UK. The clip here is
taken directly from Season 1 -- Episode 1.
This is one of my favorite segments done by
Derren. It explains for the most part how he
did achieve the feat, and the trick is quite
clever. Don't get too hung up on the ending
though; it's merely a trick.
I've got all of Derren's work on my computer,
and if you're interested in somehow obtaining
the information, email me at
tranceriver@gmail.com and we'll talk.
