In that time he has had umpteen television programmes and has taught at some of the most respected schools for mediumistic development. Legions of people have witnessed his unique gifts first hand and can testify what he does is truly amazing.

      "It's one thing for a medium to tell you that they've got "someone who's passed over" coming through, and that "they love and miss you". It's something else entirely when they provide you with clinically accurate information about specific times, places and events that they simply couldn't have gathered by scientifically-accepted means" Mike Halliwell, Journalist

    • Be prepared for a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience when the master of psychological illusion returns to the stage with DERREN BROWN: ENIGMA. Derren will once again bewilder, baffle and bewitch and show why he is one of the country's most revered live performers; a master of magic, mind control and psychological illusion. This is the second leg of the tour that started in 2009 and the show, Enigma, is the same show and will be performing in theatres where it has not been seen previously as well as going back to theatres where it appeared in 2009.

      Derren says:"Like previous shows, I will absolutely push myself to the limit. The challenge is to create new material that shocks, surprises and defies explanation. The audience will be taken for a theatrical roller-coaster ride, and I hope it's an experience that they will never forget".

      What the press said of Derren Brown: Enigma in 2009:

      "A spectacular night of entertainment. Derren Brown is, without a shadow of a doubt, this country's greatest illusionist. His latest show sees him climb heights rarely, if ever, achieved by any other legend of the magical arts. Some of the illusions are beyond mind-boggling and do truly beggar belief. Derren Brown, you put Merlin to shame." Time Out

      "Enigma raised the hoodwink and the scam to the level of art...you repeatedly find yourself retrieving your jaw from the floor." Daily Telegraph

      "Brilliant...there was nothing for it but to surrender to his control." Mail on Sunday Please note that this show is not suitable for Under 12's
