I do a take on the mind-control deck routine.
This is another prop I’d been interested in using for a while but had trouble thinking of a good premise for it. It was the suggestion to look at Derren Brown for inspiration that gave me the theme. I have no ill will towards Derren Brown; the man’s worked hard to become a success and he deserves the accolades. I just can’t say I’m that big a fan of his performance style or his overreliance on pseudo-psychological “explanations” to pass off his tricks as some hyper-intellectual feats. But that’s just me.
