My techniques are concerned with reading signals from people, tiny unconscious clues that betray their thoughts. I tend to see it like a game... - Derren Brown

Few things make me more livid than insulting bad theatre of any sort. Conversely, perfectly realised and exquisitely elegant performance can move me deeply and reduce me to sobbing like a big girl.

If you concern yourself with telling or showing people how interesting you are, you will at best provoke a temporary response of polite interest until even that gives way to annoyance. If you let people find it out for themselves, you become a real source of fascination.

Every day when you leave your home you give away more than you could ever imagine about who you are and what you do.
