In & of Itself

Derek is Mesmerising.

His story telling pulls you in.

His card tricks are amusing His fun with the audience impressive He reminds me of Darren Brown

The audience is good at acting there parts and Derek really is good at his illusions.

It is well worth watching and probably worth a repeat performance.

The sound is Good The Photography is Good The Entertainment is Good.

Enjoy.... 👍

I learned something tonight. Not about myself, but about others.

Thank you Derek.

This is insightful, inventive, introspective, moving and thoroughly entertaining.

It really is phenomenal and I urge everyone to eatch it.

First of all the cover image of the video is of my wife and me when we saw this in NYC. We loved the show live and think the movie has found a way to capture the essence of the live performance. My wife had said it best this is her review:

It really is a raw and powerful show. I don't think anyone can watch this show and not be affected by it. So many of the people in the audience were deeply moved, and some were brought to tears. Derek is deliberate in his presentation, he is piercing in his gaze, he uses silence as well as words, and when he does speak, you are hanging on every word. Oh, and he's incredibly talented too. I chose I AM a dreamer. Edmund chose I AM a trickster, but seeing what some people chose for themselves was at times beautiful, funny, and incredibly sad. Fantastic show. 522 shows.

Man, I wish I lived in New York... At times, I thought this magic act/one-man show might be the most pretentious thing I've ever seen; by the end, I thought maybe the pretension lies in me, arrogantly thinking my ability to discern meaning from someone else's work is what gives it value. That's how powerful this is; that segment/trick at the end alone, of Derek "seeing"/" naming" every audience member, was undeniably breathtaking.
