Heading into the Theatre Royal there was an interesting electricity in the air, a kind of palpable anticipation.
I was somewhat familiar with Derren Brown, having seen some of his TV specials, but I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this live show, Showman.
Quite by design, Derren Brown wants you to go in blind, to enter the auditorium without any prior conceptions about what to expect from the following couple of hours. I myself was even sworn to secrecy along with the rest of the sold-out audience.
