Win DVDs and books from master illusionist Derren Brown!

Competition closes on November 29 2008.

Probably everyone's heard of master illusionist/mesmerist Derren Brown. We have 3 copies of his fascinating book 'Tricks of the Mind' (in which he explains his techniques and offers practical advice on developing your own 'mentalist' skills) AND 3 copies of his latest DVD (including 'The Seance') to give away!

Controversial, award-winning psychological illusionist Derren Brown uses his unique fusion of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship to push the boundaries of magic to new heights in a collection of his best one-off shows in 'The Specials' boxset released by 4DVD on 3rd November 2008.

Featuring four of Derren's most well-known shows to date: 'Russian Roulette Live', 'The Heist', 'Seance', and 'The System', the DVD boxset also includes a fantastic range of special features such as behind the scenes footage, making-of documentaries and more. In a class of his own – both on stage and television – Derren intoxicates audiences with his unique brand of intelligent and theatrical entertainment and 'The Specials' does not disappoint.

In 'Russian Roulette Live', Derren performs one his most dangerous feats yet. Filmed in a secret location, a member of the public - chosen from a nationwide search - loads a real handgun with a single bullet and hands it back to him. 'The Heist' sees Derren give a masterclass in persuasion as he explores how little it takes for the human mind to cross into deviant behaviour. Assuming the guise of a motivational speaker, Derren Brown attempts to convince a group of responsible, middle-management businessmen and women to steal £100,000 from a bank in an armed robbery. In 'The Seance', twelve volunteers use traditional methods – ranging from automatic writing to The Spirit Cabinet to the Ouija Board. Using his trademark skills and showmanship, Derren Brown challenges some of the most prevalent myths of spiritualism and tests how effective a seance can be with a modern audience. Finally, the established Master of Mind Control develops a guaranteed method of winning at the horses in 'The System'.

To celebrate the release of 'The Specials', released 3rd November by C4, Mookychick has 3 copies of the DVD and 3 copies of Derren's fantastic book 'Tricks of the Mind' (in which he explains his techniques and offers practical advice on developing your own 'Mentalist' skills) to give away!
