ector Chadwick is a pseudonym.
The man behind the pseudonym is co-writer of Derren Brown shows such as Svengali, Apocalypse, The Great Art Robbery, and The Push.
‘Miscellanea’ contains a small collection of essays in which Hector discusses overused and thoughtless lines in magic, the abundance of words in most mentalism shows, and how to ensure the memory of a trick can’t be casually explained away.
It also contains two tricks: the opening routine from Hector’s old stage show, and an impromptu card trick involving the prediction of a single playing card.
