    I think you have to stick with it at times-  many parts I will read again and continue thinking
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018*

Loved the beginning stream of consciousness writing. The history lesson/philosophy part that is a detailed journey of where the idea/word happiness came from is a little to much for me- but I’m trudging through it.  He has obviously delved into where his own  educated beliefs come from and his thought process that brought him to where he is. His intelligence is amazing to me and I love the the deepness of his investigation of his own ideas and beliefs. I bought Happy at the same time and am going back and forth in both( BTW- I don’t recommend).But when I get bogged down by one I go to the other. Both are brave revealing glimpses into an amazing mind. I mix up his books in my mind probably- easy to do for me. I think the way he admits his insecurity and stress he has felt also very hard for many to do- & it is amazing to think a person so unique ( and to me unique and special) has grown to a place where he openly lets a reader know of his minds thoughts. I would personally love to meet and just listen to him in person, but I’m sure I would be the giddy one & not have a thought in my head, probably would trip over my own feet, and blankly become the village idiot-  I am someone who also sit in coffee shops, etc and wonders about people. While able to be successful in a career, I have to hide my deeply caring and very inquisitive nature. While I could never compare myself to him I find him Very endearing. He is so intriguing.

Derren Brown is now the most popular entertainer in the U.K., although he is practically unknown in the Western Hemisphere. That may change if his videos are released in Region One (North America) format, but as of now, only Americans with quirky interests are aware of him. I count myself among the Brown votaries, and I've watched videos of his stage performances over and over, because he is, I believe, the greatest performer of any kind in the world. As a magician he is as entertaining as Penn & Teller; as a mentalist, he takes up where the Amazing Kreskin left off; his powers seem to equal those of 

  
Mandrake the Magician









  
  
    
  , and in addition to his charisma, Derren Brown (like both Penn & Teller) is erudite, knowledgeable and a sincere skeptic.Nevertheless, I warn you not to buy this book. Scattered throughout 327 pages is an explanation of how a common card trick is done (misdirection), but most of it reads like the words of a late-night phone call you may have received from a very needy acquaintance who has gone of his medication or into the bottle. It's stream-of-consciousness writing on the level of what a hyperactive eight-year-old who has taken a shine to you might say, but even worse, it's horribly overwritten, and Brown's talent as a writer is nowhere near that of his talent as a public performer.There is no organization to the book, and his accounts of quotidian activities include descriptions of handkerchiefs (for their original purpose, not for magic), his favorite toilet paper, his favorite reading while on the toilet, reflections on nose picking, what he sings while cleaning his teeth, and the technique of wiping one's anus.  Most topics are interrupted by at least one agonizingly long and tedious footnote concerning something related, or -> zoom! <- off he goes on a tangent to something even more boring. (Earwax!  Why did he neglect to contemplate the dilemma of earwax?)Now why, you may ask, would a fellow whom I've just touted as being so brilliant write such a ghastly book?  A common guess might be that it was thrown together under the pressure of some contractual deadline, and I originally thought that Confessions of a Conjuror must have been dictated while traveling between shows on a tour, but no, he describes the toolbar of Microsoft Office (of course!), as he's typing in some restaurant.No, it's even worse than that. Although Brown reflects on moments of self-doubt and embarrassment, he's so confident (full of himself) that this is an attempt to duplicate 

  
Ulysses









  
  
    
  .  He already wrote 

  
a normal book









  
  
    
  , so now the omni-tallented Derren will flex his mighty mind muscles and produce a work of avant-garde literature!  Move over, James Joyce! Stand aside, Samuel Beckett! The entire journey through his mindscape takes place during the single card trick, and the style is gussied-up in a bravado display of literary prowess.  Unfortunately, this means that all the typical habits of bad amateur writing are displayed, such as word inflation -- e.g., he uses "wastage" when he means plain old *waste.*There seems to be a danger zone in which popular performers try their hand at great aht or being profound. Think of the visual art of John Lennon, the 

  
opera by Roger Waters









  
  
    
  , or the 

  
poetry of Jim Morrison









  
  
    
  .  This book is more on a level of 

  
the singing of William Burroughs









  
  
    
  . I worry that next, Derren will try and write a mass for apostates or a novel told in the voice of his pet fish.To avoid the wrath of Derren Brown worshippers, may I recommend that if you have an interest in Derren Brown and are eager to read a book by him, his earlier book, 

  
Tricks Of The Mind









  
  
    
  , is not only readable, but it's quite interesting. Get that one; avoid this one.

    Great book and fun read
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2017*

One of my favorite magicians.  I stumbled upon him by mistake when I was watching you tube videos on close up magic and mentalism.  He is a true performer and his showmanship to me is unmatched.  If you ever have the opportunity to see him perform than you are lucky but listening to him speak is great because his books read, in my mind at least, just like he speaks.
