I went to Derren's last tour in 2008 for the second time due to the fact I was so taken a-back by this man's talent I found myself having to go again.

To anyone who is sceptical of Derren on channel 4 go and see him live! I was before I saw him and then he read my mind... blind folded!!

"You want to attend Portsmouth University isn't that right?"
"Err.... yes!!"
"Well put that out of your mind for the moment you will be fine there! I want to concerntrate on your new puppy... now he has a slightly odd name right?"
"Yes..."
"It begins with... R and has a p sound in the middle... yes keep calling your dog in your head... no not hes nick-name his full name... he's called Ripley right?"
"......"

After that I was literally shaking... I couldn't believe it. He is amazing!

(I also got into University which was amazing when I looked back on what Derren said!!)

Well what can I say about Derren Brown's fourth tour ENIGMA that doesn't reveal anything from the show that would ruin it for those who haven't seen it?  The only thing I can say is that it is THE GREATEST SHOW I have ever seen.

I have seen 'Tricks of the Mind', 'Trick or Treat', and his televised live shows but it becomes absolutely nothing when you see him live.  From TV people can't help think that tricks may have been pre-arranged with and shot repetitively until the trick works out.  It just isn't the case live.  Derren has one attempt and every time his tricks and games worked to  perfection.  They were immaculate.

Throughout the night the audience were thrown into fits of laughter and stunned silence.  We were amazed yet scared at the performance given.  The stunts he performs are impossible when heard but to see the stunts he does live, there in front of your eyes, is unbelievable.  What I've said really doesn't put across how spectacular this man is.  He is a wonder to see.

Again, Derren with his trusty frisbee's, hurls them in the crowd, in the stalls, up to the circle for completely random members of the public to join him in his mind games, trickery and scary, baffling and hilarious stunts.

People may call Derren Brown a performer but he is more than that.  He is an entertainer.  While he may amaze us with reading the minds of blindfolded strangers and summoning spirits with his illusions and guesswork, he does it with a smile on his face and toys with the crowd to which there was laughter throughout the whole night.

I'm not going to say what happens in the show and I don't want to.  It would ruin it for you and also Derren asks his audiences not to reveal what happens as it would be unfair and spoil it for those who haven't.  So all I will say is: just don't underestimate ENIGMA.

I went to see Derren Brown on his "An evening of wonders tour", earlier this year in Grimsby. The evening was a mix of emotions from tension, excitement, joy and sheer disbelief at what he was achieving! The audience inclusion in the show added to the tension, as by the chance of a random frisbee catch you could have be chosen to participate. This evening was fun packed and in the audience were people from 16 to the OAPs all enjoying the show. I would recommend his shows to anyone who wants an exciting, fun packed evening that will leave you talking about it to anyone who will listen for days!

I went to watch the Enigma Tour on 24th April 2009 in Bournemouth. It was the first time i had ever seen Derren Live. The show was amazing and i would see it again if i had a chance to. He is a genius. I had only ever watched him on channel 4. He is very talented and i just can't stop talking about the show.
