The work you've done with Derren could be seen as transcending traditional magic, as it blurs the line between genuine psychology and trickery. Do you think that there are other scientific disciplines, which, if exploited as a framework for magic, would have the same air of realism as Mr Brown's shows and character have?

The reviews seemed to indicate that "Ghost Story" was one of the most terrifying plays brought to the London Stage. I think that most would agree that truly scaring people is a much more difficult prospect in a stage play than on the big screen. How did your work as a magician, mentalist, and magic creator help to prepare you for the production of Ghost Story?
"Black Death" was a a very intelligent thriller. Even at the end of the movie I was left wondering who was right, who was wrong, and who the "good guys" were. Your character could have easily been portrayed as a witless thug or a simple victim and yet you brought a lot of depth and bravery to that role. Was the role originally written with such depth or is building that depth part of your job as an actor?
Being a "Sharpe" fan I have to ask....what is it like to work with Sean Bean?
Hello Mr. Nyman... I want to ask:
- What was the strangest reaction of the audience seeing your performance?
- Who is your favourite performer alive?
- And, when you started with magic, did you ever think you could reach this far?

1. If you could pick Any stage-name, what would it be
2. Of all the other art forms, which one do you think magic relates closest to?

Ps- South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria and Egypt are collectively called Sane. It would be awesome if you'll filmed there, that way you could film Insane in SANE!
Why did you choose theory11 as opposed to other companies to sell your effect insane?
