We all recognize Derren Brown as one of the finest mentalists of our age. His critically acclaimed writings, television shows, and theatrical productions have made him a respected household name all over the world. Everyone knows that.

What fewer people know is that years before his fame, Derren earned his living as a close-up magician specializing in card magic. He released The Devil's Picturebook in 1999, a stunning collection of card material years ahead of its time. The card magic he performs and teaches offer a rare glimpse into how Derren thinks about his magic, and how he constructs routines. Then, as now, the audience's emotions are always Derren's primary focus.
