Magician, mind-reader, illusionist, writer, mentalist and now Portrait Artist.    Last night saw the launch of ‘Portraits’ a book of a series of paintings of celebrities from all walks of life by Derren Brown. The launch for the book was held at the Rebecca Hossack gallery in Soho where the original paintings are also being exhibited.

The evening was  a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended.
