Most readers will, immediately upon being informed of those risks, move on to the next thing, in hopes of finding a sure thing. Or, in the books, does Derren discuss some of his current techniques used and he doesn't want the public to reflect on the material in the book and now know that his current stage persona is "explainable" by a thorough reading of the material in those books?

There is always the possibility that there was one or two at a 1p that sold to shove the ranking up. Prior to the release of pure effect, and indeed for a while onwards, Derren had not come out as gay. What does "concerns about the direction his career is taking" mean and what does his career change have to do with what he previously printed?

This is significant not only because it says so much about the book but it says so much about the method in which we came to own his book because w e actually purchased it.

His dismissal of ethical implications are a bit too cavalier for my tastes, although there is perhaps truth to his suggestion that as "the character of the per-former becomes more defined . Or does Derren not want his name (and the public's perception of him) to be associated with that type of magic?The Devils Picture Book DVD was re-released and it is the effects for Pure Effect with maybe one or two missing. but yes they are very collectable and i'm lucky to own first editions on both books (which have been signed by the man himself) and i dont want to get rid of them.
