DERREN BROWN, INFAMOUS, MAYFLOWER THEATRE SOUTHAMPTON

MIND-BLOWING mentalist Derren Brown captivated a packed audience on the opening night of his psychological illusion show Infamous.

The master of magic, mind reading and so much more, leaves everyone guessing just how he does it.

There was plenty of audience interaction and humour in the first act while after the interval there was more mental arithmetic and a deeper, spiritual theme.

The only disappointment was that the camera used to project Brown’s tricks onto a big screen was a bit temperamental but the technology came good in the end.
