„Všechny důkazy hovoří jasně o tom, že příběhy Nového zákona byly sepsány během několika set let po smrti historického Ježíše. V průběhu prvního tisíciletí byly mnohokrát upravovány a přepracovány, aby odpovídaly politickým a společenským potřebám.“

Magie a manipulace mysli. Překlad Hana Loupová. Praha: Argo, 2007. 302 s. ISBN 9788072039425.

„Člověk může z celého srdce a upřímně věřit v cokoli: v psychické schopnosti, křesťanskou věrouku, nebo, jak ironicky podotkl Bertrand Russell, ve skutečnost, že na oběžné dráze kolem Země se pohybuje čajová konvice. Kterékoli z těchto věcí bych mohl věřit s bezvýhradním přesvědčením. Jenže moje přesvěčení jim nedodá pravdivosti.“

„Svět paranormálních jevů je podle mě fascinující, ale současně deprimující směsicí sebeklamu, placeba a sugesce, šarlatánství a zneužívání.“

„Na lidech, o nichž jsem věděl, že věří v paranormální jevy, mě zaujala jedna věc: potvrzovali si své představy výběrovým způsobem.“

Derren Brown: Citáty anglicky

“Music is arguably the most affecting of the arts; intelligible to all people yet untranslatable into any other idiom. To Schopenhauer it was a direct expression of the ‘world will’… and was good when he had guests over.”

“[Magic] can be poorly presented and surrounded by naffness, and often amounts to little more than childish attempts to fool you. I guess it’s largely to escape those associations that I’ve gone the route I have.”

“Magic means nothing. It has the potential to connect us to something wonderful, as does any performance, but it is not wonderful in itself, for it is inseparable from the particular performance in which it is experienced. A magician who is too fast, too slow, mumbles, shouts, smells, is unlikeable or incomprehensible will unavoidably taint his magic with his personal failings.”

“The appreciation of a painting or a piece of music, for example, or even falling in love, is all about our subjectivity. But to decide that the entire universe operates in such a way, let alone to go to war because we are so convinced we are right that others must agree with us or die, that surely should demand a higher level of argument than 'It's true because I really, really feel it is.”

“Now I know what you are thinking; “how did he know what was drawn in the envelope?” Clearly, I must have detected in his voice the accent of my home town, Bristol, so he’s only going to be thinking of a tractor or marrying your own sister. A tractor's easier to draw so Bob's your uncle… and your Dad. And you'd be right.”

“There will always be liars, swindlers and charlatans. Hopefully there will also always be the modern Houdinis and the seekers of the truth, snapping at their heels and holding them to account.”

“In the same breath, one might add that the atheist is surely as religious as the Christian, in that he has adopted a set of beliefs to which he chooses to rigorously adhere. While it’s temptingly clever to make that claim, it is a nonsensical statement; no more logical than to say that a Christian is a type of atheist. Having a set of beliefs about religion is not the same as being a religious True Believer.”

“Magicians do not, as a rule, presume that their audiences are intelligent and sensitive enough to want the magic to be challenging and cathartic. This is not a healthy starting point, for it stultifies magic and leaves it too close to children’s entertainment.”

“Participant. A participant is active, a part of the process, and a necessary component of the magical experience. This is how it should be. No magic happens unless the participant perceives it as magical, so she can never be a mere spectator.”

“I decided that my magic had to change. That I had to give serious thought to presentation. That, in fact, my presentation of the effects is where my impact as a magician lies – I realised that it can turn a good effect into something artistic and stunning.”

“A diner having a row with a waiter in a swanky restaurant chills the blood in a way that a quarrel over a pizza order elsewhere would never do. Compassion is rarely the custom of the privileged.”
