This is a must-read for everyone! I would highly recommend reading this book pre-GCSE revision as his memory techniques are really amazing.Derren Brown covers a range of topics and writes in a serious but humorous tone of voice. He teaches the reader about how to tell if someone is lying, memory techniques, tricks and suggestion, hypnotism (particularly interesting) and about religion and science.
My sister had an exam recently and I taught her one of the memory techniques that evening, the night before her exam. Not only could she remember 5 complex lists with ease (not easy for someone dyslexic) but she could remember every detail and no doubt probably still can. The only annoying thing about the book was the fact that it points out just how wrong teachers are going. Mnemonics schnemonics! That's the craziest method they ever taught me and it's really quite rubbish - pick up this book teachers out there!
