    It's a kind of magic.

    Let me tell you a story, are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin. Stop reading and just watch, why do you need other people's affirmations? The consensus says... Who cares?

    It is truly marmite. Some will love it's affirmations of self, that we all long to be seen and take joy in the message. Others will see through it's emotional trickery and slight of hand Tom foolery and walk away with nothing. For those people I feel truly sorry.

    Losses one star because the medium would be more powerful in person and now I've seen this I can never experience it for the first time in real life. For which I feel sadness. Excellent performance.

    Strangely Mesmerising

    Derek is Mesmerising.

    His story telling pulls you in.

    His card tricks are amusing His fun with the audience impressive He reminds me of Darren Brown

    The audience is good at acting there parts and Derek really is good at his illusions.

    It is well worth watching and probably worth a repeat performance.

    The sound is Good The Photography is Good The Entertainment is Good.

    Enjoy.... 👍

    Extraordinary

    Please go in without reading up on what you are about to see. Turn off your devices, make sure you won't be interrupted, and just experience it. If your partner/housemate/friend is a chatty show watcher, watch it alone.

    It's hard to write a review that doesn't tell you anything, but I think it's quite important not to know what to expect. It can be a deeply moving experience.

    Ignore all comments other than this, this is all you need to read

    Just watch it. There are people who dislike it, and there are people who loved it. No person is going to be able to decide whether you like this or not except you.
    9garnet-suss

    To call this a documentary about magic is doing it a disservice. This is unlike anything I have ever seen before.

    This is insightful, inventive, introspective, moving and thoroughly entertaining.

    It really is phenomenal and I urge everyone to eatch it.
