Customer Reviews

Next time, use an editor! - Rated 3/5
There's some interesting material here but it's buried beneath sloppy, verbose writing. Gave up trying to read it properly about a third of the way through and skimmed the rest. It's about delusion.


A refreshingly honest trickster - Rated 5/5
Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Mr. Brown joins the ranks of outspoken skeptics who try to educate us on our mind errors and how they can be used against us. A healthy reading for all.


An Introduction - at least - Rated 4/5
This book acts exactly how Derren wanted it to, its an introduction into the world of up-close magic, and mental suggestion. It is written in his unique style of language and contains some good tricks.

If you would like to get into NLP, mental suggestion or even some close up magic this is great as an introduction.


Thrilling and Insiteful - Rated 5/5
Well I was sceptical about this book, although I'm not naive enough to think he would disclose all this secrets to me for £4.50, I was anticipating a few helpful hints. I anticipated correctly. The book is well written, has a complex lexis 'lol' and is genuinely humorous from the off. I can't wait to finish it, I struggle to put it down.


10 Needles is a haystack - Rated 2/5
Firstly, some of the points that Derren makes are really interesting, and I agree with the other reviews when they say that it offers a valuable insight into a hidden world.

My problem is that it is so badly written it is very hard to read. Most of the time Derren fills in pages upon pages telling an anecdote, slightly boring. And the reason for this comes out around half way through. He tells how his editor/publisher wanted him to write a self help book, but Derren did not want to, he wanted something more comprehensive. The problem is that Derren has spoiled the valuable information by burying them in boring anecdotes to up the word count.

If you can skim read/speed read then this will help you get to the 'meat' of the book. There is an excellent bibliography at the end which is really useful and overall the book is not that bad, it just doesn't flow!
