I went into my viewing interested and intrigued. I had heard many describe their experience as transformative and talked about how they or their friends cried for hours and thought about this show for days, weeks, and months after viewing. MyI went into my viewing interested and intrigued. I had heard many describe their experience as transformative and talked about how they or their friends cried for hours and thought about this show for days, weeks, and months after viewing. My intrigue lasted up until just after the end of the first story when it became apparent that this was all an emotional manipulation put on by the magician. In "In & of Itself" Derek Delgaudio manipulates the audience as he would a deck of cards. The emotions he tries to convey feel forced on me like a card he wants me to pull in his trick. The stories are pointless pseudo profound vehicles for a few bits of slight of hand and mentalism, which are few and far between. After watching then seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews online I feel like I am living out "The Emperor's New Clothes". This is nothing more than a frowning magician making you believe you heard and saw something amazing. It's the same recipe magicians have been cooking up for hundreds of years, Derek just threw in some other ingredients that taste awful to me. Expand

This dude is SO boring to watch. What’s the trick? What am I watching? Was THAT the trick, oh wait, he’s still flipping cards... I think the trick is that I’m still watching this boring guy. Like watching an NPR host do magic tricks andThis dude is SO boring to watch. What’s the trick? What am I watching? Was THAT the trick, oh wait, he’s still flipping cards... I think the trick is that I’m still watching this boring guy. Like watching an NPR host do magic tricks and telling pointless stories. Here’s a good idea, have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener! Expand
