10min per trick (75 min for 8 tricks)

I've seen all of his shows, but in this one he seemed a bit out of ideas. The tricks were mostly simple and easy to decipher. Most of the time he'll be building up and building up and... building up, just to show a disappointing finale.

Maybe I expected more from him, but I really didn't enjoy anything from this show. It was basically him trying really hard to get everyone in the same state of mind, just to show of some lazy simple street-art trick.

I rate this a 2 / 10 just for his effort / energy.

Derren is extremely annoying and fake

I enjoy most magic shows/ films, but, Derren seemed to just stretch very basic tricks into 10-20 minute presentations.

The way he presented himself on stage and how he treated the audience was extremely annoying, also.

I'd give this one a miss.

A single word ruined the show

It was all fun and games until he dropped "cow" after clumsy when referring to one of the guest volunteers.

Loved it to bits

I am not Christian and I think most reviewers are biased. The man helped me get rid of so many superstitions added to my religion Islam. He revealed the tricks that the so-called healers use to rip people off. The message is loud and clear: Go seek a doctor if you are sick . Choose to believe in a God or not is your own choice . Leave the miracles out of it. I loved the show a lot and I strongly recommend it for the open-minded people. For those who chose to put their heads in the ground and accepted religion as the answer for everything, this show will not make them at ease.

nothin new

Very similar to his previous show on British TV. It even brings less to the table with its short playtime. You can savely skip this if you have seen his earlier "miracle" shows.

Storyline

Did you know

Edit

Goofs
Derren references the unbroken genetic chain from the people sitting in the audience all the way back to the first single-celled organism "seven billion years ago."

Single-celled organisms didn't evolve until 3.5 billion years ago, and, in fact, the Earth itself didn't form until 4.5 billion years ago.

Quotes
Derren Brown: This is the one life and the one body we have. We can tell ourselves a different story about it at least.
Derren Brown: We can be kinder to ourselves and therefore to others as well because we are all doing it.
Derren Brown: We're all telling ourselves those unhelpful stories, all of us.
Derren Brown: Everyone you meet is dragging around their own heavy case of bricks.
Derren Brown: What's important though is to mentally stop time and return to that present moment and how we're treating ourselves and each other in the moment.
Derren Brown: Because it's only the present moment that has the power to be utterly compelling and rich and vibrant as if that moment were you're first.
Derren Brown: Or as if it were you last.
Derren Brown: You are the miracle!
