Magician Brian Brushwood recounts on his blog the tale of how Teller, the mute half of the magic duo Penn & Teller, sent him a lovely letter in reply to his own that changed his career for the better. It is so great that we have to share it with you, especially since we all know Derren has expressed his appreciation of Teller's magic often (for example in his book). You just know it's worth a read when the letter starts like this;

"My dear bastard son,

It is about time you wrote, my boy."

Read the whole story on this link and find Derren's own letter of advice to a young mentalist in the Svengali Brochure.
